    Hole Cleaning & Drilling Fluids in the Oil and Gas Industry

    This self-paced course provides a comprehensive overview of drilling fluids and hole cleaning practices essential to efficient wellbore operations, focusing on performance optimization, problem-solving, and advanced field applications.

    Description

    This comprehensive program is divided into two key modules. The Hole Cleaning module covers fundamentals , parameters for success , and how to manage associated problems like poor cleaning and barite sag. It addresses strategies for vertical, high-angle, and extended-reach wells. The Drilling Fluids module explores water-base , oil-base, and synthetic-base muds. It details fluid functions , rheology , and solutions for stuck pipe , lost circulation , and HPHT challenges. The course also covers solids control equipment and mud engineering calculations.
