This is an introductory level drilling course which introduces rotary drilling process and basic drilling rig components to the students who have no prior knowledge of oil well drilling technology. Hands-on laboratory testing of drilling fluids is covered. At the end of the course, the students should be able to assess formation pressures and fracture strengths, design mud programs and casing shoe depths, design basic components of a drilling rig, and be familiar with popular drilling problems.
