Competency Management Consulting
A highly Skilled Workforce is vital to a company’s competitiveness and business success. Employees needs to have relevent and up-to-date skills to respond to market changes and increasing customer demands. In short, a competent and versatile work force will make a vital contribution to the company’s overall performance.
Competence is the ability to perform occupational activities to the standards expected in employment.
To be competent, an individual employee must have the necessary experience skills, knowledge, attitude and ability to apply these in his/her job.
Competence is, therefore about the performance in the work place rather than knowledge alone.

Guided Learning Hours
Unit descriptionOn an average drill bits contribute less than ten percent of total drilling cost. However types of bits to be used and conditions at which they are going to be operated can have significant effect on drilling time, consequently on total drilling cost. The largest manufacturer of drill bits makes 34 types and 33 sizes and many more on request.
With more than three hundred slides and illustrations you will learn and develop a systematic way on how to select the most suitable bit for your own case by employing modern techniques and analyzing previous bit records from your own field.
Learning outcomesIntroduction to drill bits & Diamond Bits
Roller Cone Bits & Dull Bit Grading
Bit Operation
Practical Session- In this activity, Galle and Woods analytical method will be practiced to determine the optimum operating parameters for a given bit based on previous drill bit records. Participants will be asked to determine the optimum weight on bit and the rotary speed to achieve minimum cost drilling.
Practical Session- The graphical interpretation technique will be practiced to determine the optimum weight on bit and optimum rotary speed. A set of hypothetical drilling record will be given by the instructor. However, the participants are encouraged to bring their own field records.
Bit Performance analysis & Drill Bit Hydraulics
Practical Session- Participants will be given a set of data from a real drill off test. They are expected to construct a chart of ROP vs. WOB diagram. They then, will analyze the chart to diagnose whether or not there is any bit balling problem and any need for improvement in bit hydraulics.
Practical Session- Participants will determine the optimum jet bit nozzle size (s) to maximize bit hydraulics horse power. For this problem they will be given a hypothetical pump pressure versus circulation rate data.
