Learning Level
Introductory
Course Length
2.5 days
Why Attend
The number of directional wells is growing every year, and many of these are being drilled in more challenging oilfield environments. If your goal is to maximize drilling performance while minimizing the inherent risks involved with directional drilling; as well as to meet geological objectives, this course is for you.
Who Attends
Directional drilling managers/engineers, drilling and petroleum managers/engineers, drilling contractors, service company engineers and personnel, including rig crews, drillers, rig managers, drilling supervisors, superintendents, project managers, and procurement and those involved in any aspect of Oil and Gas drilling activities.
CEUs
2 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) are awarded for this 2.5-day course.
