Course Objective

This course provides drilling management team members with the analytical tools needed to quantify the performance and the cost of solids control operations.  More importantly, the course explains the linkage between solids control, drilling fluids, and fluid related drilling waste.  A comprehensive approach is taught so that those attending will understand how changing solids control practices will affect drilling fluids cost and waste disposal costs.  The course aims to cut through the clutter of metrics used to report solids control performance enabling solids control best practices to be identified so that drilling costs are lowered without compromising drilling performance.
