The candidates will develop an appreciation for the complexity of these wells and become equipped to design programs for horizontal and multilateral wells from drilling through completion and production.

By the end of this BTS training course, participants will be able to:

• Successfully design and optimize horizontal and multilateral wells
• Engineer wells, taking into account limitations imposed by well bore stability and borehole friction
• Determine the appropriate zonal isolation methods for horizontal and multilateral wells
• Design damage removal, stimulation, and work over operations

Drilling engineers, Completion engineers, Production engineers, Reservoir engineers, Research engineers, Geologists, Drilling Managers, Completion Managers, Exploration Managers; anyone involved in various phases of horizontal and multilateral wells or interested in gaining an interdisciplinary up-to-date understanding of this continually evolving technology
