State & federal regulations, well site construction, types of drilling rigs, rig equipment, measurement while drilling (MWD), casing installation and cementing, fishing, and proper procedures to successfully drill a well are discussed. Students will also study fundamental operations in the drilling industry; identify the major systems and equipment of a drilling rig; describe specific down-hole problems; and explain solutions. Instruction in volume calculations, hydrostatic pressures, formation pressures, and problems in down-hole drilling operations. Students will also study all phases of reclamation, from the planning phase (state/federal/landowner, requirements/regulations/relations), through the construction, drilling, completion, production, and finally plugging and abandoning phases.
