HSSE-SR: Work as Imagined vs. Work as Done

Want to be notified when this class adds more dates?

The focus of this presentation will be to provide highlights regarding the drilling contractor/operator relationship. As exemplified at Macondo, the operator and drilling contractor must actively work to bridge the gap between work-as-imagined (WAI) in the drilling program and work-as-done (WAD) by the well operations crew.

Multi-Disc to Increasing Production in Organic Shales

Want to be notified when this class adds more dates?

Drilling horizontal wells is the common mode of operation for field development in permeability-challenged unconventional reservoirs such as organic shale. Assumptions are made regarding the homogeneity of the reservoir as wells are drilled away from the vertical pilot well. It is assumed that the reservoir characteristics remain uniform and also that the structure is known to remain in a constant orientation based on the dip information...

Const Hole-Size Perforating Unconventional Reservoirs

Want to be notified when this class adds more dates?

The desired result of perforating has always been to establish effective communication between the wellbore and the producing formation. In the past, the design focus for perforators has been on either increasing the depth of penetration or enlarging the hole size. The need for effective perforating schemes in horizontal unconventional wells has driven the development of new, enhanced perforating systems geared specifically toward hole-size...

Data Analytics Initiative

Want to be notified when this class adds more dates?

Big Data as a business paradigm has impacted and transformed many industry verticals. Upstream oil and gas industry has been slow in adopting value creation through Big Data, while it claims to have ‘lots of data’ in its silos. To decrease the cost of supply and leverage the voice of the oilfield is critical for E&P industry, if it wants to be part of the Industry 4.0 revolution. This requires that E&P industry becomes agile in Big Data...

Values of Single Pt Stimulation Utilizing Coiled Tubing

Want to be notified when this class adds more dates?

Today, E&P companies are being challenged more than ever before to improve economic performance. Since completions are the largest cost for multistage completions it is imperative to improve cycle time and maximize production results. A new approach to multistage completions combines predictable and verifiable frac spacing and propped volume with recorded bottomhole pressures and temperatures to enable operators to progressively optimize...

Is the Oil Ind Paying Enough Attn to Process Safety?

Want to be notified when this class adds more dates?

In this presentation we discuss the case histories of some major accidents. We discuss the industry’s efforts to develop performance indicators for process safety and ongoing efforts to promote process safety. We also discuss the similarities and differences between occupational safety and process safety. A key concept in this presentation is to demonstrate that successful management of one does not necessarily assure management of...
