Program Professional Framework
Advanced Drilling Technology Techniques & Optimization
Program Overview
New drilling technologies only deliver value when they are selected for the right application and run with optimised parameters. This course reviews the technologies reshaping well construction and how to get the most from them: rotary steerable systems and high-performance motors, MWD and LWD, managed pressure drilling, casing and liner drilling, drilling automation and wired drill pipe, real-time operations centres, and data-driven parameter optimisation using mechanical specific energy and drilling dynamics. Each topic is framed by application screening, risk, cost-benefit and the performance data needed to judge success in Gulf land and offshore wells.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants select one technology for a planned field campaign, screen candidate wells, define the trial plan and success metrics, estimate costs and expected savings, and present a recommendation with risks and an optimisation approach.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
