Directional Well Planning & Anti-Collision Analysis for Energy Professionals
This course equips energy professionals with the knowledge and tools to plan directional wells effectively while managing collision risks in multi-well environments. It combines engineering principles, industry standards, and practical tools to enhance safe and optimized wellbore placement.
Description
Directional drilling is at the heart of modern well construction, especially in complex fields and high-density developments. This course offers a detailed exploration of directional well planning and anti-collision analysis, focusing on practical application using industry-proven methods and software tools.
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
