Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how advanced drilling and well engineering is controlled. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in well engineering — it punishes it. Moving this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make advanced drilling and well engineering hard in practice. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations that were visible long before the incident. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on well engineering are used deliberately. The programme is built to be used, and every section of advanced drilling and well engineering it covers ends in something applicable. They acquire practical criteria for judging when well engineering is working and when it is only appearing to. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability rather than a set of notes.

Advanced drilling and well engineering: economics, price exposure and investment case
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The cost of advanced drilling and well engineering and how to present it
- Verify isolation points for advanced drilling and well engineering are proven and documented.
- Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on well engineering.
- Plan the advanced drilling and well engineering scope so it fits the available shutdown window.
