DRILL STRING FAILURE Course

The course will address the basics of drill string components and their mechanical properties. A detailed analysis of the drill string failure mechanisms and actions to minimize the possibility of a failure will be presented and discussed. The importance of the correct handling of the drill string and the description of the various types of inspection that can be performed.

COURSE DURATION: 2 days

​

LEVEL: Advanced
