  WELCOME TO THE COURSE

  Welcome, students! In this micro-credential course, we will explore the fascinating world of petroleum production. You’ll learn where petroleum originates, the geological conditions required for its formation, and the processes involved in bringing crude oil to the surface. We will also examine the major systems of a drilling rig and how each component works together to safely and efficiently extract petroleum. This course is designed to give you a clear, structured understanding of the entire journey, from the science behind petroleum formation to the technology used in modern drilling operations. Whether you’re new to the field or expanding your knowledge, this topic will provide a strong foundation for further study in energy and petroleum engineering.

  Topic 3: Drilling Operation

  Now let’s jump into the exciting part! After exploring the theories and geological requirements, it’s time to reveal the powerhouse systems that drive real drilling operations. While modern rigs use five major systems, in this topic we’ll zoom in on three key ones: the lifting system, the hoisting system, and the circulating system.
