Deepwater Well Engineering
This course explains the well design and engineering challenges that set deepwater work apart, and how to produce a cost-effective deepwater well plan. Participants work through offset data, rig selection, geohazards, well control and casing design in a deepwater setting. It also frames the deepwater drilling engineer as a project manager handling complex logistics and supply chains.
