Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) Design and Execution Programme

Tech Centre EnerTech Lab Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) Design and Execution Programme

Programme Overview

This programme addresses the mechanical and hydraulic limits of ERD, focusing on torque/drag management, cuttings transport in long sections, and RSS technology. Participants will learn to model "drillability" of complex trajectories and manage risks of high equivalent circulating density (ECD) in long-stepout wells.

Programme Benefits Programme Modules ADGM Academy ADGM Academy Certificate of Completion Five Days
Programme Benefits
Access remote reservoir targets and maximise drainage area through advanced ERD techniques.
Manage torque and drag constraints through selection of premium tubulars and lubricant systems.
Ensure effective hole cleaning in record-length horisontal sections using optimised flow rates.
Maintain wellbore within optimal reservoir window through high-precision geosteering and RSS technology.
Who is the Programme for?

This programme is for senior drilling engineers responsible for complex, high-angle, or long-offset drilling projects.
