This is a comprehensive course designed for petroleum engineers to familiarize with the benefits and design of horizontal and multilateral well technology. The topics selected for this course include almost all key details of drilling and completion of horizontal and multilateral wells, such as: planning, drilling, surveying, tubular selection, failure analysis, cutting transport, hole stability, cementing, centralizer spacing, etc. Participants will be asked to work on example designs prepared by the instructor during lectures. A number of popular industry software packages will be used and demonstrated. However, dangerous assumptions inherent in these software packages will also be explained.
