For: Drilling managers, superintendents and engineers (or
their equivalent), who have responsibility for final results on
drilling operations. First-rate drilling supervisors with good math
skills are successful if they work diligently.
Diploma Awarded:
A special DIPLOMA OF DRILLING will be awarded to those who
satisfactorily complete the five weeks shown in bold print below,
along with any three of the remaining courses. Satisfactory
completion will require passing grades on daily homework assigned,
passing grades on comprehensive tests given at the end of each week,
and satisfactory class participation in the judgment of the
instructors. The diploma will reflect the class average attained and
the class standing of the delegate, if requested.
Structure of the College:
The College program is designed as a series of eight to ten
one-week courses, five of which are mandatory to cover the most
important elements of every drilling operation. A diploma is awarded
upon successful completion of three elective courses in addition to
the five required courses. From the elective category, delegates are
encouraged to select the three that are most relevant and
appropriate to their current assignment. This allows the elimination
of topics without immediate application or those for which duplicate
training has been received elsewhere. (Well Control is an absolute
necessity for successful drilling; it is listed here as an elective
because of the frequent availability to each delegate from local or
in-house instruction.)
Breaks
within the curriculum provide a much needed change from the
continual classroom schedule. Field trips or something similar could
be arranged for those “off” weeks, if desired.
Partial Attendance:
Registration may be transferred from one person to another, but
the College program must be attended wholly by each person enrolled.
If a delegate must drop out due to personal or company emergency,
provision will be made for make-up at a subsequent College.
Accommodations:
For each session, a group of sleeping rooms has been tentatively
reserved for participants. Our office will book rooms if a request
is made two weeks prior to course date. Rooms will not be guaranteed
for late arrival unless arrangements are made directly with the
hotel. Registration fee does not include meals or lodging, but a
light lunch is available for those who do not wish to go out.
Important Note:
All courses are limited in attendance in order to allow for
ample discussion and personal participation. This is doubly
important for this training series, which offers individual coaching
and testing. Each delegate should bring a hand-held calculator.
College Modules:
Course modules in red
are required for certification; others
are optional. However, please note that an accredited course in Well
Control must be completed in order to receive the DIPLOMA OF
DRILLING. It is listed here as an elective because it is often
available locally or in-house through many companies.
