PET 0106 - Drilling And Completions

Institution:

University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Subject:

Description:

Drilling and Completion covers Composition and Properties of Drilling and Completion Fluids, and the fundamental principles of geology, chemistry, and physics that provide the scientific basis for drilling fluids technology. New material for drilling, logging, and production supervisors and engineers explains how the choice of a drilling fluid and proper maintenance can profoundly reduce total well costs. The course also defines technical terms necessary to the understanding of instructions and information provided by the mud engineers. The course discusses the introduction to drilling fluids, the development of drilling technology equipment and procedures for evaluating drilling fluids performance, clay mineralogy and colloid chemistry, rheology, filtration properties, hole stability, drilling problems, and completion fluids. Drilling technology covers directional and horizontal drilling cementing, casing and casing design, drilling fluids and well control. Completion technology covers Perforating, Stimulation, Acid and Fracing. Prerequisite: PET 0103
