Preventing stuck pipe incidents can save thousands of dollars in non-productive time.

Stuck Pipe Prevention covers topics to eliminate or greatly reduce stuck pipe incidents on your rig.

Topics covered include the following:

• Causes and mechanisms of stuck pipe
• Warning signs of impending problems
• How to prevent stuck pipe
• Theory and proper use of jars
• Freeing techniques

With emphasis on prevention of stuck pipe, the team concept is used throughout the course, explaining the contribution and value of every crewmember in the goal of keeping the pipe free. With your data, courses can be customized, and past stuck pipe incidents can be analyzed to determine what was done correctly and where techniques can be improved.

Stuck Pipe Prevention is usually held in a two-day format, and can be incorporated with our Pre-Spud Planning course. One-day refresher courses can also be arranged.
