An IWCF enhanced practical assessment and standard written examination is an integral part of the program. |
The program includes classroom tutoring, case studies and simulated activities. The course content goes beyond basic well control knowledge and includes topics that have not been previously covered in IWCF/IADC certified courses. The teambased scenario exercises involve a high level of interaction and teamwork. |
Aims & Course content |
Well control principles and procedures: – barrier concepts – risk management – causes of kicks – kick warning signs and indicators – facture pressure and maximum surface pressure – well control methods – influx characteristics and behavior – shut-in procedures
– function, operation, inspection and most common problems – Choke and kill manifold configuration and testing – BOP control systems – BOP testing requirements and safe working procedures – recognizing symptoms which indicate malfunctions or the need to inspect, maintain or repair well control equipment |
A selection of the following topics forms the basis for the program content:
– Volumetric stripping
– Barrier management
– Gas migration
– Displacement/circulation
– Equipment malfunction
– Inspection and maintenance
– Industry norms and standards
– Testing procedures
– Human factors (crew resource management)
