HPHT Planning and Operation
Amsterdam, Netherlands
10th - 11th October
Now Also Available Online 8:30 CET - 17:00 CET
Objective
Recognize the key differences in planning and design between HPHT and conventional wells, as well as the unique challenges associated with HPHT operations.
Explain the operational challenges and practices related to drilling and tripping, and how to manage these effectively.
Identify wellbore breathing/ballooning and how to safely address this within the narrow window for mud density selection.
Apply consistent fingerprinting practices and develop procedures that benefit the rig team.
Measure and understand bottom hole pressure, considering the effects of influencing factors such as temperature, rotation, and flow rate.
Understand critical mud properties to alleviate barite sag, implement general mud density control techniques, and specify the essential elements in cementing.
Manage losses and low fracture gradients using wellbore strengthening methods. Execute sound HPHT shutin procedures.
Understand how Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) can contribute to the safe and efficient drilling and hole cleaning of HPHT wells.
Understand the application of MPD Influx Management Envelopes.
Identify critical Early Kick Detection Systems (EKDS) and HPHT well control equipment. Execute safe secondary well control practices in an H2S environment, including bull-heading, on and off-bottom operations, and handling gas at the surface using Mud Gas Separators (MGS).
Who should attend
This course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of drilling for non-drilling professionals interested in gaining knowledge in HPHT planning and operations.
