Well Architecture & Directional Drilling in Unconventional Wells
UARCDD-EN-P
Who should attend?
This certifying training aims to provide the necessary knowledge to plan and carry out a directional drilling (geothermal, water, storage, oil, gas), including the architecture.
Public :
This certification is intended for technicians, tool pushers, site managers, supervisors, superintendents and engineers who will be involved in oil/gas drilling operations.
Level :Knowledge
Prerequisite :
Knowledge of the drilling operations.
Blowout prevention and kick control is a plus.
