Bottom Hole Assembly Design and Well Head Equipment

Introduction

This course covers all relevant subjects required to understand the structural mechanics of downhole tubulars and gain proficiency and confidence in developing safe and cost-effective casing and tubing designs. Material aspects, connection selection, performance properties, load cases, design factors, and buckling are just a few of the many topics that are covered. Attendees are encouraged to bring well designs and well problems, both past and present, to use as in-class exercises.

Objectives

Training Methodology

The course is delivered in a combination of lecture-style and computer-based training. In addition, a significant amount of time is set aside for small working group activity when addressing case study problems. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current best practice.

Who Should Attend?

Drilling and completion engineers and service company personnel with a basic knowledge of well design principles through to experienced drilling engineers who desire a more theoretical, detailed knowledge of the subject. Inspector, Oil Company, Quality Assurance personnel and Third-Party Monitors would also benefit from attending this course
