Well Control and Drilling - Surface or Combined - Supervisor or Driller

Well control and drilling
A new set of courses now available through ESD Simulation Training is certified by the IWCF, a widely accepted benchmark for certification of personnel working the drilling, workover and well intervention operations.  Competency in Well Control for both Wellsite and Office-based Personnel is of paramount importance, and a contractual obligation of Drilling Contractors and Service Personnel. 

This intensive 5-day hands-on course uses computer simulation, CBT+ videos and interactive workshops, with an external examination held on the fifth day. The courses will cover all three topics on which the examination is based - Equipment, Principles & Procedures, and Practical. The written examinations will be controlled by an invigilator nominated by the IWCF. The IWCF examination is valid for two years and is completed on two levels - Driller and Supervisor. Additionally two categories are addressed - Surface and Combined (Subsea). The course will serve as a refresher for individuals previously certified, as well as a detailed introduction for those without previous knowledge of Well Control practices.
