Pre-Drill Risk in High Pressure Wells is a one day workshop is designed to provide the context for pore pressure and fracture gradient predictions and will focus on how to capture the geological uncertainty in a way which allows operations and engineering professionals to maintain focus on the ‘expected’ outcome of the well whilst simultaneously planning for ‘unlikely but possible’ outcomes.

The Pressure Data for Exploration Success course will help students develop the link between theory and practice. Extensive use is made of data from areas such as the North Sea, SE Asia and the Gulf of Mexico to identify lateral drainage and hydrodynamic reservoirs and to evaluate seal breach risking.

A 2 day HPHT Narrow Drilling Margins course which covers HPHT conditions and their prediction, the data components required for well planning and issues which influence successful drilling in such conditions, and their cost implications. Ideal if you are involved in well-planning or work in environments where HPHT and/or narrow drilling margin conditions are likely.
