IWCF Level 2 Drilling Well Control

IWCF-WC2

Overview:
The aim of the IWCF Level 2 Drilling Well Control course is to provide candidates with an understanding of the features of drilling a well and the fundamental principles involved in maintaining well control.

Designed For:
The Level 2 (Introductory) 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. To view the full list of recommended job titles, please refer to the IWCF website: www.iwcf.org/programmes.

>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.

Course Delivery:
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.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Understand the geological implications & summarise the process involved in constructing a well
Identify the causes, warning signs, indicators and hazards associated with an influx
Describe the procedure for securing the well and then removing an influx
Complete all relevant oilfield calculations
List the main features, functions and purposes of well control equipment
Explain the concepts of the barrier envelope and the management of risk
Describe the principles underpinning the constant bottom hole pressure methods of well kill
Using a simulator, identify a kick and shut a well in

Indicative Course Content
The course covers the following modules:

Well Control Concepts

Mud and the Mud Weight Window
Types of mud, functions of mud, operating within the mud weight window
Causes of Kicks
Mud weight, losses, failure to keep the hole full, swabbing and surging, abnormal formation pressure
Abnormal Pressure Warning Signs
