Upon completion of this module the learner will know how to monitor drilling programs for exploratory and delineation wells. Discuss the drilling program and understand the required equipment and procedures for each stage of well operations. Evaluate logic for wildcat location and subsequent delineation wells. Generate a proposal and Statement of Requirements for an exploratory or delineation well, providing input for the well design, drilling program and evaluation. Describe the relationship between formation evaluation requirements and the various aspects of well design and construction. Monitor and report on drilling operations to ensure clear communications. Discuss trade offs between drilling ‘High’ or ‘Off” structure for initial wildcat. Evaluate location of delineation well, Well 2, based on results of a wildcat discovery and economic threshold.
