About the Course
This course discusses the technology used to drill wells. The procedures and equipment used in drilling oil and gas wells are described for people to understand irrespective of their academic background. The overall drilling process is presented along with definitions and descriptions of drilling equipment. This provides the vocabulary to understand the drilling process. Also discussed in this course are various components and procedures with explanations of the basic science concepts which guide these processes. Some of these are drill bits, directional drilling, drilling fluids, solids control, cementing, casing, well bore stability, well control, measurement-while-drilling techniques, stuck pipe, lost circulation, and well bore hydraulics.
Some technology enhancements are included to improve understanding of drilling operations for all participants, with or without a science background. A discussion of clay mineralogy helps understand well bore instability and drilling fluids.
