Well Drilling

Working in cooperation with Pusdiklat MIGAS (PPSDM Migas) and MFAT, this course was delivered by the Geothermal Institute to provide a New Zealand supported geothermal well drilling training initiative in Indonesia.  

The intensive three day course, held at PPSDM Migas in Cepu, Indonesia, targeted current engineers and aimed to increase the number and standard of geothermal well control practitioners available to work in the Indonesian geothermal sector.

Subject matter experts from the Geothermal Institute, MB Century and Universitas Gadjah Mada delivered the training which drew on material from the NZ Code of Practice for Deep Geothermal Wells (NZS2403:2015) in the following areas:

• Geothermal energy exploration

• Utilisation primer for drilling personnel from the oil and gas sector

• General geothermal wells and drilling practice

• Comparison with oil and gas sector practices

• Well and casing design and engineering for exploration, production and re-injection wells

• Well planning, rig section, consumables, tools and equipment

• Safety and well control

• Drilling problems and case studies drawing on Indonesian challenges and best practice solutions

• Practical exercises, in consultation with Pusdiklat MIGAS, based on existing rig and simulation equipment

• Social and environmental risk assessment and management 

• Professional standards and conduct
