PetroTeach offers the 5 days course to build up foundation and a basis for understanding the drilling and well construction operations. Basic equipment and procedures involved with drilling are reviewed regardless of academic background. Directional drilling aspects introducing directional wells as well as horizontal and extended reach wells will be discussed.
The first day of the course by introduction of the drilling engineering, geology and reservoirs associated with the oil and gas industry. The planning process of a well costs, contracts, services, logistics and safety aspects of the drilling operations required to get a well design completed will be discussed in the second day. The third day will be associated to drilling fluids and hydraulics in a well. The course will then presents directional drilling aspects introducing directional wells as well as horizontal and extended reach wells will be discussed. The fourth day of the course introduces casing and cementing as well as the evaluation with logging and coring before introducing the drilling challenges such as losses, kicks and stuck pipe. The last day of the course starts with an introduction to well control followed by how to complete a well. The last item for discussion will be repairing a well.

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.
This course is in the basic level and is intended for personnel associated and involved with the drilling and well construction operations. This course is suitable for logistics staff, HR, contracts, finance, Legal, IT and the other support services involved in oil and gas operations
Basic
The participants will learn and understand:
o Understand of drilling process from geology, selection of a drilling location, well design, and rig types.
o Gain a basic understanding of geology, reservoirs, process of exploration and exploitation a reservoir
o Gain a basic understanding of geology, reservoirs, process of exploration and exploitation a reservoir
o Understand a well design process, rig types, rig systems, drilling tools, bitts and drill string, drilling fluids and directional drilling
