IWCF Drilling Well Control Drillers (Level 3)



Introduction:


The IWCF Level 3 Drilling Well Control course is essential training for those currently working in a role that is expected to shut-in a well. The course aims to reinforce and improve the candidate’s existing knowledge and appreciation of the various stages of shutting-in a well; from kick detection to shutting in the well, to monitoring once the well is shut in and monitoring the well-kill operation. This program is designed for people in critical well control positions on drilling installations as well as onshore roles. The standards in the syllabus are based on the practical skills and knowledge required for level 3. Performance criteria have been developed for each of the standards contained in the syllabus. 

Course Objectives:


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

 

  • Understand the need for well control training and assessment.
  • Understand what hydrostatic pressure is
  • Understand well barrier philosophy in drilling and workover operations
  • Know what is meant by the term kick warning sign
  • Understand pressure losses around a circulating system
  • Learn the principles and procedures used in well control operations with surface or subsea BOP stack as described in the IWCF Rotary Well Control Surface & Subsea BOP Stack Certification Syllabus
  • Use the equipment for well control operations with surface or subsea BOP stack as described in the IWCF Rotary Well Control Surface & Subsea BOP Stack Certification Syllabus
  • Learn that a well control situation can be mastered by use of simulator according to IWCF standards
