Drilling Essentials for Non-Drilling Professionals - Virtual Learning
In the development of a hydrocarbon reservoir, many wells are drilled and required to be completed, to allow the hydrocarbon to be produced. This training course is designed to give new engineers and non-drilling professionals more knowledge of rig components, drilling operations and possible risks during these critical times of oil and gas development phase.
During this training course, you will have a better understanding on, how to deal with drillers and rig operators, attending follow-up and technical meetings related to drilling phase. You will also learn the existing challenges, logistical considerations and risks faced by drilling engineers and rig crew.
This training course on Drilling Essentials for Non-Drilling Professionals will highlight:
Provision of optimum development plan
Overview on rig components and wells’ constructions
Ensure safety
Maximize the integrity and reliability of well components, completion over the entire life of the completed well and its effect on the operational cost and production plan
Overview on well control importance and procedures
