BASIC DRILLING SCHOOL
COURSE OBJECTIVES
During this drilling school you will get all the knowledge about
drilling oil and gas wells, design requirements, actual case
design and monitor drilling operations as follows :
1. What is drilling and how an oil well is drilled.
2. The different services & technical knowledge used in the
drilling process.
3. What are and where to get the necessary well design data.
4. Definition of Formation Evaluation and different logs used to
evaluate the formations.
5. Different calculations used in design oil and gas wells.
6. Real Case Well Design using actual oil field data.
7. Using the proper calculations to follow up the operations.
