We provide course about IWCF level 2 drilling well control (surface & subsea). The aim of this course is to provide a basic understanding of the features of drilling a well and the fundamental principles involved in maintaining well control.
Content:
The course is delivered through presentation of a series of interactive lectures supported by videos and animations, supplemented by a classroom workbook and further self-study exercises. Where available, candidates are also introduced to drilling simulation with the use of a range of simulators including the DS5 drilling software which allows candidates put the well control theory into practice. The course is delivered over 4 days and includes IWCF written assessments on the final day.
Target group:
The level 2 course is designed for candidates currently working in roles which may directly contribute to the creation, detection or control of a well influx. Level 2 drilling well control training and certification is recommended for those working in roles such as Roughneck, Derrickman, Barge Engineer, BOP / subsea engineer, Mud logger or wellsite drilling data engineer, and many others.
Please note: IWCF training levels 2 to 4 are designed to be sequential and first-time candidates are expected to complete level 2 before progressing to level 3 or 4. However, the training levels are also designed to be role-specific and dependent on the candidate’s work experience. For guidance and advice on which level of training you are eligible for, please get in touch.
