Curso de Managed Pressure Drilling - Nivel Avanzado

El objetivo del curso es suministrar las herramientas para el diseño, ingeniería y ejecución de proyectos MPD para personal de Nabors Drilling con responsabilidades de diseño y ejecución. El entrenamiento destacará características de perforación y problemas de tiempos no productivos que conllevan a la selección de una o más de las variantes disponibles de Managed Pressure Drilling.

• Se discutirán sistemas de fluidos para MPD, requerimientos de equipos, y el impacto potencial en el diseño del pozo.
• Al finalizar el entrenamiento, los participantes tendrán una buena apreciación de las diferentes tecnologías de MPD, así como dónde y cómo pueden ser aplicadas.
• Los participantes serán capaces de estimar el valor agregado potencial de aplicar MPD a los pozos candidatos y estarán en capacidad de aplicar conceptos específicos de MPD en térnimos de diseño y de seguridad, especificar equipos, y contribuir a los aspectos relevantes a MPD en un diseño o en un programa de perforación.

The objective of this “Advanced CCUS Well Engineering and Design” course is to provide engineers with a strong and fundamental grounding in the design considerations and methods used when designing wells that are dedicated to carbon sequestration (underground storage).

The objective of this “Advanced CCUS Well Engineering and Design” course is to provide engineers with a strong and fundamental grounding in the design considerations and methods used when designing wells that are dedicated to carbon sequestration (underground storage).

The aims of the course are to provide knowledge to underpin the selection, screening, engineering, and execution of MPD projects across global Business Units. The course will highlight drilling characteristics and nonproductive time problems that drive consideration, and ultimately either rejection or selection of one or more of the available variants of managed pressure drilling technology.

• The course explains the advantages, disadvantages and key considerations when evaluating and selecting MPD candidates.
• Participants learn about MPD fluid systems, equipment requirements, and the potential impact of an existing well design and the potential to change well design.
• By the end of the course, participants will have a good overview of the various MPD technologies, as well as where and how they can be applied.
• They will be able to estimate the value MPD potentially adds to candidate wells. They will be made aware of and learn how to address MPD specific safety and well design concerns, specify equipment, and understand and contribute to the MPD related parts of a drilling program.

The objective of this customized “Advanced Casing and Tubing Design” course is to provide engineers with a strong and fundamental grounding in the advanced mechanics of tubulars as applied to casing and tubing design. Some of the key areas covered in the course include:

• Working Stress Design (WSD) and Reliability Based Design (RBD) for casing and tubing. 
• Advanced strength theories including the ISO TR 10400 and API TR 5C3 limit states 
• Probabilistic design approaches and their application to OCTG; Probabilistic design approaches in ISO TR 10400 and API TR 5C3. 
• Design and selection of connections, with emphasis on ISO 13679 / API 5C5 approach to connection testing and performance envelopes 
• Materials selection and fracture mechanics-based criteria for sour design (including ISO TR 10400 / API TR 5C3 and API 579 brittle failure limits) 
• Special problems in casing and tubing design, including buckling, casing wear, APB and its mitigation, wellhead movement and forces, HPHT considerations. 
• Hand calculation and visualization of design loads and strengths, in order to appreciate the physics of the design process 
• Case studies of previous Woodside projects to illustrate key concepts learned during the formal sessions 

Numerous examples are used to illustrate the design process. Blade provides a suite of spreadsheet tools that will be used in the course.
