COURSE OVERVIEW
The aim of this course is to provide the skills needed to focus on the new technology (wired pipe system and its accessories) and use it for transferring a high amount of information from the downhole and along the string to the surface in real-time. Sending and receiving information via Wired Pipe will help to detect faults and symptoms downhole and mitigate issues in real-time. Also, it will help all the drilling services perform more accurately and remotely while drilling and during operation. In this course, different drilling services (like control mud level system, directional drilling and etc.) and the connection to wired pipe will be discussed.
