High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) Training
Intertek's High Pressure High Temperture (HPHT) Training helps improve drilling performance under difficult conditions.
High pressure, high temperature (HPHT) conditions present a drill crew with unique well control challenges. Intertek's HPHT course introduces HPHT operations to the rig team, highlighting the concerns and challenges specific to HPHT drilling and well control. Emphasizing practical HPHT drilling performance, this course is designed for drilling engineers, company men, supervisors, toolpushers, drillers, assistant drillers, derrickmen, and technical managers responsible for improving drilling performance at the rig site.
The HPHT course is typically customized for a particular operator, drilling rig, and well. Therefore, this one/two-day session becomes an excellent forum for the rig and office-based teams to discuss site-specific HPHT concerns and policies.
The 1 to 2-Day High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) course covers:
- Well Overview - Geology& Drilling
