Drilling Engineering Design
Intention of the course:
This course is a “hands on” lab oriented lecture, which involves design and experimental work. The course level is mainly for undergraduate but graduate students may attend as well.
3 weeks course (6 credit hours)
15 teaching days
30 modules
- 15 lecturing modules
- 15 laboratory modules
Course Description:
The student will first be introduced to drilling engineering and drilling rigs to understand the engineering requirements for a particular drilling problem. In a second step the basic mechanical components of a drilling rig and their working principles will be explained. The student will develop an understanding of hoisting, rotating and pumping equipment. An introduction to electric machines and automation will be given to complete the general overview of all mechatronic components required to design and build a drilling rig.
This information will allow the participant to select components, which are able to fulfill the previously defined requirement specifications and lead into a design competition to develop a drilling machine by individual engineering teams. The final design will outline a drilling machine, based on the specifications developed, its mechanical and electric components, as well as sensors and automation components.
The work is completed with an implementation plan, as well as lab experiments with selected components.
