Drilling and Workover Hydraulics

Maximize penetration rates, minimize formation damage and ensure hole stability through the proper application of drilling hydraulics principles. Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to determine the pressure losses that occur in the rig circulating system, use basic calculation methods to determine optimal bit nozzle size, annular velocity and other rig hydraulics parameters, and diagnose drilling problems resulting from poor hydraulics practices.
