Drilling and Wells
Drilling Practices
A broad two-week course on drilling technology that blends theory with practical application for wells of any complexity. Participants learn to plan wells from drilling data, factor in completion needs, and drill efficiently while avoiding problems such as stuck pipe. The course also explains the theory behind the software used to design many aspects of modern wells.
