Drill String Design Training Course

This is a three day course designed to take Engineers up to the level where they can confidently perform a hand calculation based design of a drill string. This will give a good understanding in interpreting the outputs of torque and drag software. Topics covered include vertical and deviated well string design, selection of BHA to provide the required WOB, selection of HWDP and DP and calculations required to check the string can withstand loads and fatigue resistance checks. The course involved a number of calculations that are also useful for understanding string loading in stuckpipe cases and situations where buckling is likely to occur
