Course Description
This 5-day intensive training is designed for supervisors, engineers, and critical personnel responsible for well intervention operations and well control decision-making. The course covers well control methods, influx characteristics, pressure management, and emergency response procedures to ensure well integrity during intervention.
This course is only a preparation for the IWCF certification. The fee does not include practical and written assessments. Certification application is to be done by the participants.
Course Objectives
- Understand well intervention pressure control principles and their applications
- Identify the accountabilities of program signatories in well control operations
- Recognize the causes and effects of unplanned inflow and its impact on well stability
- Analyze influx characteristics, gas migration, and shut-in procedures effectively
- Explain well control techniques including lubricate & bleed, bullheading, and circulation methods
- Identify potential well blockages and effective troubleshooting techniques
- Assess the integrity of well control equipment such as BOPs, annular preventers, and completion tools
Who Should Attend?
- Wellsite Supervisors
- Drilling Engineers
- Completions Engineers
- Coiled Tubing and Snubbing Specialists
