Course Objective:

The course is designed to introduce the student to the selection and operation of drilling bits. The course emphasized in various bit types available, criteria for selecting the best bit for a given situation, standard methods for evaluating dull bits, factors affecting bit wear and drilling speed, optimization of bit weight and rotary speed.

Participants will be able to make complete design for the drill string and the factors that affect on the design.
