Description:
This course aims to provide participants with a broad and focused understanding of well drilling techniques, operations, equipment, and design. A theoretical and hands on approach is used in the delivery of this intensive training program. Lectures are designed to give the participants a broad range of drilling engineering topics, detailed knowledge and skills needed in drilling engineering. Participants will be exposed to standard industry software, drilling simulators and opportunity to work in teams and individually. Participants will be assessed periodically throughout the program with a final assessment at the end of the training.
