About this Training Course Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) offers opportunities to improve safety and efficiency in drilling, and it is increasingly recognised 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: Understand the variations in MPD Design MPD operations for various techniques Understand the engineering requirements of MPD Define MPD equipment requirements Understand operational and well control aspects of MPD 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.

CRAFT EXPERIENCE DAY Immerse yourself in a day of crafting! Saturday 13th September – 10am till 4pm at H1 Building, Hill of Rubislaw, Aberdeen. Suitable for complete beginners (adults & teens). The Glass Needle, The Green Boat and Snap, Crackle & Pip are hosting another FULL DAY WORKSHOP, where you will try 3 separate crafts – Fused Glass, Needle Felting and Water Based Eco-Resin. You will learn how to make Fused Glass Suncatchers, Needle Felted Fruit, and Eco-Resin Egg Dishes. We will provide you with all the materials and any equipment required. PRICE: £94 per person PARKING/BUS: CAR: Free Parking // BUS: 5 min walk from both Kings Gate and Queens Road. ..... T&Cs Please note that workshops are non refundable, however you are welcome to give your place to someone else. If the workshop is cancelled by the organisers an alternative date will be arranged or a full refund issued.
This workshop gives you the unique opportunity to experience the basics of two crafts in 1 day in your own personal pairs workshop with one to one tuition. The studios are located in the cottage garden of our home on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk border. Your experience is private to you and there will be no other students in the studios. The "2 crafts in 1 day" workshop is aimed at those who want to have a go at both of these fun crafts, and come away having learnt some basic techniques for both disciplines. As this is basically a private tuition experience, the course is focused but fun, so would make a fantastic gift. The day can also be experienced by just 1 person (to book this, please refer to our other workshop ""2 Crafts in 1 Day!" 1-2-1 woodturning & pottery experience in 1 day for 1 person" where each person could experience the crafts singularly or together. This makes for a wonderful Valentine's or anniversary experience, and can also be enjoyed by a parent and child. The morning is spent learning the ropes of woodturning - how to cut and shape wood on the lathe, understanding a little about the different tools required, and making a few pieces to take home. After a light farmhouse-style lunch (which we provide and which we tailor to your dietary requirements), the afternoon then continues with a pottery session. Students can have fun with clay, focusing on some basic hand building methods to get them used to handling the material using the techniques of pinching, coiling, slab building and also throwing on the wheel. A total of 3 pieces can then be chosen for us to glaze and fire once they have dried sufficiently. When ready, they can either be collected by the student (if they live locally) or I can post them on (I have to charge postage & packaging). Refreshments are provided during both workshops, and a light, rustic farmhouse-style lunch is also included - catering to all dietary requirements. Depending on the weather/time of year, lunch can be taken either out in the cottage garden or in our country kitchen. The sessions are hands-on with expert 1-2-1 tuition - and the student will be able to use all the studio facilities. Each student will also be provided with a certificate of participation for both crafts. About a week before your workshop date, we'll e-mail you again with more details about parking etc. We also offer accommodation in the form of our Crafter's Retreat cabin (www.craftersretreat.co.uk) or we can advise of other local B&Bs.
