Training Course Overview
As oil and gas exploration advances into more complex geological settings, traditional drilling methods often fall short in addressing unpredictable pressure conditions and challenges with formation integrity. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) has become a crucial technology, enabling operators to effectively control annular pressure profiles, minimize non-productive time, and improve safety and efficiency in high-risk wells. This Advancements in Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) Technologies and Operational Practices training course provides technical professionals with a comprehensive understanding of MPD principles, equipment, operational procedures, and real-world applications. Through in-depth analysis and case studies, participants will develop the expertise required to plan, operate, and troubleshoot MPD systems in both onshore and offshore environments.
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles, classifications, and benefits of MPD
- Identify and operate key components of MPD systems
- Analyze pressure profiles and determine correct pressure control strategies
- Apply MPD techniques to mitigate common drilling hazards (kicks, loss circulation, etc.)
- Evaluate the economic and operational feasibility of MPD in field operations
Designed for
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Drilling Engineers
- Well Control Engineers
- Rig Supervisors and Toolpushers
- Wellsite Operations Engineers
- Mud Engineers and Pressure Control Technicians
- Technical specialists involved in complex or HPHT well planning
Learning Methods
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes an interactive mixture of lecture-led learning & group discussions.
