IADC WellSharp Supervisor Level Drilling + Workover/Completion (Surface)

The IADC WellSharp Supervisor Level Drilling course including the Workover/Completions supplement is designed for drilling personnel working in a supervisory role and engaged in completion and workover operations.

Prior IADC or IWCF certification at Driller or Supervisor Level is required. The training is role-specific so previous experience in a supervisory role during drilling operations is assumed. Please contact us to discuss candidate suitability if you have any doubts or queries.

The IADC WellSharp Supervisor Level Drilling course including the Workover/Completions supplement is essential training for those primarily involved in the operational decision-making process of well control during drilling, workover, and completion operations. The course aims to build on the Driller Level course content (including kick detection and shut-in) and focus on more complex aspects of well control and well kill methodology.

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. The following topics will be covered during this course: • Workover and completion fundamentals • Definitions and calculations • Causes and detection • Procedures for shut-in and determining pressures • Gas characteristics and behavior • Organizing a well kill operation • Techniques for killing a producing well • Complications and solutions • Workover and completion equipment (surface and subsurface) • Workover and completion fluids • Government and industry standards and regulations • Hands-on simulation exercises will be conducted
