Overview

About this programme

This intermediate course provides comprehensive training on well logistics and field materials management for drilling, workover, and well intervention operations. Participants will learn to manage tubulars (casing, tubing), wellhead equipment, completion tools, and consumables at remote well sites, ensuring availability for well construction and maintenance.

Who Should Attend:

  • Well Logistics Coordinators

  • Field Materials Supervisors

  • Drilling and Completions Support Staff

  • Supply Chain Professionals in Upstream Oil and Gas

Learning outcomes

What you'll walk away with

  • Manage well materials inventory for drilling and workover operations.

  • Coordinate tubular logistics from mill to wellsite.

  • Implement field-level inventory control and material traceability.

  • Plan logistics for well intervention and workover materials.

Course modules

What we cover, module by module

Module 1: Well Materials Overview

  • Types: casing, tubing, liners, wellhead equipment, completion tools, and consumables.

  • Casing and tubing sizes, grades, weights, and thread types.

  • Wellhead components: casing heads, tubing heads, and Christmas trees.

  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Identify the correct casing and tubing specifications for a given well plan (depth, pressure, and environment).

Module 2: Tubular Logistics (Casing and Tubing)

  • Mill to wellsite logistics: transport by truck, rail, or vessel.

  • Pipe yards: storage, inspection, and thread protection.

  • Pipe tally and traceability systems.

  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Plan the logistics for casing delivery to a remote land rig, including transport, unloading, pipe yard storage, and inspection.

Module 3: Wellhead and Completion Equipment Logistics

  • Wellhead equipment: sourcing, kitting, and delivery.

  • Completion tools: packers, safety valves, and flow control equipment.

  • Rental tools and vendor-managed inventory.

  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Coordinate the logistics for a well completion, including wellhead delivery, packers, tubing hangers, and associated equipment.

Module 4: Field Inventory Management and Consumables

  • Field warehouse vs. truck vs. container-based storage at remote sites.

  • Consumables: chemicals, seals, gaskets, and small parts.

  • Inventory tracking and reorder systems at wellsite.

  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Design a field inventory management system for a remote drilling camp, including reorder points, storage, and cycle counting.

Module 5: Well Intervention and Workover Logistics

  • Workover rigs and coiled tubing units.

  • Logistics for workover materials: slickline, wireline, and stimulation chemicals.

  • Emergency well intervention (well control) kit.

  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Plan the logistics for a hydraulic fracturing (frac) workover, including frac sand, chemicals, and proppant delivery to site.

Impact

Where the change lands

Organizational Impacts:

  • Reduced drilling and workover downtime due to material shortages.

  • Optimized field inventory and reduced write-offs.

  • Improved safety in handling heavy tubulars and wellhead equipment.

Individual Impacts:

  • Mastery of well materials types and specifications.

  • Expertise in tubular management (casing, tubing, liners).

  • Skills to coordinate logistics for well intervention and workover.
