Introduction
London School of Energy Studies (LSES) is an Education, Consulting

& Training provider in the energy industry having a global footprint
in locations such as London, India and UAE and associations with
training facilitators across Asia, North Africa and ME.
Our Vision to be a global leader in energy knowledge domain with stateof-the-art facilities across the world to provide world-class education,
training, and consultancy services in the energy and petroleum
industries.
We are a finishing school aimed at filling the gap in the oil & gas sector,
through Job oriented trainings and a 360 Degree development of our
students. We train the students to be Job Ready by the time they
pass out of any of our LSES. We are headquartered in London, with
representative offices currently in Dubai and Bangalore with training
facilities in Cochin.
Our students have access to the best faculty from across the globe
and also industry experts who share the experiences in the industry
with the students. We have conducted so far TWO Joint Conferences
Seminars with IIT Madras. The first seminar on the Talent Crisis in the
Oil & Gas Industry was held at the IIT Madras campus and attended
by companies from across the globe including Schlumberger, Statoil,
Shell , IOCL , Weatherford, ONGC , etc. The second one was on
Unconventional Oil & Gas resources and world renowned keynote
speakers from around world participated.
LSES aims to play an active role in addressing the talent gap facing the
Oil and Gas Industry and facilitates this through active programs for
individuals and corporates.
LSES is supported and advised by an International Advisory board.

Business Objectives
Background
A highly Skilled Workforce is vital to a companys
competitiveness and business success. Employees

needs to have relevent and up-to-date skills to
respond to market changes and increasing customer
demands. In short, a competent and versatile work
force will make a vital contribution to the companys
overall performance.
Competence is the ability to perform occupational

activities to the standards expected in employment.
To be competent, an individual employee must have

the necessary experience skills, knowledge, attitude
and ability to apply these in his/her job.
Occupational Area
Competence is, therefore about the performance in

the work place rather than knowledge alone.

reviewing their strategies.
Strategies need to be designed in such a way as to achieve

competitive advantage. Both the strategies and the nature
of competitive advantage are dependent on, and need to
be aligned to, what the business is and what the business
does. There are a number of operational and emerging
issues that impact upon business strategy, and students
will learn how sustainable and ethical considerations have
an increasing impact on strategy.

Unit description
On an average drill bits contribute less than ten percent
of total drilling cost. However types of bits to be used and
conditions at which they are going to be operated can have
significant effect on drilling time, consequently on total
drilling cost. The largest manufacturer of drill bits makes 34
types and 33 sizes and many more on request.
With more than three hundred slides and illustrations you

will learn and develop a systematic way on how to select the
most suitable bit for your own case by employing modern
techniques and analyzing previous bit records from your
own field.
