About the course: Well Engineering is basically based
on pore pressure, kick tolerance, casing functions, casing design and
cementing. It is sometimes related to drilling and petroleum engineering. A
valid objective of the well-planning process is to minimize the cost of the
well without jeopardizing the safety aspects.
This intensive 2-week program has been put together to cover Well Engineering topics. The program intends to uplift the knowledge
and skills for Students and Professionals, who will directly involve in well
designing. It will also benefit staff that are or will be working as a member
of a day-to-day operations team.
It is delivered through presentation of a series of
interactive lectures, videos and animations, case studies, simulated drilling
scenarios and facilitated study group discussions supported by technical
reviews. Underpinning the course is a team-based well design project.
Learning Objective:
- Guidance under one world class best instructor

Duration: 2 weeks (1.5 hrs. each day)
Prerequisites: You could be involved in providing
critical support from our global exploration projects, designing, building, and
maintaining different types of wells all over the world. To do this you'll need
a high level of technical competency, passion, and a collaborative work ethic.
