Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD)

Description

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) offers opportunities to improve safety and efficiency in drilling, and it is increasingly recognized by operators and regulators. MPD aims to cost effectively resolve chronic drilling problems that contribute to non-productive time.

This 3 full-day course provides participants with an understanding of the MPD techniques and equipment. The course starts with the design requirements for an MPD operation. It covers all MPD methods, including constant bottom hole pressure and mud cap drilling operations. It also includes all of the rig types – both onshore and offshore – and MPD. MPD equipment is presented in detail and the design aspects of the well are also examined.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

This course aims to provide participants with a good understanding of the various aspects of managed pressure drilling. It also enables participants to gain knowledge of planning MPD operations, type of equipment and the equipment requirements for both onshore and offshore and MPD operations. At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is designed for engineers, managers and service providers who are about to use MPD techniques and are trying to better understand the associated complexities and challenges surrounding MPD.
