UNDERBALANCED DRILLING (UBD) WELL DESIGN
Underbalanced Drilling (UBD) provides early insights to reservoir behavior and significantly enhances both initial production rates and ultimate recovery. However, to secure the full benefits of UBD and meet all safety demands underbalanced candidate reservoirs and individual wells must be properly evaluated and designed, and drilling operations successfully executed.
Who Should Attend
This advanced course targets operating and service company managers, engineers, and supervisory personnel who are tasked with safely and cost effectively implementing and managing UBD projects.
What You Will Learn
You will gain a comprehensive grounding in UBD theory, including the principles and practical application of the technology. By the end
of the course participants will be able to design a UBD program and understand the function and limitations of applicable equipment
and related services. In addition, you will learn key project management skills required for successful project implementation, including candidate selection, feasibility studies, design, safety management, and operational practices as described in the diagram above.
Highly Qualified Instructors
Our instructors have planned and executed some of the most challenging underbalanced wells in the industry and are regarded by their peers as being at the forefront of underbalanced drilling technology.
