Drilling and Wells

Drilling Optimisation Operations - Well Site Supervisor

Building on the fluids, casing and directional units, this part of the supervisor track carries out a final design check on the whole drilling system. It focuses on bits, hydraulics, drill string design and reducing time spent off bottom. Physics-based drilling ideas are introduced to help supervisors optimise within the rig's actual capacity and conditions.
