Drilling Engineering is part of petroleum engineering.

Drilling engineers design and implement procedures to drill wells as safely and securely as possible. They work closely with drilling contractors, service contractors, and compliance personnel, as well as with geologists and other technical specialists. Drilling engineers have a responsibility to ensure that costs are minimized while obtaining information to evaluate penetrating formations, protecting the health and safety of workers and other personnel, and protecting the environment.

Overview

Planning phases involved in drilling oil or gas wells typically involve estimating the value of the reserve sought, estimating the cost of accessing reserves, acquiring properties with mineral leases, geological surveys, drilling well plans, and layout of the type of equipment needed to reach the depth of the well. Drilling engineers are responsible for the planning and drilling process of the well. Their responsibilities include:

Designing programs well (eg, casing size and depth of setting) to prevent bursts (uncontrolled release of fluids) while allowing adequate formation evaluation
Design or contribute to the casing string design and cement plan, directional drilling plan, drill fluid program, and string drill program and drill bit
Specifies the equipment, materials and ratings and values â€‹â€‹to be used in the drilling process
Provide technical support and audit during drilling process
Conduct cost estimation and analysis
Develop contracts with vendors

Drilling engineers are often downgraded as petroleum engineers, although they may come from other technical disciplines (eg mechanical engineering or geology) and then trained by oil and gas companies. They may also have practical experience as a hand rig or mudlogger or a mud engineer.
