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