Deepwater drilling is the process of creating a borehole using a drilling rig for oil production under the deep sea. The required technology is advanced. Besides that, problems are more challenging compared to ordinary drilling. This 5-day course tends to address different aspects of deepwater drilling.

Deepwater drilling is the process of creating a borehole using a drilling rig for oil production under the deep sea. The required technology is advanced. Besides that, problems are more challenging compared to ordinary drilling. This 5-day course tends to address different aspects of deepwater drilling.
The course discusses the fundamentals of deepwater drilling. In this regard, initially, some basic issues regarding deepwater drilling are presented. Then, the required equipment for this process is discussed. Next, tubular design, cementing and underlying problems are stated. In the next day, various aspects need to be considered for a safe well control system to be explained. Finally, new adaptive technologies and abandonment systems are elaborated.

Peter Aird C.Eng, CmarEng, FIMarEST, has 40 years’ experience as a drilling, well engineering and operations specialist. Peter worked in Shell International from 1980-1987 as a drilling supervisor, where he then worked in staff-based positions from 1987-1993 with Shell & BP. He then developed further knowledge and experience working in global consultancy positions from 1993-2005 in Deepwater, HPHT, Exploration and Appraisal Frontiers and Deepwater Horizontal development drilling and more complex well’s projects. Areas worked included: South East Asia (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, China), North Atlantic, West of Britain, Norway, Faeroes, Greenland, the Black Sea, South Atlantic, Europe Mediterranean, Red Sea and West Africa. From 2005 Peter was employed in senior staff, consultant and advisory based specialist drilling engineering leadership roles with operating companies including Kerr McGee, Maersk & Marathon Oil, Cairn Energy (UK), ONGC (India), Centrica (Norway), and Providence Resources (Ireland). Drilling specialties further refined on a variety of subsea, horizontal, platform in-fill, HPHT, deep and ultra-deep water drilling projects.
Persons engaged in deep-water or complex well’s drilling projects; in well design, engineering, operational or organizational functions such as admin, technical, finance, QHSE, logistics, services, support, drilling, geology, geo-science, petroleum, reservoir, completions, workover and production.
