This course provides participants with an understanding of managed pressure drilling techniques and equipment. The course starts with the design requirements for an MPD operation. MPD equipment is presented in detail and the design aspects of the well are presented. The course commences with the history and the various managed pressure drilling techniques that are applied. The pressure aspects in a well are presented ensuring a good understanding of the pressures that are managed with MPD operations. The second day of the course introduces a detailed overview of the variations of managed pressure drilling. The well design aspects of managed pressure drilling are presented. This last day of the course starts with a detailed review at the MPD surface equipment both for land, offshore and deepwater drilling operations. The participants are exposed to MPD operations from initiating MPD to drilling, tripping, running casing and cementing operations. The well control aspects of MPD are presented.

Steve Nas holds master degree in drilling engineering from the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and has accumulated over 40 years of drilling engineering experience. Steve started in 1977 as a mud logger with Geoservices before becoming a wellsite drilling engineer in 1980. Initially working rigs as a wellsite drilling engineer around the Middle East and throughout Africa before working for Shell in the UK North Sea. In the mid 1990’s became heavily involved in coiled tubing and underbalanced drilling and later into managed pressure drilling. He has been teaching well engineering since obtaining his master’s degree in the late 1990’s and has taught numerous courses at all levels including MSc students and developed a large number of training courses. Now working as an independent consultant he provides a number of well engineering related courses and offshore coaching on challenging wells
