Understanding advanced
drilling techniques
Aims
The course is ideal for industry professionals who wish to expand
their knowledge of the following Advanced Drilling Techniques
(ADT):

Coil Tubing Drilling (CTD)

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD)

Underbalanced Drilling (UBD)

Through Tubing Drilling (TTRD)

This independent course explains how these technologies can help

overcome drilling issues and maximise potential economic returns
in depleted and brown fields. Participants gain a unique insight into
advanced drilling techniques through the practical integration of
theory and actual drilling data, reinforced by the extensive use of
real case studies from throughout the world.
Who Should Attend?
Benefits Well engineers, reservoir engineers, production and completion
The participants will gain an appreciation of: engineers, and other industry professionals eager to enhance their
practical understanding of advanced drilling techniques.

Joy Oyovwevotu is the Principal Drilling Engineer for the Advanced
HSE issues Drilling Techniques (ADT) department within Senergy. He has over
20 years operator and service company experience during which
completion philosophies
time he has held various senior drilling engineering positions
downhole equipment issues spanning well planning, design and execution both on and offshore.
surface equipment design Joy has planned and executed numerous ADT projects where he
has been responsible for a number of world and industry firsts
economics
in expanding the technical and technology envelope for drilling
and completing ADT wells. The workflows used in these projects
- from candidate selection and feasibility through to planning and
execution - provide the framework for this introductory course.
