DIRECTIONAL DRILLING CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

About this certificate program

Directional drilling is beginning to play an increasingly important role in the exploration drilling industry and so this certificate program has been designed to provide candidates with the necessary knowledge of available directional drilling equipment and understanding of directional drilling concepts to allow them to correctly plan a directional borehole and select the most appropriate equipment to drill the borehole. The program focusses on theoretical aspects of directional drilling only, it is not intended as a qualification as a directional driller.

Who should register?

This certificate program is designed for geologists, supervisors, engineers and senior drillers who need to improve their level of understanding of directional drilling concepts so that they can accurately plan and execute a directional drilling operation.

Drilling Fundamentals
Introduction to Drilling Methods
Common Drilling Calculations
The Use of Drilling Fluids in Exploration Drilling
Fundamentals of Borehole Surveying

Before you register...

This certificate program is designed to prepare candidates to conduct a full and thorough inspection of a drill rig and ancillary drilling equipment. This program is therefore only offered as an "assessed' option.
Course assessments require that candidates have a good level of experience and have access to a production or exploration drilling operation. Candidates who do not have access to an active drilling operation should not register for this program.
This certificate program involves some relatively complex trigonometry and geometry and so it is essential that candidates have a good grasp of these concepts and an above average mathematical ability.

Registration

The cost of this Certificate Program is AUD 1608
