About the Drilling & Completion Technology Course

Time Training Center's 5-day/30-hour Drilling & Completion Technology Course delivers a strategic and comprehensive approach to modern well delivery. It equips you with an in-depth understanding of the complete well lifecycle, from initial drilling operations to final well completion and stimulation.

The course explores the fundamental principles, operational techniques, and engineering practices governing drilling and completion activities in both onshore and offshore environments. It highlights various drilling rig types, essential drilling equipment such as drill bits and casing systems, and crucial practices like cementing. You can also develop practical expertise in managing common drilling hazards, applying safety standards, and mitigating environmental impacts. Our curriculum delves into different completion types, wellhead equipment, tubing strings, packers, and perforating methods.

Through a mix of theory and practical case studies, our course helps you confidently understand well stimulation techniques. These include acidising and hydraulic fracturing, and assess their effectiveness in enhancing well performance. It also equips you to analyze integrated drilling and completion challenges, learn from field operations, and implement best practices for future projects, ensuring efficient and responsible well delivery.
