Course aims

The subject is devoted to drilling techniques and individual types of drilling. The main part of the subject gives an overall overview of the techniques used in the execution of drilling operations, including the classification of drilling rigs, their main functional units and the presentation of each type of drilling rig and its accessories. It also discusses the current state of development and upgrading of drilling rigs and presents it on specific types of drilling rigs. It also discusses guidelines for the innovation of drilling rigs and drilling equipment and prospects for further technological development. Of the drilling technology, the subject focuses on the dissemination of rocks during drilling, the construction and work of drilling tools and the drilling regime, as well as on the construction and stresses of drilling and casing strings, the ways of conducting drilling cement and insulation of layers, the ways of purging wells and drilling media, the issues of spontaneous drilling curves and drilling failures and accidents.
