Drilling for Non-Drilling Personnel

Drilling in the oil and gas industry takes up significant cost of a field development and the non-technical staff who extend support for the drilling operations always wonder about the mystery that surrounds the drilling operations. The mystery, due to the insufficient understanding of the drilling process, often leads to gaps in the interaction between the drilling and non-drilling staff. This course provides an excellent opportunity to them for enhancing the awareness and knowledge of the drilling process by de-mystifying the drilling phenomenon through a well-defined systematic training model. This course therefore will help the supporting non-technical staff as well as new recruits to contribute more efficiently and effectively and become an integral part of the drilling process instead of only carrying out a support function.
