What will I learn?
This Drilling Mud Engineering Course equips you with hands-on skills to design and handle WBM systems for stable, efficient wells. You will learn ECD control, mud window planning, daily testing procedures, and workflows for kicks, losses, tight spots, and depleted sands. Gain mastery in shale inhibition, solids control, LCM selection, and field reporting to enable safer, smoother drilling from surface to total depth.
