MANAGED PRESSURE DRILLING OPERATIONS
30 November – 4 December 2015 | Kuala Lumpur | Malaysia
Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is a drilling tool that is increasingly being recognised by operators and
regulators as it is able to enhance safety, efficiency and lower cost. MPD aims to resolve chronic drilling
problems that contribute to non-productive time. These problems include:
 Well Stability
 Stuck Pipe
 Lost Circulation
 Well Control Incidents
When MPD is executed correctly, it is as safe as, or safer than, current conventional drilling techniques. The
objective of this 5-day course is to help you understand and apply the fundamentals of MPD, starting from
candidate assessment and selection through to implementation. The aim is to provide you with the knowledge
required to identify prospective MPD candidate wells in their operations through a rigorous candidate screening
process, evaluate the appropriate approach to most economically and safely drill the well and, if the approach
selected is MPD, to ensure that the appropriate equipment, procedures, assessment and mitigation of risks are
applied.
Course Structure
The course, which follows the structure of the Gulf Publishing Company’s textbook “Managed Pressure Drilling”,
supplemented with latest technology developments and case studies, will, amongst others, cover the following
important topics:
 The basic principles of MPD – how it works
 How MPD addresses NPT problems
 Overview of MPD methods
 Selection of the appropriate MPD method
 MPD well design, including mud system and mud weight selection
 MPD Equipment and equipment selection
 MPD control systems
 Application of screening criteria for MPD and candidate selection
 Risk analysis
 Project economics
What will you learn?
During the course, current MPD methods are described, highlighting advantages and disadvantages of each. By
the end of the course, you will be able to determine which MPD method is most suitable for a particular
application or well section.
In summary, you will be in a position to do the following after the course:
 Screen their own candidate wells using criteria for MPD candidate selection
 Apply specific design principles for selected MPD wells/methods
 Determine operating parameters for safe MPD operations
 Prepare a MPD based drilling program
 Evaluate project risks
 Evaluate project economics.
We will use case studies and worked exercises to reinforce learning.
