MWD SCHOOL
📡 Want to figure out telemetry and understand how the MWD system works in directional drilling?
This course is your launchpad into the oilfield service industry.
📘 Course Syllabus:
🔹 Directional Surveying Basics:
— Concepts of inclination, azimuth, measured depth (MD), and true vertical depth (TVD)
— Coordinate systems, tool axes, and survey interpretation
🔹 Static Surveys & Quality Control (QC):
— Gtotal, Btotal, and DIP parameters
— How to identify and reject invalid surveys
— Verifying stabilization conditions
🔹 Operating MWD Equipment Out of Specification:
— Fault diagnostics and troubleshooting
— System behavior under abnormal circulation, pulsation, and overheating
— Practical case studies
🔹 Anti-Collision (Separation Factor - SF):
— Calculation principles
— Working with the ellipsoid of uncertainty (EOU)
— Collision risks and clearance control
🔹 Tool Error Model (ISCWSA):
— Impact on azimuth calculations
— Identifying interference zones and engineer's response (MSA application)
🔹 Introduction to LWD / Well Logging:
Basic interpretation of geophysical methods:
— GR (Gamma Ray)
— RES (Resistivity)
— DEN (Density / Gamma-Gamma Logging)
— NEU (Neutron Logging)
👤 Who is this course for:
— Students and graduates in oil and gas engineering
— Professionals looking to transition from Mud Logging, drilling, or other related fields
— Anyone preparing for a technical interview with an MWD company
📘 What is included:
— Foundational theory + equipment and sensors overview
