Course Overview
Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in intelligent directional drilling — it punishes it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline is controlled. Improvement in this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The course gives participants a defensible structure for intelligent directional drilling and the judgement to adapt it. Organisations that document this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants apply this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations to their own operating asset throughout, so the output is directly usable. It suits anyone whose decisions touch intelligent directional drilling, in large organisations and small ones alike. Participants finish able to explain this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations that would make a visible difference.
