A comprehensive course on one of the most used unconventional drilling techniques. Some of the benefits associated with MPD include low mud weights to control ECD, elimination of casing strings & real time formation evaluation, HPHT & unconventional plays. The course offers an excellent structure using reservoir, hydraulics, production and drilling engineering concepts with which the participants will appreciate an overall picture before designing well sections
MANAGED PRESSURE DRILLING & WELL CONTROL DYNAMICS
The only course in the industry that truly teaches how to design an MPD wel
Introduction
How is this course different?
- Unlike other courses, this course will actually teach you to design an MPD well using G&G, reservoir, production & drilling engineering concepts
- Teaching style is a mixture of both critical engineering & operations
- The instructor is a veteran of both service/consulting and operating companies
- Hands on exercises on one of the most trusted & used software to design UBD and MPD wells

I was always mixed up with the terms UBD & MPD, although the name is the same to some degree but the application can be this different I never gathered. Great course

Viking International Turkey
Loved the way when we solved an MPD well using hand calculations before getting on to the software. It was so simple I never imagined
