With increased drilling complexity and the rise of multi-well pads, effective directional well planning and collision avoidance have become critical. Energy professionals must ensure safe drilling operations while maximizing resource recovery. This course is designed to bridge the gap between theory and field application, giving participants a solid foundation in trajectory planning, wellbore positioning, and collision risk mitigation techniques.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of directional drilling and well trajectory design

  
  

• Interpret survey data and apply directional drilling calculations

  
  

• Plan directional wells aligned with geological and operational objectives

  
  

• Perform anti-collision analysis and manage separation factors

  
  

• Use industry standards (e.g., ISCWSA) and software for well planning

  
  

• Mitigate collision risks in high-density and complex drilling environments

This course will be delivered through interactive online sessions, blending theory with hands-on exercises. It includes:

• Instructor-led presentations

  
  

• Real-world case studies and field examples

  
  

• Software demonstrations and guided calculations

  
  

• Group discussions and Q&A sessions

  
  

• Practical assignments to reinforce learning

Organizations that invest in this training can expect to:

• Enhance safety and reduce the risk of costly well collisions

  
  

• Improve planning efficiency and operational decision-making

  
  

• Optimize wellbore placement for better reservoir contact

  
  

• Support multi-disciplinary collaboration between drilling, geology, and reservoir teams

  
  

• Increase confidence in executing complex well plans

Participants will gain:

• Practical skills in directional well design and trajectory analysis

  
  

• Confidence in handling real-life directional drilling challenges

  
  

• Ability to perform anti-collision assessments
