This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) techniques and equipment. The program begins with an overview of the history and development of MPD, followed by a review of the various MPD techniques currently applied in the industry. It then addresses the fundamental pressure concepts in a well, ensuring participants develop a clear understanding of the pressure regimes managed during MPD operations. The course introduces the design requirements for an MPD operation, including detailed discussions on well design considerations and MPD equipment. A thorough overview of the different MPD variations and their specific applications is provided, along with the associated well design implications. In the final part of the course, participants examine MPD surface equipment in detail for land, offshore, and deepwater drilling operations. The program also covers the operational aspects of MPD, including initiating MPD, drilling, tripping, running casing, and cementing. Well control considerations specific to MPD operations are discussed to ensure a clear understanding of safety and risk management within MPD environments.

Steve Nas holds a Master’s degree in Drilling Engineering from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and has accumulated more than 40 years of experience in drilling engineering. He began his career in 1977 as a mud logger with Geoservices before becoming a wellsite drilling engineer in 1980. He initially worked on rigs across the Middle East and Africa, and later joined Shell in the UK North Sea. In the mid-1990s, Steve became heavily involved in coiled tubing and underbalanced drilling operations, and subsequently in managed pressure drilling. After obtaining his Master’s degree in the late 1990s, he began teaching well engineering and has since delivered numerous courses at various levels, including to MSc students. He has also developed a wide range of specialized training programs in drilling and well engineering. Currently working as an independent consultant, Steve provides well engineering training courses and offshore coaching, particularly on technically challenging wells.
This course is intended for the disciplines listed below, as well as anyone with a specific interest in the topic:
o Drilling Engineers
o Drilling Contractor Supervisory
o Personnel Service Providers
o Other Relevant Technical and Operational Staff
o Intermediate
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Objectives of this course are to provide the participants with a good understanding of the various aspects of managed pressure drilling. The participants will gain knowledge of planning MPD operations and gain knowledge of the equipment and the equipment requirements for both onshore, offshore and deepwater MPD operations.
