Online learning for dispute resolution or Drilling technical subjects
eLearning modules for legal, insurance and other professionals involved in Drilling related disputes. Also Drilling technical subjects for Drilling professionals. All are free to take. All are designed to take up to 30 minutes. You can view a short video showing how to navigate here.
These might not work in Firefox. Investigating this. Please try another browser if it doesn't load.
Please send an email to OLL@drilling-expert.legal if you want to take any or all of these free lessons. I only ask you to do this once. You can use this same email for any bug reports. This is only to allow me to understand how many people use these lessons, rather than having to set up a log-in facility.
Basic well control theory (BWC)
There are 4 modules covering hydrostatic pressures, how a well is drilled with a surface BOP, kick causes, initial response, basic calculations.
You must be able to calculate hydrostatic pressures. Happily it's not complicated.
Drilling Cost Reduction (DCR)
Anyone involved in planning and drilling wells. Drilling engineers, superintendents, logistics etc. There are currently 12 modules dealing with reducing drilling costs. See feedback from the first course delegate.
Introduces some basic concepts. Take this first. Obviously.
