Fundamentals of Drilling, Completion & Workover

Overview

📄 Course Description:

This course is designed to provide non-drilling professionals (e.g., geoscientists, reservoir engineers, field operations, HSE, finance personnel) with a clear understanding of the fundamentals of drilling, completion, and workover operations. Participants will gain insight into terminology, rig components, procedures, risk management, and cross-functional decision-making related to well construction and intervention.

👥 Who Should Attend:

Geoscientists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers
Production, HSE, and operations personnel
Finance, procurement, and supply chain staff supporting drilling activities
Government, JV, or regulatory professionals
Project and asset team members seeking a broader operational understanding

🛠️ Training Format:

Duration: 5 days (in-person or virtual delivery)
Format: Instructor-led, case-based, interactive learning
Materials: Presentation slides, real-life examples, group exercises
Instructor: Senior drilling/completion professional with multidisciplinary exposure
