• ERD and highly deviated candidate wells
• Understanding challenges and limitations
• Calculating important parameters
• Understanding Drilling/Tubular run challenges and solutions

By the end of this RECTUS training course, participants will learn to:

• Improve understanding of high angle drilling
• Gain confidence in an engineering approach to drilling
• Be able to explain why certain practices worked (or didn’t work) on previous wells
• Be able to anticipate when (and why) different techniques may be required on future wells
• Experience fewer problems on future wells

This RECTUS training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit: 

• Drilling and Completion Engineers
• Drilling and Completion Supervisors
• Drilling Managers
• Technical support personnel
• Subsurface teams
• Project Managers

This RECTUS training course on Extended Reach Drilling will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The training course is highly interactive and participative. The training course will be based on interactive exercises and case studies drawn from a wide range of countries and situations. Delegates to this RECTUS training course will be provided with training materials.
