'Extreme offshore wells' drilling workshop?

21 November 2011 In context of running a training/development workshop.
What would you consider as the 'central subject matters' in regards to challenges, problems, solutions delivered, for todays more 'extreme offshore wells' being drilled. e.g.

Deep & Ultra deepwater.

• Jetting conductors.
• Optimising riserless drilling (shallow gas/water flows)
• Narrow margin drilling, downhole problems.
• Well control management
• Relevant case studies

Extreme HPHT wells.

• Optimal well design.
• Transition zone, reservoir drilling.
• Narrow margins, downhole problems
• PVT effects.
• QA/QC of Tools & equipment, limitations
• relevant case studies.

Remote (offshore) Arctic Exploration.

• The supply logistics chain.
• Ice management.
• Well control management
• Relevant case studies.

High angle, Horizontal Depleted narrow margin wells.

• Pressure management, downhole problems
• When do safe limits not exist, equipment limits?
• Options (UBD, MPD)
• Well control management
• Case studies

Technology applicaiotn/adaptation.

• Technology adaptation.
• Technology options
• Case studies

Competencies/training/development?

All comments welcomed.
