This program is aimed at people who are in critical well control positions during well intervention operations. Participants must fulfill the prerequisite requirements of this course having IWCF level 3 Drilling certificate. The course covers topics such as well control methods and influx characteristics. Shut-in procedure is also discussed.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

  • To be able to identify the accountabilities of program signatories
  • To know the causes and effects of unplanned inflow
  • To be able to recognize potential causes of losses
  • To be able to define gas migration
  • To describe how the lubricates and bleed methods can be applied
  • To detect a possible blockage anywhere in the well
