Essentials of Plug & Abandonment
This 2-day Essentials of Plug & Abandonment course aims to provide participants with an enhanced understanding of the principles, methodologies, practicalities and risks associated with well abandonment. The course offers a review of the underlying principles of well abandonment before considering the concepts involved in a temporary abandonment (suspension) and subsequent abandonment requirements needed for an increasing inventory of ageing wells. Designed For This course has been designed for technical personnel outside of the plug & abandonment industry, such as those from drilling, production, workover, facilities management, and QHSE departments. Course Delivery Conducted over 2 days, the course is delivered through presentation of a series of interactive lectures supported by videos and animations, case studies, group exercises and discussions. Learning Objectives At the end of this course, participants will be able to Indicative Course Content The course covers the following modules: Prerequisites There are no formal pre-requisites for this type of training. For in-house training, candidate suitability and assumed base knowledge will be discussed and agreed with the client in the early stages of course development.
Authorised Gas Tester (OPITO)
This course is accredited to the OPITO Authorised Gas Tester standard and has been designed to equip delegates with the knowledge to conduct gas testing within confined spaces and awareness of associated confined hazards. The authorised gas tester role is critical in testing for and ensuring safe working atmospheres, in particular: permit-controlled confined spaces, and prior to and during hot work. Our course has been developed in bitesize learning chunks for each topic. At the end of each module, there will be an assessment. Delegates will need to pass each module at 80 percent or above. When you pass the course, you will be issued with a certificate which is valid for 3 years. The aim of this course is to teach you the requirements associated with gas detection. On successful completion, you will have the basic knowledge necessary to allow you to operate as an Authorised Gas Tester. You will be given two attempts at each module, and you must score 80 percent to pass. Learning Objectives
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.
International Minimum Industry Safety Training
IMIST (International Minimum Industry Safety Training) is an OPITO standard which supports the global Oil and Gas Industry to meet safety initiative targets. IMIST online is an interactive e-Learning training programme that works by assessing the safety knowledge of an oil and gas worker during a random sequence of assessment questions. At the end of this assessment, which is completed under time-bound conditions, the programme will automatically and dynamically assemble a unique course for each individual based on their knowledge gaps identified in the pre-assessment. The candidate is then presented with this content and the relevant summative assessment questions. This process is repeated until the candidate has managed to answer all the assessment questions correctly. A 100% pass mark is required to complete the IMIST programme. Course Content
