Course Goals / Objectives:
Design and evaluate well drilling systems; identify and solve drilling problems for all well geometries including directional and horizontal wells.
Calculate the pressure requirement at every stage of the drilling operation from the pump to the bit and back to the surface based on rheological models and drilling hydraulics procedures and the API recommended practices.
Design casing, taking into consideration the pore pressure and the fracture gradient of the formation.
Establish a proper procedure for well control to ensure the safety of the personnel and to protect the environment.
Design a proper cementing procedure for cementing the casing or abandoning a well, taking into considerations the environmental and legal issues.
Analyze the performance of unconventional reservoirs
Explain the physical meaning and evaluate the impact of rock and fluid properties in reservoir engineering and production problems.
Follow flow of fluids from the reservoir/well interface through the well and surface facilities, with emphasis on hardware components, their functions and importance
Describe the basic components (including functions, materials and health, safety and environmental considerations) and methods used to complete and produce oil and gas wells
Describe the basic components (including functions, materials and health, safety and environmental considerations)) that comprise oil and gas production and separation surface facilities and fluid measurement in onshore and offshore facilities
