HPHT Well Design and Operations

Upon completion of this course, the participants will be equipped with:

• Challenges related to formation pressure predictions
• The impact of high pressures and temperatures on well design aspects and well behavior during construction of the well
• Understand the impact of temperatures and pressures on primary and secondary well barriers
• Understand operational challenges associated with HPHT wells
• HPHT Rig equipment requirements, including the use of Managed Pressure Drilling for HPHT wells
• Well Delivery, fingerprinting, well bore breathing, high-reliability drilling practices
• Well Control – practical well control for on bottom, off bottom and out of hole well control, kicks and losses

This course is intended for well engineers, drilling engineers, completion engineers and well service providers that are about to be involved in HPHT well design and drilling operations.
