Course Description
This course provides a fundamental understanding of drilling technology, focusing on the equipment, procedures, and operational techniques used in oil and gas well drilling. Designed for both technical and non-technical professionals, it covers key concepts, processes, and challenges in drilling operations. Participants will gain insights into drill bits, casing, cementing, well control, directional drilling, and Measurement-While-Drilling (MWD) techniques. The course also addresses critical issues such as wellbore stability, stuck pipe, and lost circulation, along with reading and interpreting drilling reports. Through interactive sessions, practical exercises, case studies, and real-world examples, participants will gain a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience.
