Drilling and Wells

Well Design and Engineering

This workshop brings together the main well design disciplines from planning to total depth, with teams applying each topic to a project well for much of every day. Its central aim is to show how each design decision affects those that follow. Participants also learn how the overall planning process should be managed within a dynamic team.
