In this course you will learn about some more complex physical principles that will enable you to better understand the limitations and application of certain types of equipment in drilling operations. You will learn about the design of drill rods and drillpipe, the factors that affect the strength of drill rods and drillpipe and you will learn some fundamentals of steel wire ropes.
This course consists of 7 modules:
Module 1: More physical priniciples
