Deepwater Drilling and Production Technology - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. This 3-day course describes the deepwater technology that has been developed and implemented in the last few years. It is illustrated with extensive graphics plus over 100 animated and photographic videos of the latest equipment and the most recent actual DW field developments. Each of the DW system components is discussed in terms of its engineering challenges. Introducing each technology area is a brief description of the conventional water depth technology from which the new, DW concepts have evolved. The bases for selection of particular field configurations are discussed. Find out more
