Course Description
This course is intended for individuals who need to work closely with drilling operations; to give a complete understanding of the processes involved in the drilling of oil and gas wells. This introductory course gives an overview of drilling and well operations, drilling systems and challenges in the drilling industry.
It will provide the candidates with a basic understanding of drilling and well technology and terminology. It is designed to present the theory of drilling and the rig site. The course offers a complete overview of the drilling process starting at the well planning stage and concluding with production.
Designed to be accessible by those with no experience in the industry, it serves to assure a base level of fundamental drilling knowledge to act as a foundation for any further training in drilling. The course delivers a comprehensive introduction to the drilling industry working from fundamental basics through to functional descriptions of many of the techniques and equipment used in current drilling operations. To reinforce the learning opportunities there will be simple exercises requiring a basic understanding of mathematics.
