Who Should Attend?​

This course is ideal for geoscientists, geologists, petrophysicists, and exploration professionals working alongside drilling teams. It is particularly beneficial for those who want to deepen their understanding of drilling operations and improve cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration.

Benefits of Attending​

Participants will gain insights into drilling processes, enhancing their ability to work effectively with drilling teams. The course improves decision-making related to well planning, formation evaluation, and data acquisition, ensuring alignment of geological objectives with operational capabilities.

Learning Objectives

The course aims to teach participants the basics of drilling operations, well design, and the role of drilling fluids and tools in data collection. Attendees will learn how to interpret drilling data, collaborate effectively with drilling teams, and understand the impact of drilling decisions on geological objectives.

By the end of the course, delegates will:

Understand the rock mechanical concepts applied to the well design;
Broaden their knowledge on the drilling techniques;
Be able to identify the needs of the drillers in geological information.

Rock mechanics applied to drilling: the rock mechanic concepts, definition of the rock mechanical properties, etc
Drilling engineering: well design, rig and drilling equipment, general sequence of drilling a well
Directional drilling engineering: directional terms and definitions, trajectory computation, etc
Drilling fluids: functions of drilling fluids, drilling fluid types, composition, etc
Drill bits: drill bit classification, bit selection and performance, importance of geology
