Stuck Pipe Prevention & Fishing 22 – 26 November 2010, Kuala Lumpur

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 3 day course (separately bookable) focuses upon the key mechanisms with which pipe becomes stuck and upon how the sticking mechanisms can be prevented through proper planning and operational procedures. It also covers the Driller’s First Actions, i.e. what the Driller should do as soon as he has become stuck in order to maximise the possibility of becoming free.

To maximise their learning, delegates work through actual stuck pipe case histories, identifying the sticking mechanisms, prevention measures and what to do to get free. Presentation material is through the use of the Stuck Pipe Prevention Handbook, PowerPoint, case histories, videos and digital film.
