Well drilling design, drilling rig components and classifications, drilling fluids, casing design and running, and completion of the well all are discussed thoroughly. This course also utilizes the Total System Analysis technique for the design and performance analysis of the production system starting from the reservoir through the wellbore to the production separator.
