Course Title: DRILLING AND COMPLETION
Course Description:
Drilling and Completion I covers Components and Processes related
to Oil and Gas Drilling, and the fundamental principles of geology, chemistry,
and physics that provide the scientific basis for drilling technology. Basics
of drilling hoisting, circulating, and rotating systems will be
introduced. Material will then cover the properties of drilling fluids
and additives as well as cement composition, additives, and placement
technologies. The course also defines technical terms necessary to
the understanding of instructions and information provided by the mud
engineers. The course discusses the introduction to drilling fluids, the
development of drilling technology equipment and procedures for evaluating
drilling fluids performance, clay mineralogy and colloid chemistry, rheology,
filtration properties, hole stability, drilling problems, and completion
fluids. Drilling technology covers directional and horizontal drilling
cementing, casing and casing design, drilling fluids and well control.
