The Operations course is designed for personnel who are engaged in Managed Pressure Drilling operations that have responsibility for using annular friction systems that allow for constant circulation during drill pipe connections and maintaining constant bottomhole pressure. This course focuses specifically on the responsibilities rather than on advanced calculations and MPD methods. It includes adaptive drilling processes used to precisely control the annular pressure profile throughout the wellbore, to ascertain the downhole pressure environment limits and manage the annular hydraulic pressure profile and avoid continuous influx of formation fluids.

After completing the Operations Level course, you’ll be able to:
Operate and monitor MPD systems to maintain stable bottomhole pressure
Manage operational contingencies such as losses, influxes, or ballooning in real time
Support the driller and engineering team in executing adaptive drilling processes safely and efficiently

The course combines theory, discussion, and scenario-based exercises to strengthen both your technical knowledge and operational awareness. You’ll cover:
• MPD Overview – Understanding the operational context and system layout • Conventional Drilling vs. MPD – Key differences and practical implications • MPD Variants and Pressure Management (SBP MPD) – How to maintain safe and efficient operations • SBP MPD Equipment and Rig-up – Familiarisation with system components and setup • Influx Management – Handling formation fluid influxes safely and effectively • MPD Problems & Complications – Troubleshooting losses, ballooning, HPHT issues, stuck pipe, and stability challenges • SBP MPD Procedures – Operational best practices for tripping, cementing, and connections • Pressurised Mud Cap Drilling (PMCD) – Understanding fundamentals, mud injection, and equipment requirements • Health, Safety, Environment, and Regulations – Aligning with industry standards and regulatory compliance
