About this Training Course

This Well Design and Construction course is designed to provide participants with a robust knowledge of well engineering principles. Based on the global practices, and standards and using real examples, it represents how well engineering is managed in the oil and gas industry.

As drilling tools and technology evolves, the drilling community must keep pace in order to make the right decisions at the right time. Some of these decisions have a significant impact on reducing non-productive time. However, they are also important to stand out in process safety as major well control incidents [like the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, 2010] have taught us so dramatically in the past. We therefore need a consistent and technology-based approach to decision-making. This can only be achieved if the basics of well engineering have been thoroughly taught, understood, and are then wisely applied.
