Elvee Energy Training: 04 to 08 August, 2025 / 7.00pm to 9.00pm daily on Zoom (WAT/UTC+1)
Pore pressure related operational well safety and positive petroleum results are the most important goals in the oil and gas industry. Personnel who are not skilled in formation evaluation, pore pressure monitoring and well follow up, are not considered essential operational staff. Those who are, build a formidable career in this in-depth task, and continually optimize operational efficiency. This training is for candidates seeking to meet these goals.
Skills to be acquired during the training are:
PREDRILL: PORE PRESSURE AND FRACTURE GRADIENT PREDICTION – PROGNOSIS
* Geopressures and Oil & Gas Trapping: Expected Petroleum Results and Well Safety
* Pressure Gradient (PG), Overburden Gradient (OBG), Fracture Gradient (FG)
* Shear Strength, Minimum Principal Stress, LOT/FIT and Extended Leak of Tests
* Hydrostatic Pressure, Buoyancy and Centroid Effect, Hydrocarbon Column Height
* Overpressure and Underpressure, Pressure Transition, Balance and Underbalance Drilling
* Equiv. Mud Weight (EMW), Equiv. Static Density (ESD) Equiv. Circulating Density (ECD)
* Well Profile: Well Plan, Well Architecture, Deviation Survey, Mud Program and Reservoir Tops
REAL-TIME PP & FG SURVEILLANCE: EARLY KICK DETECTION – ACTUAL
* Pit Level: Mud Pit and Trip Tank Monitoring, Flow Check, Gains and Losses
* Drilling Parameters: Flow, ROP, Torque, Stand Pipe Pressure, WHP, TempOUT, DensOUT
* Role of Mudlogging, Mud Properties, Mud Engineering and Fluid Supervision
* Drilling Exponent, Corrected Dexp, Normal Compaction Trend, Density Sampling
* Gas While Drilling (GWD): Ratios and Plots, Gas Type, Peaks and Responses
* Logging While Drilling (LWD): Resistivity, Sonic, Neutron-Density and Pretest
* Mud Return, Rheology, Cavings and Well Stability, Extended Reach Wells
WELL FOLLOW UP: APPLICATIONS AND MANAGEMENT – PROGNOSIS VERSUS ACTUAL
* Cross Correlations between Predictions and Observations (Prog. Vs Actual)
* Drilling Trajectory Follow Up, Time Plots, Costing and Operational Efficiency
* Narrow Drilling Window, Losses, Ballooning, and Pressure Coupling
* Kick Tolerance / MAASP, Kick, Kill Mud, Chock and Kill Lines
* Well Control: BOP, SCR, SIDPP, SICP, HCR, Hard and Soft Shut-in & Killing the Well
* Post Mortem: Lessons and Group Practice on Case Studies
