ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
Time is money in the oil business. Drilling time is big money. Whether in a
technical, managerial or supporting role, you are a valuable asset to ensuring
that project delivery targets are met and profits are realised. As drilling
activities continue, professionals like you must grasp the language and
technology of drilling operations in order to maximise expenditures throughout
the producing life of a well.
Drilling equipment and procedures have a unique language that must be conquered
for maximum benefit. Clear and understandable explanations of drilling rig
equipment, procedures, and their complex interactions provide an excellent
foundation for smooth communication and increased efficiency in inter-department
project team efforts.
Drilling Essentials will help you de-mystify activities around the rig and well
planning. It will explain the fundamentals of drilling with an emphasis on key
areas such as logistical considerations, costing, and analysis of drilling
contracts. Understand the urgency of drilling requests, know more about the cost
implications of drilling-related problems, and understand the risks involved in
a drilling contract. With the course director's drilling knowledge and skills,
this is your opportunity to explore and understand important drilling concepts,
principles, and technology which are presented in a reader-friendly format and
illustrated with examples. As a non-drilling professional, you too can grow with
the drilling industry with a deeper understanding of the critical role you play
in contributing to its success!

Organisational Impact
Your expert course leader has over 45 years of experience in the Oil & Gas
industry. During that time, he has worked exclusively in the well engineering
domain. After being employed in 1974 by Shell, one of the major oil & gas
producing operators, he worked as an apprentice on drilling rigs in the
Netherlands. After a year, he was sent for his first international assignment to
the Sultanate of Oman where he climbed up the career ladder from Assistant
Driller, to Driller, to wellsite Petroleum Engineer and eventually on-site
Drilling Supervisor, actively engaged in the drilling of development and
exploration wells in almost every corner of this vast desert area. At that time,
drilling techniques were fairly basic and safety was just a buzz word, but such
a situation propels learning and the fruits of 'doing-the-basics' are still
reaped today when standing in front of a class. After some seven years in the
Middle East, a series of other international assignments followed in places like
the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Turkey, Denmark, China, Malaysia, and Russia.
Apart from on-site drilling supervisory jobs on various types of drilling rigs
(such as helicopter rigs) and working environments (such as jungle and artic),
he was also assigned to research, to projects and to the company's learning
centre. In research, he was responsible for promoting directional drilling and
surveying and advised on the first horizontal wells being drilled, in projects,
he was responsible for a high pressure drilling campaign in Nigeria while in the
learning centre, he looked after the development of new engineers joining the
company after graduating from university. He was also involved in international
well control certification and served as chairman for a period of three years.
In the last years of his active career, he worked again in China as a staff
development manager, a position he nurtured because he was able to pass on his
knowledge to a vast number of new employees once again. After retiring in 2015,
he has delivered well engineering related courses in Australia, Indonesia,
Brunei, Malaysia, China, South Korea, Thailand, India, Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, The
Netherlands, and the United States. The training he provides includes well
control to obtain certification in drilling and well intervention, extended
reach drilling, high pressure-high temperature drilling, stuck pipe prevention
and a number of other ad-hoc courses. He thoroughly enjoys training and is keen
to continue taking classes as an instructor for some time to come.
