What will I learn?
This Drilling Mud Engineering Course equips you with hands-on skills to design and oversee Water-Based Mud (WBM) systems for stable and efficient wells. You will learn to manage ECD, design mud windows, perform daily testing routines, and follow clear workflows for handling kicks, losses, tight spots, and depleted sands. Additionally, master shale inhibition, solids control, LCM selection, and field reporting to enable safer, smoother drilling from surface hole to total depth.
