About the course: This comprehensive, hands-on course equips participants with advanced knowledge of drilling operations and how to mitigate associated risks. The training focuses on identifying early warning signs, applying well control techniques, and solving common drilling issues using real-time data and proven methodologies.

Learning Objectives:

• Master the identification of early warning signs for stuck pipe, borehole instability, and lost circulation using real-time indicators.
• Gain hands-on understanding of well control techniques, including responses to unconventional well control situations.
• Learn practical troubleshooting skills for common drilling issues such as BHA failure, hole deviation, and mud contamination.
• Develop risk mitigation strategies to minimize Non-Productive Time (NPT) and operational hazards during drilling.
• Understand the human and operational factors that contribute to drilling failures — and how to manage them effectively.

Duration: 10+ hours

Prerequisites: A systematic approach and understanding of drilling fundamentals. Incorporates industry standards, proprietary analysis, and field metrics for efficient results.
