Welcome to Texas Petroleum Institute. The oilfield is changing everyday with more technical and career advantages, and the need for Drilling Fluid Specialists (Mud Engineers) is greater than ever. Your opportunity is "NOW". Drilling Fluid Specialists, aka mud men, are one of the "key" personnel on a drilling rig. A tenured Drilling Fluid Specialist has a broad spectrum of what is going on not only on the surface but also what down hole is telling them by the properties of the drilling fluid and other elements that are coming up from the earth. Their main job is to create the best/safest possible drilling fluid to work in the advantage of drilling rather than against it. We are here to put you on that path to a successful, rewarding and high paying career. We specialize in preparing our students with as many tools as possible, to excel and advance as soon as they hit the field. Combining over 15 years experience in the oilfield as Mud Engineers and Wellsite Supervisors, our two instructors have attained a very high level of knowledge from their direct hands on experience through out the years and have trained many oilfield and non-oilfield hands into quality drilling fluid specialists along the way. That can be YOU! Check our site for available classes today! www.txdfi.com
