IADC WellSharp Driller Level Well Control
The IADC WellSharp Driller Level 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. Designed For The IADC WellSharp “Well Control for Drilling Operations – for Drillers” course has been designed for anyone expected to shut-in a well, such as drillers and assistant drillers. Course Delivery The course is delivered over 5 days through presentation of a series of interactive lectures supported by videos and animations, supplemented by a classroom workbook and further self-study exercises and practical work on a drilling simulator. Under the WellSharp programme and unlike IWCF training, IADC Driller Level candidates are taught completely separately from IADC Supervisor Level candidates and will not be in a mixed class. The course ends with an online assessment on the final day which will be administered by IADC and invigilated by an independent proctor. Learning Objectives At the end of this course, participants will be able to: Indicative Course Content The course covers the following modules: Prerequisites Prior IWCF or IADC certification at Introductory or Driller Level is recommended but not mandatory. The training is role-specific so previous experience in an assistant driller or driller role during drilling operations is assumed. Please contact us to discuss candidate suitability if you have any doubts or queries. Certificate Candidates may select either “Combined” (Surface & Subsea) or “Surface Only” BOP Stack certification. Successful completion of the course and a pass mark of 70% or above in the practical simulator assessment and the online written assessment will result in IADC WellSharp Diller Level certification which is valid for two years.
