SPE Short Course – Drilling Engineering
UQ Facility 308 Queen St, Brisbane, QLD, AustraliaPRESENTED BY: RAY PROCTER - Ray Procter Group This is an introductory course covering the following Drilling Engineering topics: Drill String Design - is a process where Drilling engineers design, select and review placement of the appropriate components within a drill string; taking into consideration the environment, stresses and strains that the drill string will be required to operate under. Successful drill string design involves, selecting components to maintain the appropriate operating envelope of the assembly for the application; reducing the risk of failure by reducing fatigue and wear during operation; considers metallurgical properties to mitigate or reduce the effects of stress corrosion cracking caused by the operation environment.
