COURSE OVERVIEW
The basic applications and techniques for multilateral wells will be covered and participants will receive instructions on planning and evaluating horizontal wells based on the objectives of the horizontal well, and how to perform the proper planning for directional and horizontal well. In addition, this PetroTeach training course will cover how to predict wellbore path based on historical data and determine the requirements to hit the target, and help solve related problems.
