Drilling Mud Engineering Course
This course equips you with essential drilling mud engineering skills for safer, more efficient oil and gas wells. You will learn to design WBM systems, control ECD, manage lost circulation, stabilise shales, and perform daily mud tests to optimise operations and cut non-productive time across various well challenges from surface to total depth.

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