Drilling Mud Engineering Course
This course equips you with essential skills in drilling mud engineering to ensure safer and more efficient oil and gas wells. You will learn to design Water-Based Mud (WBM) systems, control Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD), manage lost circulation, stabilise shales, and perform daily mud tests, helping to optimise operations and cut down non-productive time significantly.

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