Course Details

Objective

Drilling is essential and expensive part of the oil and gas industry.

Improving the drilling operation carries the greatest interest by the oil and gas operating companies.

The oil and gas drilling industry is changing rapidly in the areas of technology, safety, environment, management, contractual relationships training, drilling operations must confront solve extremely difficult technical, safety and control problems. This course is designed to provide participants with an up-to-date overview of the practical applications of oil and gas drilling techniques. The course covers drilling programming well control planning. Type of drilling (deviated, horizontal and multilateral) drill bit selection and hydraulics, drilling fluid program, casing and cement operations for HP, HT well control operations, drilling problems& solving, well completion operations at HP, HT.
