DIRECTIONAL & SECURE DRILLING SERVICES:

The current economic climate is making it increasingly vital that drilling-related expenditure is reduced. Consistent innovations in drilling tools and technologies provide new hope in advancing drilling techniques, however, learning about their varying applications and limitations is integral to reduce unnecessary expenditure and ensure high completions recovery.

The mission of Horizontal Drilling, Tight Oil Plays, Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin is to explore current and new tools and technologies by uniting the key decision makers of the leading E&P companies to share knowledge and experiences, and pave the way for further innovation.

Day one will start by delving into innovations in drilling mud design to discover how to reduce torque, drag and fluid loss whilst effectively cleaning the wellbore. The vital issue of cost-effectively disposing of drill cuttings as per environmental regulations will also be explored. Day one willthen focus on assessing the balance between landing and staying in the target zone and maintaining wellbore integrity by scrutinizing and comparing the cost-benefit of directional tools including specific focus on rotary steerable tools, conventional tools, bottom-hole assemblies, drill bits, and MWD/LWD tools to analyze what factors ultimately affect decisions.

Day two will start with a look at underbalanced and managed pressure drilling methods to learn their current applications in different formations. The day will go on to assess current and new well designs to examine how the use of casing, multi-well pads and multilaterals might allow production to reach previously inconceivable levels. The capabilities of different completions assemblies will then be discussed to ascertain when packers or cementing might lead to the most productivity cementing best practices and how ball-drop liners can enhance the completion process. At the end of day two, rig designs will be scrutinized with a particular focus on new and emerging designs to discover the applications of rig specifications in ever-innovative well designs.
