Course Description
With so much that goes into the proper preparation and setup of a well, rig, and drilling, all the safety needs would appear to fall to those areas. However, maintenance is another crucial element to well and drilling safety. Drilling equipment endures a great deal of stress and pressure during operations that may lead to wear and tear. Negligence of the maintenance of the structure and the equipment could cause workplace incidents that lead to injuries or death.
In this course on Petroleum Well Maintenance, we will cover why maintenance is just as important for the safety of the equipment as it is for the workers who operate it. We will discuss the maintenance considerations and issues for each part of the rig and drill. We will also offer best practices to avoid injuries at every level and stage.
What You'll Learn
