About this training course
This course is delivered as a scenario-based course to provide knowledge of High-Pressure and High-Temperature (HPHT) well design, drilling and completion operations. The course is specifically designed to provide an understanding of the challenges associated with the design and construction of HPHT wells. The course guides the participants to work through the various well design aspects starting from a geological well proposal with an estimated formation pressure and temperature profile. Working with real well data allows the participants to learn not only theory, technicalities and practicalities of drilling and completing HPHT wells but it also ensures that participants gain real experience in understanding the HPHT issues.
If the course is provided for an internal client project, the course scenario can easily be adapted to use the actual well data from the client. This provides participants with an independent insight into the HPHT challenges of their own well.
Upon completion of this course, the participants will be equipped with:
- Challenges related to formation pressure predictions
- The impact of high pressures and temperatures on well design aspects and well behavior during construction of the well
- Understand the impact of temperatures and pressures on primary and secondary well barriers
- Understand operational challenges associated with HPHT wells
- HPHT Rig equipment requirements, including the use of Managed Pressure Drilling for HPHT wells
- Well Delivery, fingerprinting, well bore breathing, high-reliability drilling practices
- Well Control – practical well control for on bottom, off bottom and out of hole well control, kicks and losses
This course is intended for well engineers, drilling engineers, completion engineers and well service providers that are about to be involved in HPHT well design and drilling operations.
