General Objective: In this course we will teach the students what is torque, what is drag. What is the influence of the angle of your well to the amount of torque and drag experienced in your well. We will also explain what the impact of your well design is on your casing wear and side-forces. What is stick slip and how to reduce or prevent this phenomenon. Sinusoidal and helical buckling will be discussed in depth to prevent the student making the wrong assumption and discissions in the future. After you finish this course, you have much better grasp on how to prevent issues from occurring on your high-angle wells and not ending up with a train rack.
