Beginning: For expert engineers, unraveling any craft and making it your domain of influence or experience takes years of learning and practical skill application. Likewise, in oil well exploration and drilling to access oil and natural gas reservoirs, there are bound to be several challenges and obstacles to reaching the desired spot. Extended-reach wells and drilling are two terms that complement each other. Let’s find out more below.
Introduction: Drilling for oils or minerals deeply embedded underground can challenge the sharpest eye of a trained engineer. And without consistent training or regular skill refreshment and appraisal, on the latest technologies one can become obsolete or outdated. A drilling class can be a great way to attain and integrate the latest skills.
A time when ‘bootleg’ jeans were fashionable
As a young man and recent graduate, I recall being awed and impressed in equal measure by my older, grey haired colleagues who had seemingly been everywhere whilst simultaneously doing everything, all at once. I remember vividly a conversation in which an older contract drilling engineer, who was working for one our clients, telling me that he planned to continue working until he was 70 years old. To a 23-year-old me, it seemed like madness.
Introduction: Technically speaking, several risks are associated with all drilling formats, whether ERD, MPD, geothermal, or complex wells. As an engineering form, drilling also helps deliver several key advantages and benefits. And so, it becomes a critical appraisal and evaluation of cost benefit analysis.
