Deepwater Challenges
 
5 Day Seminar
(Brookshire, Texas)
  Learning Objective: Learn about what's different (or what should be different) as you extend your operation into deeper water. Covering both DP (Dynamically Positioned) and deep moored rigs, you'll learn about the equipment, systems and procedures that provide well control safety. Includes discussions of past problems to let you learn from others' experience, allowing you to directly improve your drilling operation with lower down time and increased availability in this frontier arena.

Who should attend: Individuals working in the drilling industry who are or will be involved with drilling operations and equipment in waters over 3000 feet deep. Both the man on the rig as well as the supporting engineers and managers will benefit from the most comprehensive seminar to date on deepwater drill-through equipment related issues.
