Torque and Drag Software (TADPRO) Training Course
Description:
This torque and drag software (TADPRO) training course includes fundamental torque and drag concepts, common applications for drilling and casing running, and an exploration of both the capabilities and limitations of torque and drag software.
Objectives:
- Explain fundamental concepts of friction in a wellbore
- Understand and model common torque and drag applications
- Describe the common torque and drag limitations and challenges in drilling and casing running
- Describe the benefits of torque and drag software models
- Describe common torque and drag reduction techniques
- Explain the oil and gas industry’s responses to torque and drag limitations
- Describe operational lines in torque and drag software and the parameters that define them
- Explain the torque and drag equations and how each variable affects drilling and casing running
- Calibrate a torque and drag model to field results to determine the actual friction factors
- Use torque and drag software to model a well, identify problems, and alleviate or remediate those problems
Learning Level:
Beginner - Intermediate
Course Length:
2 Days
Certification Program:
A TADPRO certification will be issued upon the completion of the training course. This certificate will differentiate you with skills and knowledge in torque and drag modeling. Earning this industry certification demonstrates to employers and perspective clients that you have the technical skills to maximize what TADPRO can do.
