Advanced Oil & Gas Drilling and Completion Technologies -Horizontal Directional Drilling

Dec. 8, 2009 - PRLog -- Advanced Oil & Gas Drilling and Completion Technologies Training Course is an online training course offered through B.F. Environmental Consultants Inc.  The course outlines the current best practices and  modern technology has allowed for more efficiency in the search and drilling for oil and gas. Today, more resources are found using fewer wells and at the same time are drilled deeper and faster than ever before while encountering fewer dry holes.  The course covers horizontal direction drilling, multilateral drilling, synthetic muds, and MWD Technology.

A few of the technologies used today that have made drilling less costly with a higher success rate and at the same time reducing environmental impacts include the following:

Horizontal and directional drilling
Multilateral drilling
Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) drill bits
Synthetic drilling muds
Measurement-While-Drilling (MWD) technology

In this course, the student will review the sections and fact sheets covering drilling and completions from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy's publication "Environmental Benefits of Advanced Oil and Gas Exploration and Production". This course is most relevant to engineers wishing to attain knowledge on several of the advanced technologies used today in oil and gas drilling and well completion.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.

Specific Knowledge or Skill Attained
