Provides a technical overview of the science and art of drilling operations, com
pletion practices and post-completion wellbore enhancement or remedial workover
techniques (well intervention). Reservoir Engineers will learn what can be done
within open-hole and cased wells as they execute reservoir management. Drilling
and completion personnel will learn how the producing reservoir can be damaged o
r stimulated by what they do. The participants learn to visualize what is happen
ing "downhole", discover what can be accomplished and gain an appreciation for w
ellbore risks and the possibility of damage to the formation; and how drilling a
nd completion practices can alter reservoir interpretation and performance.
Discipline: Introductory and Multi-Discipline Training
Level: Basic
Who should attend:
Technical, field, service, support and supervisory personnel desiring to gain an
introductory overview of these topics and how they interrelate. Excellent for c
ross-training of other technical disciplines such as reservoir and surface facil
ity engineers plus geoscientists, and anyone who interacts with drilling, comple
tion or workover design engineers such as technical supervisors and technical se
rvice personnel. This is not a10/19/2014 Basic Drilling, Completion & Workover O
perations fundamental course for training engineers seeking a career in drilling
or workovers (for these,PO1 is recommended).
You will learn:
How drilling, completing and reworking a well affects its ability to produce
What can be done within open-hole and cased wells, as a part of reservoir manage
ment
