This 3-Days course is designed for drilling operational staff and drilling engineers. The course provides a comprehensive treatment of drill string design as well as the avoidance of operational problems and wear on equipment following the API recommended practices for design and operating limitations as well as the standard DS1 for design and inspection. Day 1 starts with refreshing the engineering fundamentals and developing a sound understanding of the practical aspects and necessary considerations for design. These elements are put into practice and reinforced with a range of classroom exercises to consolidate the learning.On the second and third days, the emphasis is on practical engineering calculations and safe operating procedures. Industry standards are used as training aids to supplement the presentation material and provide a thorough understanding of the subject.
The course will start with basic engineering concepts leading to the properties of steel, Hooke's Law, and Thermal Stress. Participants will gain knowledge about axial forces and buckling in submerged tubulars with practical exercises. Participants will also learn about the manufacturing process of Drill Pipe including connections and make up torque. A review of the Drill String dynamics, BHA components, design factors and limitations including BHA applicability in directional wells, stabilization principles, and effects of stiffness and WOB will be discussed. Types of damage which may occur during operations and handling will be discussed. Detailed review of tables, curves and technical data of DS-1 will be followed by fatigue design, overload cases and class exercises.
