Drilling Mud Engineering Course
This course equips you with essential drilling mud engineering skills for safer, more efficient oil and gas wells. Master Water-Based Mud (WBM) design, Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) control, lost circulation management, shale stability techniques, and daily mud testing protocols to optimise drilling performance and minimise non-productive time across various well conditions from surface to total depth.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in designing and managing Water-Based Mud (WBM) systems for stable, efficient wells. Master ECD control, mud window design, daily testing routines, and workflows for handling kicks, losses, tight spots, and depleted sands. Learn shale inhibition, solids control, LCM selection, and field reporting to support safer drilling from surface hole to total depth.
