The course provides a comprehensive treatment of drill string design as well as the avoidance of operational problems and wear on equipment following the API recommended practices for design and operating limitations as well as the standard DS1 for design and inspection. BHA design concepts are investigated, with emphasis on practical engineering calculations and safe operating procedures. Industry standards are used as training aids to supplement the presentation material and provide a thorough understanding of drill string components, designs, operating limits, inspection and working practices.
On the first day, participants will have an overview of the learning objectives during the course. The day will continue on to discuss topics such as the properties of steel, Hook’s Law, and Thermal Stress. Participants will gain knowledge about axial force and buckling in submerged tubulars, ended with a practical exercise. On the second day, participants will have a detailed analysis of the complete manufacture of the Drill Pipe process that will be reviewed including connections & make up torque. During the day multiple exercises will complement the theory part.
On the third day, BHA components, properties, design factors, and limitations including a BHA applicability in directional wells, stabilization principles and effects of stiffness, formation Dip, hole washout, and WOB, Day will end with a revision of drillstring dynamics.
In days 4 and 5, In the final day participants will learn about types of damage during operations and handling. Detail analysis of tables, curves, and technical data of DS-1 will be followed by fatigue design, overload cases, and class exercises.
