From 5 - 9 November 2012, Cebo organizes together with Baroid IDP and Herrenknecht the Mudschool. This year the course is held in the Holiday Inn hotel in Leiden.

The purpose of this 5-day course is to acquaint end users with the wide range of Baroid products and technics that are used in Horizontal Directional Drilling or Micro Tunneling Drilling. Participants will see how drilling mud can contribute to a smooth drilling operation, whether drilling horizontally or vertically.

The workshop curriculum includes lectures, demonstrations and hands-on laboratory exercises. Each topic is aimed at promoting a greater understanding of the correct use and application of drilling fluids and lubrication / support. In conjunction with scheduled lecture and laboratory topics additional discussions concerning field applications and specific problems are conducted. The workshop participants involvement is greatly encouraged.

Cebo offers two workshops:
1) Horizontal Directional Drilling
2) Micro Tunneling

The aim of the mudschool is to provide the end users with the knowledge and skills to get the best drilling mud with the help of the range of products that Cebo and Baroid can offer and also to deliver solutions for efficient and, most importantly, profitable drilling projects.
