In this SPE Tech Talk with SLB, we explore the strategic integration of AI models into domain workflows, showcasing real-world examples of AI improving operational efficiency, informing decisions, and fostering innovation.

Introduces the deliverability equation for horizontal wells. Compares horizontal and vertical well performance. Identifies formation characteristics that favor horizontal wells, and discusses methods for their determination. Describes basic well configurations and completion designs. Looks at practical aspects of cementing, zonal isolation, casing design and sand control. Address guidelines for matrix acid treatments and hydraulic fracture stimulations.

Identify, monitor and evaluate drilling, workover, stimulation and well servicing proposals and activities in the context of optimizing the overall reservoir exploitation scheme. Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to contribute to the well planning process by understanding the reservoir engineering aspects of the proposed work and having a knowledge of drilling, workover and well servicing fundamentals, as well as work with the geologist and the drilling engineer to select well locations, target depths and casing points.

Determine the most appropriate procedures, equipment, tools and cementing materials for assuring a high-quality cement job. Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to: determine the volume, displacement and density requirements for cementing a casing string, select the cement additives appropriate to a given job, specify the casing accessories to be use on a primary cement job, outline the steps involved in cementing a string of casing, evaluate the results of a primary or squeeze cementing operation, and calculate the volumes and displacements required to set a cement plug.

Introduces the drilling procedure and provides a clear "blueprint" for the safe, efficient drilling of a well. Integrates the mud, casing, bit, cementing and safety programs. Presents an understanding of how a well proposal is initiated and justified economically.

Reviews the types and features of casing and tubing housings, Christmas tree components and flowline valves, as well as flowline sizing, installations and operating procedures.

Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to: prepare the well for open-hole logging operations and take steps to ensure that such operations proceed smoothly, alert the wellsite geologist and service company logging engineer of hole conditions that may require modifications or special precautions in the logging program, assist in planning and carrying out a drill stem test, determine safe operating parameters for running a production casing string, plan and carry out a simple single-stage primary cementing operation, use temperature surveys to determine the top of cement in the casing/hole annulus, and outline the steps involved in preparing the well for final completion and releasing the drilling rig.

Select the appropriate tubing and accessories for completing wells in keeping with the production method required for the reservoir, and to facilitate future workover, servicing and stimulation work.Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to select the proper sizes and grades of tubulars to maintain the integrity of the wellbore and handle anticipated production, as well as select the downhole casing and tubing accessories needed to optimize production and future well work.

Define basic well design parameters, including well profile, casing points and casing/hole diameters. Design casing strings and outline cementing requirements. Select surface equipment components. Generate preliminary cost estimates for inclusion in AFE. Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to: select a surface location for a new well and establish an optimal target radius, pick casing points and specify casing and hole diameters for each drilled section, establish a well trajectory in keeping with overall drilling objectives, select casing weights, grades and connections based on consideration of maximum load conditions, determine general requirements for primary cementing operations, and specify wellhead equipment components and their working pressure ratings.
