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 and efficient wells. You will learn ECD control, mud window design, daily testing routines, and workflows for managing kicks, losses, tight spots, and depleted sands. Additionally, master shale inhibition, solids control, LCM selection, and field reporting to enable safer, smoother drilling from surface to total depth.
