Today's drilling personnel must have a working
knowledge of all the required disciplines in order to effectively drill a well.
The course provides all the fundamentals necessary to drill a well whether it
is a shallow well or a complex, high pressure well.
The training course is also designed for
engineers and field personnel involved in the planning and implementation of
drilling programs. The course covers all aspects of drilling technology,
emphasizing both theory and practical application.
Computer programs are used to design many
aspects of the modern well and the course will provide the participants with
the theory behind most programs along with practical implementation. The course
will also include advanced Mud Logging principles and operations.
This Galaxy Oil & Gas trainings course builds a firm foundation in
the principles and practices of drilling and well planning, drilling fluid,
drill string design, hydraulic optimization and drilling hole problems.
Participants will learn the components of drilling string and how to use each
in optimum ways, how to evaluate the WOB and select the proper size of drill
collar. Participants will also be able to apply the practical solution for
analyzing the performance of drill string design for both vertical and
direction holes.
