This course is designed for comprehensive coverage of stuck pipe problems and resolutions. Initially, main reasons behind the stuck pipe will be discussed.
During drilling operations, a pipe can be stuck. It happen when it cannot be freed from the wellbore without destroying the pipe, and without exceeding the drilling rig’s pulling load. This 5-day course was designed to explain this problem and the plan can be deployed to solve it. This five-day course provides comprehensive coverage of stuck pipe problems and their resolution. It begins by defining stuck pipe and explaining the primary mechanisms that lead to such incidents.
During drilling operations, pipe can become stuck when it cannot be freed from the wellbore without damaging the pipe or exceeding the drilling rig’s allowable pulling capacity. This course is designed to explain the causes of stuck pipe and outline effective strategies for prevention and remediation. The program first examines the main causes of stuck pipe, followed by practical methods to prevent its occurrence. It then covers fishing operations in detail, including tools, techniques, and operational considerations. Finally, the course addresses hole cleaning processes and best practices, emphasizing their critical role in minimizing stuck pipe risks and improving overall drilling performance.

Jerry Rusnak has more than 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, spanning service, supply, operations, and academia. He began his career as a wireline field engineer before joining an independent exploration and production company as a field engineer, where he managed wellsite drilling, completion, and workover operations. He subsequently advanced to the role of Drilling and Completion Manager, overseeing multiple simultaneous drilling and completion projects across U.S. onshore operations. By the end of his 15-year tenure, he was serving as the company’s Exploration and Production Manager. During this period, the company experienced significant growth, and its E&P division was eventually sold to a major independent operator. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Ocean Engineering from Florida Atlantic University. He is an active member and past Section President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and holds, or is eligible to hold, the major certifications required for wellsite operations both onshore and offshore.
