Content

The course provides detailed knowledge in various drilling/production phase-related problems (well integrity) including detection and solution methods, drilling systems, subsea technology, drillstring/tubing/casing mechanics and engineering designs based on various load cases, rheology, hydraulics, hole cleaning, well control design, advanced drilling methods (MPD/UBO), material testing, materials and material selection, and corrosion and coating technologies.

Adjustments to the plan may occur including elements like cementing and drill string dysfunctionalities (vibration) and control methods.
