Applied Drilling Engineering
Format and Duration:
5 days
The course covers all aspects of drilling technology, emphasizing both theory and practical application. The course provides all required fundamentals and background to design, plan and drill a well whether it is shallow, vertical, directional, horizontal, high pressure - high temperature. Application of the information acquired from this course during design and execution process lead to significant drilling cost reduction as well as decrease the total time for drilling process yet end up with a safe and high-quality drilling job. Planning and general well design, casing, cementing, drill string selection, hydraulics are some of the essence to be covered in this course. Design calculations are part of the course, however, these are the similar calculations which must be handled while drilling and/or designing a well.

Background
Evren M. Ozbayoglu is currently a “Chapman Endowed Wellspring Professor” of The University of Tulsa (TU), Petroleum Engineering Department, and the Director of The University of Tulsa, Drilling Research Projects (TUDRP). He has earned his BSc in 1996 and MSc in 1998 from METU. He earned his PhD degree from The University of Tulsa in 2002. He started working at METU as a full-time faculty and continued working at METU until 2009 August. Since then, he has been working for TU.
Dr. Ozbayoglu has numerous publications and participated in several industrial projects on major drilling engineering topics as well as wellbore hydraulics, hole cleaning, tubular mechanics, and data analytics. He was awarded for “Outstanding Technical Editor Award” for SPE Journal, SPE Reservoir Application & Engineering, and SPE Drilling & Completion for years 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2019, “SPE Regional Distinguished Faculty Award – Mid-Continent Region – 2013” within 2012-2013 academic year, and SPE Regional Drilling Engineer Award in 2019. He is an SPE member since 1994, and ASME member since 2015.
