About
This course is part of the Track 1: Well Site Supervisor Development Program. Well Site Supervisor Development Program - Track 1. Data capture for each hole interval is an integral part of all drilling operations. This Descriptive Formation Fundamentals Unit builds an awareness foundation for petrophysical, rock, and fluid properties is laid. This includes the physics and chemistry associated with the various properties and how that interpreted data is integrated into well planning, drilling optimization, completions and well interventions. Wellbore stability and fracture gradient changes related to hole angle and the ripple effect on casing seat selection are addressed. The integration of this data into maintaining “life of well” integrity from the key components of casing, cement, and wellhead are also addressed. The impact on drilling fluid design and lost circulation options are also included. A total of 32 hours are included in this course with 23 hrs eLearning and 9 hrs virtual instructor-led sessions.
