COURSE OVERVIEW
The aim of this course is to provide the skills needed to focus on methods to drill in sections with narrow mud window where conventional drilling is not possible. The techniques and technologies which are going to be discussed will cover both onshore and offshore drilling and cementing operations. Managed pressure drilling, control mud level, and riser-less mud recovery (top-hole) are technologies that help to drill problematic zones throughout narrow mud window sections and also help to drill each section more efficiently and longer. The outcome of using mentioned methods will reduce NPT (reducing carbon footprint) and save operation costs.
