Drill Through Equipment
This, Introduction to Drilling, course is intended for individuals who will be working closely with drilling departments within their companies. This course will give participants a complete understanding of the processes involved in the drilling of oil and gas wells. On each day, there will be a daily, instructor led presentation. The course material that is provided to each participant l will contain sufficient attached notes to form a basic manual. To reinforce the learning opportunities there will be simple exercises requiring a basic understanding of mathematics.
