Drilling for Non-Drilling Professionals

Introduction This introduction course is designed to provide new drilling engineers and non-drilling professionals with an understanding of how wells are designed and drilled, the people and roles involved, equipment and services used to drill a well. Objectives The objectives of this course are to provide participants with an understanding of the drilling process from […]

Well Completion Design

Introduction Completions are the conduit between hydrocarbon reservoirs and surface facilities. They are a fundamental part of any hydrocarbon field development project. They have to be designed for safely maximising the hydrocarbon recovery from the well and may have to last for many years under ever changing conditions. Issues include: connection with the reservoir rock, […]

Petroleum Economics Masterclass

Introduction Economics drives the entire oil & gas producing industry. Almost every decision is made on the basis of an economic evaluation. Oil & gas operating company develops petroleum economics to justify risk and return of investment of its projects. Therefore, it is important for professionals who are involved in Field Development Planning and Portfolio […]

Well Integrity Management

There are over 2 million existing wells across the world, the majority of which are likely to be more than 25 years old. Those wells were constructed to much less demanding standards than those employed today. As a
result, there could be a number of underlying threats to the integrity of any particular well.

Advanced HPHT Well Engineering

Introduction This course is delivered as a scenario-based course to provide knowledge of High-Pressure and High-Temperature (HPHT) well design, drilling and completion operations to drilling and completion engineers. The course is specifically designed to provide an understanding of the challenges associated with the design and construction of HPHT wells. The course starts with an HPHT […]

Deepwater Drilling Operations

Introduction Deepwater drilling is typically defined as operating in water depths exceeding 450 feet. To date, 116 Deepwater wells have been drilled thus far in Malaysia. At present, there are more than 6 BBOE (billion barrel of oil equivalent) waiting to be discovered in deepwater Malaysia, with the highest yet-to-find in Sabah, followed by Sarawak. […]

Decommissioning of Offshore Installations

Decommissioning offshore Oil and Gas installations is an inevitable part of the ‘Life of Field’ activities. It carries
a multi-billion $ cost with no commercial return.

Advanced Well Decommissioning: Principles & Practices

Introduction For the next three years, decommissioning plans in Malaysia include the plugging and abandonment (P&A) of about 130 wells and the abandonment of about 50 facilities. Experience in other parts of the world indicates that wells can make up over 50% of the overall field decommissioning costs. The need for competent technical staff trained […]

Offshore Well Abandonment: Plug, Abandonment & Decommissioning

Introduction As the number of ageing fields in Malaysia increases, the plugging and abandonment (P&A) of wells become a critical activity that carries major liability to operators and regulators. Experience in other parts of the world indicates that wells can make up over 50% of the overall field decommissioning costs. The need for competent technical […]
