This course provides a thorough and practical understanding of the methodology for designing a casing program.
Public :
This course is dedicated for all the professionals involved in drilling operations and interested in well architecture for Oil & Gas, geothermal and storage wells (i.e. drilling & completion engineers, mud engineers, supervisors, drilling contractor personnel).
Level :Knowledge
Prerequisite :
Participants should have knowledge in drilling engineering, wellbore geometry.
Participant should also have mathematic skills as well as mechanical concept.
