Drilling Fluid Operations – Field Practices

This course has been precisely designed for student of petroleum engineering/ chemical engineering aspiring for drilling fluid engineering, Drilling Engineers and field personnel involved in the planning and implementation of drilling programs. The seminar covers all aspects of drilling fluids technology, emphasizing both theory and practical application. Drilling is a complex operation consisting of different technologies and disciplines. Today’s drilling personnel must have a working knowledge of drilling fluid in order to cost effectively drill a well. The course provides the fundamentals necessary to drill a well, whether it is a shallow well or a complex or a high pressure well. This course is also valuable for drillers who needs to understand the fundamental aspects of drilling fluids and its importance in drilling operations.
