This three-day course provides a non-technical overview of the phases, operations, and terminology used in the drilling and completion of an oil or gas well. The course will provide participants with a better understanding of issues faced in all aspects of drilling operations. This includes the aspects common to all petroleum drilling (onshore, bottom-founded offshore, and floater operations). In addition, the offshore section includes sections on the types of offshore drilling rigs (floating & bottom founded) and special issues such as motion compensation, station keeping, and re-supply.

Introduction to Land & Offshore Drilling
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
* An overview of the process of designing a well
* How the major systems of the rig operate and interact with each other
* The purposes of drilling fluids, and the various fluid types and properties used to achieve these
* The four basic bit types and their uses
* How and why we run "casing" in a well and cement it in place
* How wells are evaluated to determine the presence and potential production of oil and gas
* Basic completion & workover concepts & processes
* The difference between floating and "bottom founded" MODUs (offshore drilling units) and examples of each
* How offshore drilling units are positioned and kept in place to drill a well (station keeping)
* How we drill a well from a floating drilling unit while it heaves up and down with the waves (motion compensation)
OUTLINE
