Directional Drilling and Surveying

Course Objective

• Make survey calculations
• Interpret TVD, polar and rectangular coordinates, and vertical section
• Interpret dogleg severity and the problems associated with dogleg severity
• Plan a two-dimensional directional well
• Plan horizontal wells based on the objectives of the well
• Determine the best multi-lateral completion for an application
• Determine declination and non-magnetic drilling collar selection
• Apply the best survey instrument for the job
• Directionally drill with rotary BHAs, jetting, whipstocks, motor, steerable motors, and rotary steerable systems
• Drill horizontally underbalanced
• Interpret torque and drag and determine what factors will affect the torque and drag
• Determine cementing requirements for directional wells
