    Drillstring Design - RILS

    This is a Remote Instructor Led Series training, all training sessions will be delivered online with no face-to-face classroom attendance.                                                                            

    Each day's sessions will be of maximum 4 hrs per day.   

    The course provides a comprehensive treatment of drill string design as well as the avoidance of operational problems and wear on equipment following the API recommended practices for design and operating limitations as well as an overview of the standard DS1 for design and inspection.

    BHA design concepts are investigated, with emphasis on practical engineering calculations and safe operating procedures. Industry standards are used as training aids to supplement the presentation material and provide a thorough understanding of drill string components, designs, operating limits and working practices.
