Prolific Consultants FZE Certificate of Course Completion will be issued to all attendees.

Course Introduction

Successful well drilling requires different considerations, interdisciplinary planning, and special techniques.  Casing, cementing and fluid flow are very useful subjects outstanding drilling well implementation and production duration therafter.  This 5-day course addresses the critical need for a proper understanding of all aspects casing and cementing operations. Casing manufacture and casing properties as well as casing design is more useful for oil well engineering.  A combined practical and technical theme is employed, with emphasis on economy and efficiency in running and cementing these casing. Participants develop an appreciation for the choosing casing scheme and cement properties for oil wells for successful long life production. 

Course Objective

The course is designed to give an overview of the basic fundamentals of oil and gas well drilling.  It introduces rig types; onshore and offshore, rig components, drilling tools and their specifications and selection procedures.  It also introduces rig systems, as well as drilling operations and drilling fluids. It also deals with drilling problems and their remedies. It helps attendants to understand the drilling rigs, tools, drilling operations and drilling problems.

The main objectives of this course is to make the attendees familiar with all casing terminologies, inform them about the basic requirement of casing design and train them to design actual cases of some given wells.  Also, major problems such as salt collapse will be introduced and remedies process will be shown. 

Suitable For

Roustabouts, Floor-men, Derrick-men, Assistant Drillers, Drillers, Tool-pushers, OIM's, Chief Electricians, Chief Mechanics, Drilling Engineers, Project Engineers, and Operation Engineers

Training Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lecture and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge and experience transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody finding the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their own questions and to share developing the right answers using their own analysis and experience.

All presentations are made in excellent colorful power point. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
