About Training
During the first day of this course, the entire drilling process will be discussed. The language of drillers - understanding their terminology. Understanding the abbreviations and acronyms associated with drilling. The process begins with identification of a target formation and discusses the equipment and procedures used to reach that target. This provides the background to explain all of the interacting variables involved in drilling wells. The remainder of the week involves detail discussions of the rig equipments and the functions of each, bits types, assembly, Casing, cementing, lost circulation, blowouts, under and overbalance.
The course will illustrate the drilling problems and how to detect and predict the problems considering the preventive action. Also discussing the primary technologies needed to understand the science, engineering, and art needed to create, or construct, a useful well bore. Although some mathematics, such as algebra, will be used in some of the discussions, the primary intent is to provide an understanding of the theory. The ability to calculate the various numbers will be very helpful, but not absolutely necessary, for comprehension of the procedures and theory.
The course provides a fundamental, basic knowledge of the intricacies of drilling fluid, drilled solids management, drill bits, drill string design, cementing, casing, safety, directional drilling and tools used, and a discussion of predominant problems such as stuck pipe and lost circulation.
Training Objectives
- GAIN the practical drilling engineering skills and the application of the technologies.
- LEARN the principles and concepts for the cause's of the problems while drilling.
- DETERMINE the drilling risks and the drilling problems during the operation.
- Able to MANAGE problems on production, formation damage, solids control equipment and the waste management.
- UNDERSTAND a frame for oil and gas industry to let the non engineers get and understand all the equipment are used in the drilling operations.
Audiences
This course is specifically designed for all employees who are associated with the drilling operation such as rig support, supply chain, engineers and company management, as well as functions who deal with drilling requirements and orders such as business development, marketing, planning and project management.
