Course Overview
The integrity of any well, can be attributed to the success of the cementing process, whether it is creating a barrier that prevents fluid migration, isolating producing from non-producing zones, providing structural stability to the casing architecture, preventing abnormal pore pressure transmission and the uncontrolled escape of hydrocarbons or formation fluids to surface.

Our Courses
Introduction to Drilling
Fluids Systems
This course is a fundamental introduction to drilling fluids. The course will begin with introdutions to rig types, well architecture, circulating system, density and pressure, before going into greater detail with different fluid system types, key functions, additives, mixing processes, fluids testing procedures and the key properties required to ensure safe and efficient drilling outcomes.
Introduction to Drilling Solids
Control Theory & Technology
This course is a fundamental introduction to Drilling Solids Control, covering the crucial equipment and processes of Solids Control, focusing on how to effectively remove unwanted solid particles ("cuttings and fines") from the drilling fluid, and to maintain "mud" performance within desired specifications, while minimising non-productive time, reducing operational costs and ensuring well bore stability.
Introduction to Oil & Gas
Well Cementing
This course is a fundamental introduction to oil & gas well cementing, covering the critical process of well cementing. The course will discsuss everything from well architectures, cement types, cement additives, cement slurry / spacer deisgn and properties, primary & special cementing operations, cement slurry evaluation, trouble shooting, surface mixing & pumping equipment.
Introduction to Drilling
Waste Management
This course provides an overview of drilling waste management, focusing on the environmentally responsible methods used to handle, treat, and dispose of the "formation cuttings", (rock fragments)and formation cuttings ‘fines’, as well as as contaminated liquid effluent such as ‘slops’ which is generated during drilling operations.
