Basics of Well Design and Execution Training
This online-only course consists of a series of videos ranging in length from 6 to 20 minutes with a total of ~5 hours of content and is intended to cover basic concept and the main drivers that should be understood to appropriately design a well and drill it successfully. The following topics are covered and can be taken as a comprehensive course or students can sign up for individual topics. Keep in mind that all the topics are tied together and trying to focus on solving one issue may result in
a negative impact on another part of your well design. An example is making changes to solve a hole cleaning or wellbore stability issue that results in an ECD or Surge/Swab becoming more challenging.
