Horizantal Well Technology, Application, Drilling, Completion, Productivity, and Surveillance

This five-day course will cover the horizontal well technology from a multidiscipline application view.  Participants will gain an understanding of principle for the following topics, during this course, horizontal well technology, reservoir engineering, drilling and completion, along with risks and measurements while drilling.  Cementing, logging while drilling, testing, surveillance, production logging, and production improvement will also be covered.

Participants will also get a chance to learn about the applications of horizontal wells and models, including coning problems, gas reservoirs, fractured wells, and fractured reservoirs.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Learn about the applications of horizontal wells and models, including coning problems, gas reservoirs, fractured wells, and fractured reservoirs
• Learn about horizontal well gravel packs, advanced perforating technology, CT drilling and completion types, horizontal well sand management, along with well evaluation cases and re-entry drilling
• Learn about horizontal well evaluation
• Learn about conveyance methods for bottomhole measurements

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for reservoir, production, operation and drilling engineers responsible for recommending and evaluating horizontal wells as wellas operators and technicians.
