Course Description
It is estimated that approximately US$ 2 billion are wasted annually on stuck pipe. Furthermore it is believed that 80 – 85% of these stuck pipe incidents are preventable. The course focuses on the key mechanisms with which pipe becomes stuck and how the sticking mechanisms can be prevented through proper planning and operational procedures.
The candidates will study issues related to identifying the sticking mechanisms, prevention measures and what to do to get free.Typically, Fishing is the last chance for the operator to recover the stuck BHA / fish from the hole. In many cases work pressure is considerable, since fishing is a high cost operation and because governments often demand that nuclear sources for example are recovered. Thus, it is vital that Fishing is a success. And yet there is an estimated 85% failure rate. The course also focuses on how fishing can be a success at first time. The course will illustrate proven procedures and methodologies.
