Why Choose Us
The Managed Pressure Drilling Technologies Course gives drilling engineers, well engineers, and operations professionals a comprehensive, technically rigorous understanding of MPD principles, equipment, pressure control methodology, operational procedures, and safety management equipping them to plan, implement, and manage MPD operations across a wide range of well types and drilling environments.
Managed Pressure Drilling has transformed how the industry approaches wells that conventional drilling cannot handle safely or economically. Narrow pore pressure to fracture gradient windows, HPHT conditions, depleted reservoirs, and deepwater drilling environments — these are the challenges where MPD delivers its most significant value. Understanding MPD thoroughly is now a critical capability for any drilling professional working in technically demanding well environments.
This course addresses every dimension of that capability — from MPD types, rotating control devices, choke manifold systems, and ECD modelling, through real-time monitoring integration, kick detection, well control considerations, and HAZOPs, to HPHT field applications, lessons learned from failures, and a hands-on MPD design exercise.
The Managed Pressure Drilling Operations Course is built for drilling professionals who want the technical depth and operational confidence to plan, implement, and manage MPD operations safely and effectively in any field environment.
How will this Training Course be Presented?
The Managed Pressure Drilling Technologies Course is delivered through a technically structured, progressively building learning approach that moves from MPD fundamentals and system components through pressure control and wellbore hydraulics, operational procedures, safety management, and field case study application. Each day addresses a distinct technical domain — building a complete, integrated understanding of MPD from concept through to operational execution.
Real field case studies, ECD modelling discussions, HAZOP exercises, and a hands-on MPD design and operations planning workshop are integrated throughout — ensuring delegates connect technical frameworks to the practical realities of MPD in the field.
Delivery methods include:
- Instructor-led sessions covering MPD fundamentals, system types, equipment configuration, and pressure control principles
- MPD equipment and system component workshops examining RCDs, choke manifolds, backpressure pumps, and control software in operational context
- Pressure management and ECD modelling sessions applying annular pressure profile analysis and hydraulics modelling to MPD wellbore scenarios
- Real-time monitoring integration discussions exploring how MPD systems interact with data acquisition and automation platforms
- Field case study analysis and group design workshop applying HPHT and narrow margin well case study learning to a practical MPD design and operations planning exercise
