Deepwater Well Engineering and Well Control

Description:

This course provides the conceptual and operational aspects of Deepwater Well design and construction. Deepwater Rigs types and Selection Criteria are discussed along with drilling equipment systems, Deepwater environment challenges and the related drilling issues and hazards. A geology overview is given together with wellbore stability and well design including casing design, drilling fluids and cementing. Other topics will be covered in this course including Well control, BOP equipment and well completion
