Deep Well Challenges
16-18 November 2009
JW Marriott Hotel
Cairo, Egypt
Deep wells are a major challenge for drilling engineers. Most deeper prospects comprise several difficulties and unanticipated conditions that necessitate particular expertise to handle. The same well may include high pressure/high temperature (HP/HT), different pressure profiles, hard drilling formation, and borehole stability. To manage professionally such circumstances, we have to deploy carefully innovative ideas, appropriate skills, proper well planning, and special material.
This ATW will gather drilling experts from different companies to exchange information on their problems and how they were handled, case studies and lessons learned, benchmarking between comparable wells, new technologies and thier applications, economics and cost saving, and many other topics that will help companies drill better wells. All attendees are expected to share in the interactive sessions and contribute their knowledge and proficiency.
Objectives
This workshop aims to bring together drilling experts from different regions and organisations to discuss drilling-related issues, challenges, new technologies and applications, current economics and cost-saving methods that are affecting the industry. The overall goal is to ensure that companies are getting the most out of their drilling operations.
Who Should Attend
The intended audience of this workshop is drilling and completion engineers, geologists,
petrophysicsts, rig operators, drilling team leaders, and management.
