? Overview of the drilling operation: This chapter will give a basic introduction about drilling engineering, aim of drilling technology, different types of drilling and drilled wells. Also it will give a history of starting operation and the steps of the drilling process. ? Drilling Rig: This chapter describes the six major sub-systems of a drilling rig and the function of each system. ? Drilling fluid: List and describe the functions of drilling fluids and the properties which influence the capability of the fluid to achieve these functions. Describe the most important properties of drilling fluids. Describe the principle issues considered when programming a drilling fluid. List the various generic types of drilling fluid and the composition of these fluids. ? Drillstring: To drill a hole continuously, the longer drillstring is required. So, there is different parts are adding to the drillstring to carry bit, transfer power and circulate mud. This chapter will describe the basic components and the function of each component in the drillstring. ? Drill bit: Describe the basic types of drillbit and the differences between a Diamond, Roller Cone and a PDC Bit ? Hydraulics: Describe the principle functions of a drilling fluid and the objectives of optimizing the hydraulics of the circulation system. Describe the impact of hydraulic horsepower on the penetration of a drillbit.
