MATHS RESOURCES FOR THE
DRILLING INDUSTRY
Are you
confident your calculations are right? Here’s help.
ADITC has
just completed a new training resource. It is used to help
drilling industry personnel to get necessary maths skills for
methods of drilling, whether they are new employees or experienced
and just want to brush up.
Methods
covered are:
- conventional
coring,
- wireline
coring,
- mud
rotary,
- cable
tool,
- air,
- continuous
flight auger,
- large
diameter auger,
- guided
boring,
- directional
drilling,
- down hole
hammer,
- top hole
hammer.
It is
especially useful for drillers’ assistants to make sure they
understand and can do drilling-related maths. It can be used
to teach or refresh maths skills in general, or as part of a
company’s structured training.
Topics
which can be chosen are:
- calculating hook loads and
mast loads;
- drill
string length and drill bit weights;
- depth of
hole.
- volume;
- flow
rate;
- specific
gravity;
- cementing
and grouting,
- converting
measurements,
- pressure;
- up-hole
velocity;
- travel
times, speed and distance;
- fuel
consumption;
The
resource is a CD. It will not require high computing power or
high computer skills. It can be printed out but is not primarily a
paper-based resource. It presents practical examples of maths
areas needed, and allows you to input answers. You can check for
answers for accuracy.
It is based
on the “Method of Drilling” units in the new training package
DRT03. It can be used by companies or individuals for
training related to the qualifications in DRT03, just for general
training. It applies to all sectors at Certificate II and III
levels – to all drillers’ assistants and drillers.
Cost of $47
includes GST and postage in Australia.
