Drill string and BHA Design
Description:
This course is designed to provide drilling and well engineers with the competency to design a drill string for a well. Topics covered will include drill string components, drill string failures and mechanical properties of drill string materials as well as vertical and deviated drill string design. The course will emphasize also the methods and processes of drill string inspection. By the end of the course, attendees will be able to set design constraints and factors, perform an overload design, a fatigue design, monitor and mitigate BHA vibration as well as predict and manage buckling. The course will cover theory, hands-on exercises, and the application of case studies.
