Course Description

This course is designed for non-drilling engineers who are involved in drilling operations or have an interest in understanding the key principles of drilling engineering. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the concepts, technologies, and practices involved in drilling for oil and gas. Participants will learn about the drilling process, equipment, well control, and the role of engineers in managing drilling operations. The course focuses on providing non-drilling engineers with a solid foundation of knowledge to collaborate effectively with drilling teams and contribute to successful well delivery.

Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basic principles and processes involved in drilling operations.
• Identify the key components and equipment used in drilling rigs and their functions.
• Grasp the fundamentals of well control, safety, and risk management in drilling operations.
• Understand the role of different engineering disciplines in drilling operations.
• Familiarize with the various types of wells and drilling techniques.
• Communicate effectively with drilling teams and contribute to problem-solving during operations.
• Gain an understanding of the challenges and innovations in modern drilling engineering.

Who Can Benefit

• Non-drilling engineers who want to expand their knowledge of the drilling process.
• Engineers from other disciplines (e.g., reservoir, production, mechanical, civil, etc.) working in the oil and gas industry.
• Technical professionals seeking a comprehensive overview of drilling operations.
• Anyone involved in multi-disciplinary teams with drilling operations who needs a basic understanding of drilling engineering.
