DCP 001 DRILLING & COMPLETION FLUIDS TECHNOLOGY

(Mud School)

Why Choose this Training Course?

Drilling and Completion Fluids are critical parts of any Oil & Gas Well. They control the pressures, carry drill cutting from well and protect the reservoir. Drilling Fluids in Oil & Gas Well is comparable to blood circulation and the functionalities in the human body. The knowledge of Drilling / Completion Fluids is key in Oil & Gas Well bore construction.

This    2- week intensive Drilling & Completion Fluids training course will highlight:

• All the Components of Drilling /Completion Fluids.
• Functions of Drilling / Completion Fluids.
• The constraints on the choice of Drilling Fluids Products.
• Types of Drilling / Completion Fluids
• Formulation of Drilling & Completion Fluids.
• The importance of Solids Control Equipment.
