About Training
This five day Drilling Fluids Training Course aims to first provide a comprehensive overview of the functions of drilling fluids, and provide the in-depth knowledge for participants learn to design a mud system. The course content covers both water-based and oil-based mud systems. Participants will be able to gain the knowledge in chemistry part for drilling fluids, such as clay chemistry, polymers chemistry, and rheology. The course is delivered in a daily presentation format, with practical instruction given. Course materials will contain detailed attached notes to form a basic manual. There is also a visit to operational fluids laboratory to view equipment and see demonstrations.
The course is based on a balanced combination of classroom teaching, workshop sessions and syndicate exercises supported by practical and exercises within the industrial environment. This course is designed in with leading industry knowledge and practical case studies discussion and analysis to provide an interactive learning environment.
