This two-day course provides a non-technical overview of the phases, operations, and terminology used in of the drilling and completion of an onshore oil or gas well. It is intended for non-drilling personnel who work with drilling professionals (e.g. accounting, administrative, and support staff, environmentalists, landmen, stock analysts, etc).  No prior experience of knowledge of drilling operation is required.  The course will provide participants with a better understanding of issues faced in all aspects of onshore drilling operations. For a course related to offshore drilling operations, we recommend the "Introduction to Offshore Drilling" course.
