Overview
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. This indicated that there are more opportunities in deepwater to be unlocked.
This course provides knowledge of Deepwater well design and drilling 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 deepwater wells. The course covers not only theory, technicalities and practicalities of designing, drilling and completing deepwater wells but it also covers real examples and exercises.
This course is delivered by Semarak Training in partnership with MIDAS Events Management in conjunction of Sabah Oil, Gas & Energy Conference & Exhibition (SOGCE) 2024. The course is HRD Corp claimable.
