Course Overview

Drilling engineering and well construction are critical to safe, efficient, and cost-effective hydrocarbon recovery. This Drilling Engineering and Well Construction Management Training Course provides participants with the principles, technologies, and management practices essential to modern drilling projects.

Participants will explore well design, casing and cementing, drilling fluids, and directional drilling. They will also learn project management strategies for safety, risk mitigation, and operational efficiency. Real-world case studies will highlight best practices in well construction and integrity management.

By the end of the course, attendees will be ready to plan, execute, and oversee drilling operations that meet technical, safety, and environmental standards.
