Drilling Fluids Technology

This “Drilling Fluids Technology” training course will be presented using properly designed materials, some and animation on relevant issues. A manual containing all the slides and/or electronic form in PDF will be delivered to each attendant. Teaching methods include several examples of well drilling programs using different drilling fluids. Pre & Post Course Assessments are integrated in this course.

By the end of this Drilling Fluids Technology training course, delegates will learn:

• To control efficiently the subsurface pressure.
• To keep the holes clean by applying good oilfield operation practice and transporting drastically the drilling cuttings on surface.
• To stabilize and support the borehole.
• To help the designed BHA for drilling to have the best results in minimum time.
• To face drilling problems related to difficult formations where partial or total mud losses occur during circulation.
• To prepare the well for open hole logging.
• To understand the formation damage and to keep it minimum.
• To facilitate the operation to unstuck D/P or during the fishing operations
• To know what are the actions to kill the well in a critical situation.
• To evaluate the efficiency of the drilling fluid according to the formation under drilling and make adjustments and corrections in properties of the fluid.
• To be familiar with FIT and LOT tests during the drilling operations
• Operate new innovative down hole tools like MWD and LWD, DHM and turbines.

This Gulf Rowad Drilling Fluids Technology training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals and will greatly benefit:

• Drilling Engineers
• Drilling Foremen
