This book offers you a brief, but very involved look into the operations in the drilling of an oil & gas wells that will help you to be prepared for job interview at oil & gas companies. From start to finish, you'll see a general prognosis of the drilling process. If you are new to the oil & gas industry, you'll enjoy having a leg up with the knowledge of these processes. If you are a seasoned oil & gas person, you'll enjoy reading what you may or may not know in these pages. This course provides a non-technical overview of the phases, operations and terminology used on offshore drilling platforms. It is intended also for non-drillling personnel who work in the offshore drilling, exploration and production industry. This includes marine and logistics personnel, accounting, administrative and support staff, environmental professionals, etc. No prior experience or knowledge of drilling operations is required. This course will provide participants a better understanding of the issues faced in all aspects of drilling operations, with a particular focus on the unique aspects of offshore operations.
