2. This five day Practical Approach to Drilling Fluids Engineering Course aims to first provide a comprehensive overview of the functions
of drilling fluids, and provide the in-depth knowledge for participants learn to design a mud system.The course content covers both
water-based and oil-based mud systems. Participants will be able to gain the knowledge in chemistry part for drilling fluids, such as
clay chemistry, polymers chemistry, and rheology. The course is delivered in a daily presentation format, with practical instruction
given. Course materials will contain detailed attached notes to form a basic manual.
The course is based on a balanced combination of classroom teaching, workshop sessions and syndicate exercises supported by
practical and exercises within the industrial environment. This course is designed in with leading industry knowledge and practical
case studies discussion and analysis to provide an interactive learning environment.

Course Overview
PRACTICAL APPROACH TO DRILLING FLUIDS ENGINEERING
25-29 May 2015, Bandung, Indonesia
Stan has over 48 years involved in drilling fluids , drilling fluid technology, solids control management, well control, fluid, fluid design
for deepwater, water base shale inhibition, and non-aqueous fluid application. He worked as a senior technical advisor involved with
trouble-shooting field problems and introduction of technical innovation for practical field application. Stan was a chairman for 2 very
successful ACS Continuing Education Courses in Houston: “Advances in Surface and Colloid Chemistry” and Advances in Analytical
Measurement,”both held at Rice University. (1977-78). He is the first choice when it comes to drilling fluids technology training because
he has many years of practical experience; working with serveral multinational company for nearly 25 years; along with 15 years of
professional reseacher chemist in Texaco and Magcobar.
Training Experiences:
Provided training and technical support to numerous clients including Shell, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Statoil, BP, GSPC,
Chevron, Maersk Oil and Gas, PEMEX, British Gas etc.
Pesented specialized seminars to clients on practical hole cleaning, gas solubility of oil base drilling fluids, preventing lost
circulation, inhibition of water base drilling fluids, effective/efficient solids management, designing fluids for deepwater
application, as well as presentations to introduce new technology (SIGMADRIL, SILDRIL, ULTRADRIL, WARP, DRILPLEX).
Practical Experiences:
Designed and built a lubricity evaluation monitor (1975-1976) to evaluate lubricity performance in drilling fluids.
Developed two commercially successful state-of-the art mud lubricants, Magcolube and Bit Lube II.
Introduced various inhibitive water base systems to Conoco field operations such as Lime MorRex, PHPA/KCl, glycol, and
silicate inhibitive water base fluids.
Involved in research and development silicates as a high performance inhibitive fluid (Conoco/DuPont commercial product,
WBS-200)
Responsible for the successful introduction and field application of silicate technology for M-I Swaco (SILDRIL); over 300 wells
were drilled successfully from 1994-2001 (UK, Norway, Pakistan, Australia, India, Middle East, Israel, Vietnam, South Africa,
Tunisia, Austria, Germany, Egypt, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, etc.)
