Managed Pressure Drilling & Cementing and Digital Solution
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of managed pressure drilling (MPD) and cementing operations enhanced by modern digital technologies. Participants will learn how to use real-time data, automation, and predictive analytics to improve drilling safety, optimize pressure control, and achieve better cementing results.
Description
This course introduces participants to the advanced concepts and practical applications of Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and Cementing technologies, and the emphasis on digital integration.
It covers the evolution of MPD techniques, operation, and design such as Back Pressure MPD, Controlled Mud Level (CML), Dual Gradient Drilling (DGD), and their role in optimizing wellbore design, reducing non-productive time, reducing cost, and enhancing safety.
Drilling in complex and high-pressure environments demands precision, control, and adaptability. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) has become a key enabler for maintaining wellbore stability, reducing non-productive time, and improving safety margins. When coupled with advanced cementing practices and digital monitoring systems, MPD transforms the way wells are planned and executed.
This course equips participants with the knowledge and tools to design and implement MPD and cementing operations that leverage digital technologies for performance optimization, reduced risks, and improved well integrity.
This course aims to provide the skills needed to focus on Managed Pressure Drilling in onshore and offshore and top-hole sections, including Back Pressure MPD, Control Mud Level, and Dual Gradient Drilling systems.
In this course, the technologies mentioned will be explained in detail with respect to the design, planning, equipment, and methods for operation.
At the end of the course, the method related to managed pressure cementing and PMCD (Pressurized Mud Cap Drilling) and CMCD (Controlled Mud Cap Drilling) will be covered as well.
The course blends interactive lectures, real-life case studies, and digital simulation exercises to reinforce key concepts. Participants will explore field data and engage in group discussions to bridge theory with field application. Emphasis is placed on practical problem-solving and data-driven decision-making.
