  • This course provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of fundamentals of drilling, completion, wellbore interface and well productivity applied to reservoir engineering concerns.
Public :
  • Newly-hired and 2- to 3-year experienced reservoir engineers willing to deepen their knowledge in reservoir fluid properties and PVT modeling; geoscientists, petroleum engineers and production engineers moving towards reservoir engineering.

Level : Proficiency

Course Content

  • FUNDAMENTALS OF DRILLING

      • Well design. Casing program.
      • Drilling equipment and techniques.
      • Directional drilling.
      • Drilling fluids (mud).
      • Different types of rigs. Specific offshore problems.

  • FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPLETION

      • Inflow performance below bubble point pressure (IPR).
      • Additional information about skin:
      • Components of completion skin.
      • Damage skin estimation.

Learning Objectives

  • Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
  • describe main drilling equipment and operations,
  • describe main completion equipment, operations and configurations,
  • describe main concepts of reservoir-wellbore interface and choose an interface adapted to the conditions encountered in the reservoir,
  • discuss main concepts of wells productivity, included inflow, outflow and skin, detect problems holding down wells productivity and select adequate solutions.

Ways & Means

  • Interactive lectures and exercises.
