Why Choose this Training Course?

Why Choose this Online Training Course? 

In the development of a hydrocarbon reservoir, many wells are drilled and required to be completed, to allow the hydrocarbon to be produced. This PetroKnowledge training course is designed to give new engineers and non-drilling professionals more knowledge of rig components, drilling operations and possible risks during these critical times of oil and gas development phase.

During this online training course, you will have a better understanding on, how to deal with drillers and rig operators, attending follow-up and technical meetings related to drilling phase. You will also learn the existing challenges, logistical considerations and risks faced by drilling engineers and rig crew.

This online training course on Drilling Essentials for Non-Drilling Professionals will highlight:

  • Provision of optimum development plan
  • Overview on rig components and wells’ constructions
  • Ensure safety
  • Maximize the integrity and reliability of well components, completion over the entire life of the completed well and its effect on the operational cost and production plan
  • Overview on well control importance and procedures

What are the Goals?

What are the Goals?

By the end of this PetroKnowledge online training course, participants will be able to:

  • Know the difference between oil and gas reservoirs and their effect on the drilling operations and development plans
