About the Course
This course provides advanced training in Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), covering the equipment and techniques used to drill wells with narrow pressure margins that are difficult or uneconomic to drill conventionally. It is designed for experienced drilling professionals working on complex well programs.
Participants examine MPD equipment configurations, real-time pressure monitoring practices, and the operational planning required to manage narrow-margin drilling safely. Case examples illustrate how MPD techniques reduce non-productive time and expand the range of drillable well designs.
Learning Milestones
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain MPD principles and applicable well scenarios.
- Interpret real-time pressure monitoring data.
- Contribute to an MPD operational risk plan.
- Identify MPD equipment configurations and their functions.
- Evaluate narrow-margin drilling risks.
- Compare MPD variants for different well applications.
Professional Audience
This course is ideal for experienced drilling professionals working on complex or narrow-margin wells, including:
- Drilling engineers
- MPD coordinators and specialists
- Wellsite supervisors
