Meetings remain a boon or curse to corporate communication. Properly planned and managed, meetings are extremely positive and dynamic ways to exchange ideas, shape policy, resolve problems, effect change, etc. However, when poorly designed and implemented, meetings accomplish little. They become virtual breeding grounds for confusion, tension, frustration, boredom and negativity. This course is for petroleum industry professionals who plan and conduct meetings. 

مجموعة رائعة من المشروبات الروحية جيد وطعام رائع. كانت نادلتنا كفاءة أكثر من صغيرة إلى حد ما. يسرني أخذنا مسافة قصيرة سيراً على الأقدام من الفندق أن يمكنك الجلوس بالخارج على ليلة جميلة. مع الخيارات القليلة في هذه المنطقة، هذا إلى اختيار جيد.

This course presents a unified approach to the well design process. It is an overview of the operational sequences, from spudding the well through drilling and completion, to startup and production. Participants will learn elementary rock mechanics and a simple way to analyze borehole stability. The information is then used to design a fracture gradient curve, which serves as input to the well design process. That is followed by a discussion of the potential for optimization. During this course participants will learn about: Methods for improving borehole stability; High-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) wells; Hydraulic optimization and the interpretation of ballooning in deep wells; Deepwater, multilateral and long-reach wells; Well integrity issues with examples.

Equipment and procedures involved with drilling oil and gas wells are described for those who are interested in understanding the drilling process regardless of the academic background. In this course, the overall drilling process is presented along with definitions and descriptions of drilling equipment and various components are discussed in greater detail with explanations of the basic science concepts which guide these processes. Subjects include descriptions of drill bits, directional drilling, drilling fluids, solids control, cementing, casing, well bore stability, well control, measurement-while-drilling techniques, stuck pipe, lost circulation, and well bore hydraulics. Some technology enhancements are included to improve understanding of drilling operations for all participants, with or without a science background. An understanding of clay mineralogy helps understand well bore instability and drilling fluids. A discussion of pressure and pressure effects helps explain many of the procedures and problems associated with drilling wells. Rocks behave differently under pressure and understanding this behavior helps understand drilling performance. The art and science of drilling are explained in simple terms. 

This course provides a fundamental understanding of the science and practical applications of water treating. It presents the fundamental mechanisms behind various water treating equipment and processes. Throughout the course, field experiences, practical issues, and field performance of equipment is analyzed and explained in terms of surface science, chemistry and engineering principles. The scientific aspects of water treating are presented in a practical down-to-earth manner that can be understood with little prior study, and can be immediately implemented in the field. The full project life cycle is covered from concept selection to front end engineering, detailed design, operation, and troubleshooting.
