Complex Well Core Competency 2009 by Bob Knoll
September 7 - 11, 2009
- Kuala Lumpur MALAYSIA
T.U.N International
Course Summary The core program originated from the DEA 44 Horizontal Well Technology JIP of the late 80's, and has since evolved through constant update and delivery over 260 times in every major petroleum basin globally, with consistently excellent review. During the 90's it was delivered by Maurer Technology (subsidiary of Noble Drilling) to DEA 44 members and via open-industry commercial staging. The program is very interactive and flexible, with easy customization to any specific asset or corporate culture setting for in-house staging as well. Course Objectives The primary objective of this intense, five-day program is to provide operator asset team, D&C operational staff, management & support staff, key service providers and regulators with an appreciation of the crucial multidiscipline aspect of optimized horizontal and more complex development well applications. The program provides a practical-based “big picture” of all the disciplines, issues, and team functions inherent in basic screening, assessing value-added and implementation; and then addresses the advanced technical options of horizontal well design, construction, intervention and production including multi-branch, MPD (managed pressure drilling), CBM, UTG, SAGD, advanced stimulation/intervention options, etc. In addition, the course will: • Review successful and unsuccessful complex well technology applications • Expose common failure reasons and provide practical solutions • Review well design attributes and competing completion options • Foster multidisciplinary approach to horizontal & complex wells • Enhance awareness of advanced exploitation operational risks vs. geological risks Mission Statement To provide a practical, core-competency cross-training program to help the asset team in optimally applying advanced exploitation technology to make more oil/gas faster, cheaper, at maximum social benefit. Workshop Activities The program features hands-on training with computer models utilizing actual field data with quizzes in between. Class exercises walk through the “decision-making” process from candidate screening through multi-well development and work-over operations. Additionally the school reviews the latest technical developments and novel applications.
