This seminar offers an in-depth exploration of the causes of stuck pipe incidents and the effective techniques to prevent them.

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of drilling geology and the specific conditions that can contribute to stuck pipe situations, as well as the critical issues of hole cleaning and wellbore instability.

The curriculum will delve into three primary mechanisms responsible for stuck pipe occurrences, providing detailed analysis of the conditions that trigger each mechanism, along with their warning signs and prevention strategies.

Emphasis will be placed on accurately identifying the stuck pipe mechanism, implementing proactive measures to prevent incidents, and executing initial actions to free the drill string.

Additionally, participants will learn about the selection, installation, and operation of Drilling Jars and Accelerators as tools for effectively liberating stuck pipe.

A foundational knowledge of drilling operations, drill string components, and basic mathematical skills is recommended for all participants.
