IADC WellSharp Supervisor Level Well Control (Surface)

The IADC WellSharp “Well Control for Drilling Operations – for Supervisors” course has been designed for toolpushers, drilling engineers, drilling supervisors, superintendents, drilling foremen, company men and others with a requirement to hold an accredited well control certificate at Supervisory level. The training is role-specific and is focused on well kill procedures.

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 Well Control course is essential training for those working in wellsite supervisory roles and for office-based personnel that are primarily involved in the operational decision-making process and/or well design. 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 4 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: > Drilling, Workover, Completion Plan-Awareness > Well Control Drills > Well Control Concepts > Shut In Procedures & Verification > Mud & Pit Management > Post Shut In Monitoring & Activities > Pre-Recorded Data > Risk Management > Kick Prevention during Drilling, Casing & Cementing Operations > Well Control Methods > Barriers > Equipment > Shallow Gas, Water Flows & Tophole Drilling > Extract of Subsea Elements > Abnormal Pressure Warning Signs > Kick Detection > Hands-on simulation exercises will be conducted
