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

Course Introduction

Drilling Technology is very essential for petroleum industry.  Understanding this technology is very essential for all people have direct or indirect relationship with oil well drilling. Successful work and budget planning need to know the basics of drilling technology. For people who have this relationship such as new hired engineers, production engineers, reservoir engineers, operation engineers, project engineers and accountant this 3 days course will provide them with knowledge, skills and attitude acquainted for their career development and successful implementation of oil well drilling.

The course provides basic technical knowledge on the techniques and equipments used in drilling hydrocarbon wells. Participants will have better understanding on the whole drilling operations.

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.

Suitable For

Newly Engineers and some experienced personnel working on Drilling Rigs who want to gain exposure on drilling theories and operations, and non-technical E & P staff such as Logistics, Finance and Personnel who want to gain knowledge and to understand the technical terms in Drilling.

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.
