DURATION

1 - 3 days (variable)

DESIGNED FOR

The deep water drilling team (Rig and Shore based)

COURSE OVERVIEW

A practically orientated well/equipment-specific pre-spud event, involving group interaction and problem solving focusing on the well control challenges of the deep water well to be drilled with reference to the client's own policies and procedures. Morning classroom presentations, discussions and workshop sessions may be complemented by afternoons of realistic practical exercises on the rig floor simulator (programmed with client's well data if required), and enhanced via graphic demonstration using the "SideKick" advanced kick simulator.
