Introduction to Drilling and Completion and Well Intervention (CWI)

The drilling and CWI discipline is a very specialized field, with a lot of unique and dedicated equipment. The technology is difficult to understand as it happens underground and can only be imagined. For young, new and/or staff from support departments there is a lot value added to have an introduction to and get better background understanding of the technologies.

• Understanding the drilling process, its risks, difficulties and terminology
• Understanding the Well Intervention process, why it needs to be performed, risk, terminology, difficulties and effects on Unit Technical Cost
• Understand the drilling process
• Understand the terminology used, names of material and equipment
• Understand the need and requirement of WRM, cost of regrets, economics of intervention
• Understand the terminology used, names of material and equipment
• Discuss well design and construction to create a “integer” well with lowest Unit Technical Cost
• Develop sufficient understanding of the full selection process of a well, the design, complication during construction
• Develop the need for Well and Reservoir Maintenance (WRM) in design and execution
• Appreciate the planning and execution of drilling wells and well interventions
