What Topics are in Drilling Engineering Course?




















Drilling engineering course provides learners with a background in drilling and completions that will enable them to apply basic concepts of drilling and completion to actual world problems on rig site. There are several topics that most of engineering schools will cover as follows;

1 Rotary Drilling Mechanics – the process of drilling rig, Oilfield Calculations, Bottom Hole Assembly Basics

2 Drilling Fluids – Water Base Mud, Oil Base Mud, Foam Base Mud

3 Well Design – how many casing strings and why?, Create the Mud Window, Fracture Gradient Prediction (maximum mud weight), Pore Pressure Prediction (minimum mud weight)

4 Hole Section (Top Hole, Intermediate, Production)

5 Bit Selection – bit types and applications

6 Drill String Design - understand basic concept of drill sting design, fatigue, drill string operation

7 Casing Design - basic concept of casing design, physical property of casing, casing operation

8 Cementing Oil Well - Cement considerations, type of cement, basic cement calculation and operation, oil well cement chemical

9 Well head (Types and wellhead applications) - how well head work, well head selection

10 Well Control and Blow Out Preventers - well control equipment, causes of well control, basic method to control well, etc
11 Hydraulics and Optimization
12 Directional Drilling
