Course objectives: Acquisition of knowledge and skills in the application of software packages in optimizing the drilling process.

Course content: 

• Demonstration of work in Landmark software and all subroutines related to well design;
• Selection of drilling fluid composition for specific sections of a wellbore and determination of drilling fluid properties;
• Selection of drill string components and calculation of longitudinal and torsional stresses in the drill string during drilling;
• Casing string design (appropriate depth of casing setting, dimensioning of casings, etc.);
• Hydraulic calculation during wellbore cleaning and casing cementing;
• Development of a complete well design project.

Learning outcomes at the level of the course:

• Apply the selected software package;
• Design the well trajectory;
• Select the drilling string components and perform the drill string stress analysis;
• Formulate the appropriate well design;
• Perform hydraulic calculation drilling and cementing.
