Frequently, new geologists are placed on drilling projects with very little understanding of the drilling operation. In order to effectively contribute to managing the project, geologists require at least a basic level of understanding of drilling principles and the drilling operation as a whole.

This course, provided by Colin Rice, will provide newly qualified geologists, that have had little or no exposure to drilling operations, with a fundamental understanding of selected aspects of a drilling operation.

The course is a combination of online, self-directed learning and virtual contact sessions where concepts can be discussed and clarified, questions can be answered, and practical applications of the concepts can be discussed. Delegates will have access to a discussion forum, printable notes in pdf format and support sessions throughout the course.

This course has 4 x half day virtual contact sessions which will be presented on 9, 16, 23 February and 2 March 2021.
