At the end of this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the differences in well design between HPHT and conventional wells.
• Describe the effects of HPHT on casing and fluids design.
• Successfully pick casing seats to manage the transition from conventional to highly over-pressured formations.
• Understand the difference between working stress and probabilistic well design.
• Explain the impact of high temperature on casing performance properties.
• Quantify casing loads associated with HPHT wells.
• Perform biaxial collapse and triaxial burst casing design for HPHT wells.
• Identify rig equipment critical to HPHT well delivery and select rigs suitable for HPHT drilling operations.
• Explain and describe the challenges of well control in HPHT environments from pressure prediction, detection and well control procedures.
• Explain how ballooning / wellbore breathing can be identified and managed.
• Describe what is meant by fingerprinting and develop rig procedures to use fingerprinting effectively.
• Explain the importance of Cement Placement.
• Explain why crew training and communication are critical aspects in successful HPHT well delivery.

Personnel directly or indirectly involved in the design and delivery of HPHT wells including:

• Well Design Engineers
• Completions Design Engineers
• Drilling Operations Supervision: Operator Rig Superintendents, Drilling Contractor Rig Managers and Senior Offshore personnel (OIMs, Toolpushers etc)
• Exploration and Production Geologists, Production Technologists and other asset stakeholders

This VILT course content presumes participants will have significant experience in the design and/or delivery of conventional wells. As such, it is unlikely to be suitable for personnel with less than 5 years of relevant industry experience.

To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer individualized “One to One” coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers. They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help you achieve your goals faster.
