What will I learn?

This Directional Drilling Course equips you with practical skills to plan and execute precise well trajectories, from selecting the kick-off point to landing at the target. You'll learn about trajectory geometry, calculations for true vertical depth and measured depth, bottom hole assembly design, measurement-while-drilling surveys, build rates and dogleg severity compliance, as well as risk mitigation, well control, and straightforward planning processes adapted for West Texas to boost performance, safety, and regulatory compliance on every project.
