Introduction:

Every day, the Oil and Gas exploration companies work hard to explore for and produce hydrocarbons on which we depend on in a way that protects the health and safety of the oil workers and the communities in which these companies operate. They focus their expertise and energies on keeping the operations safe and reliable while minimizing effect on the environment. With Competent Health and Safety Personnel who drives this force, the Oil and Gas Exploration Industries will continue to be a safe place to workers. The conventional oil and gas well industry calls for highly specialized safety services. As the technologies for onshore and offshore drilling, completion and production evolve, so does the demand for expert health, safety and environment monitoring. HSE has the people and the equipment to safeguard workers, assets, and the environment, and ensure compliance with all applicable government, industry, and corporate standards and codes of practice. HSE services are handled by seasoned professionals with decades of international experience.

The course provides training in the understanding and interpretation of HSE Regulations related to drilling and wells. The course focuses on a number of key elements including the design of drilling facilities, well construction, drilling operations and maintenance. The course explains how drilling and completion operations are planned and executed to meet all HSE objectives, maximize well productivity, and cater for future work over and intervention needs. HSE concepts and methods are presented together with down-hole equipment, tools and their selection criteria

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

• Apply the latest HSE protective measures in drilling operations, well completion, well stimulation, work over and intervention
• Recognize tubing pressure losses of different rock & fluid properties and corrosion/erosion potential
• Correctly set and operate casings, tubing’s and well head equipment
• Identify and consider wellbore, casing, tubing and packer issues on vertical, horizontal, and multilateral completions
• Discuss well integrity and HSE risks associated with perforation of oil and gas wells, including fishing, stimulation, fracturing, well testing and wire-line operations
