Introduction

This is a newest course offered by Prentice Training Company, Inc.  It covers drillstring including components, configuration, wear, loading, directional control and design.  Drilling fluids with regards to type, how to run, and drilling considerations are discussed.  The hydraulics section includes friction loss and pressure surge determination, cutting transport considerations and optimization procedures.  Abnormal pressure detection is covered.  Drilling problems and solutions including lost circulation, stuck pipe, kicks, slow penetration rates, and crooked hole are covered.

The Drilling Supervision course is taught as an operational "how to" course.  It is more an experienced practical personnel course.  While some subject matter is duplicated in the Drilling Practices course, more subjects are addressed in Drilling Supervision than in Drilling Practices.  Drilling Practices covers subjects and theory much more deeply. It is more an engineering introductory course.
