College of Petrochemical Engineering in Deir ez-Zor: Scientific symposium

Under the patronage of Professor Dr. Mounir Aroud, President of Al-Furat University

The College of Petrochemical Engineering invites you to attend a specialized scientific symposium in the field of drilling engineering entitled:

(Drilling technology and well design)

The geological engineer lectures

Amjad Allawi, CEO of DD Star Company for oil services, training and consultant in the field of well design

The symposium includes the following topics:

1. Introduction to Drilling Engineering:

 • Overview of drilling operations and their importance in the oil and gas industry.

 • History and evolution of drilling technology.

 • Drilling terminology and basic concepts.

2. Drilling Rig Systems and Equipment:

 • Drilling rig components and their functions (e.g., drawworks, rotary table, top drive, etc.).

 • Drilling tools and accessories (e.g., drill bits, stabilizers, reamers).

 • Rig operations and different types of rigs (land, offshore, and mobile rigs).

3. Well Design and Planning:

 • Wellbore trajectory design (vertical, directional, and horizontal drilling).

 • Design of drilling programs and well plans.

 • Wellbore stability considerations.

4. Drilling Fluids (Mud Engineering):

 • Types and functions of drilling fluids (water-based, oil-based, synthetic mud).

 • Properties of drilling fluids (viscosity, density, filtration).

 • Mud circulation and its role in maintaining wellbore stability and cooling the drill bit.

5. Drilling Operations:

 • Step-by-step process of drilling a well.

 • Hole cleaning, tripping, and casing operations.

 • Managing drilling parameters (weight on bit, rate of penetration, rotary speed).

6. Well Control:

 • Well control principles and equipment.

 • Kick detection and prevention.

 • Blowout preventer (BOP) systems and emergency procedures.

7. Drilling Optimization:

 • Techniques to improve rate of penetration (ROP).

 • Managing drilling costs and time.

 performance and efficiency.

This is on Tuesday 11/25/2025 at ten in the morning in the Ibn Al-Bitar Auditorium at the College of Agriculture

The symposium is accompanied by explanatory scientific videos related to the symposium topics
