Drilling For Non-Drilling Personnel Course
Introduction:
This 5-Day course provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of oil and gas drilling engineering concepts and day-to-day operations. It elaborates on drilling terminologies commonly used in drilling operations, rig equipment, and their functions. If you're new to drilling and looking for a comprehensive overview of how it all really works. This brand-new “5 Days: Drilling for Non-Drilling Personnel” course is designed with you in mind. This hands-on training course will walk you through drilling operations, technology and costs and what it takes to plan and drill a well, as well as the logistics and roles of various service companies involved in the process. At the end of the course, you will be literate in oil and gas and be able to read and understand a daily drilling report! Fundamentals of drilling operations; the drilling rig equipment and their functions; drilling terminologies; drilling processes; planning of drilling operations; logistics, role, and responsibilities of service companies including drilling contractor; the functions of drilling fluid, casing, cementing and components of a drill string; the different types of drilling contracts and the types of wells; and, HSE and resources requirements during drilling.
