ADS
drilling instructors act as rig-site coaches to help bridge knowledge
and experience gaps of Operator, Drilling Contractor and Service Company
personnel
The goal
To provide practical training on the steps the rig team can take to prevent,
reduce
and manage well control incidents on the rig
The environment
This is especially important in wells with major hole challenges such
as DEEPWATER and HPHT
environments where operating margins are smaller and kick detection more
critical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
Well
control issues are tackled by facilitating brief (approx 1-hr) sessions
with drill crews and service hands at the end of each tour
•
This
is supplemented by appropriate coaching sessions on the rig floor, mud
logging unit, shakers etc
•
Drills
such as stripping, well control response and fingerprinting techniques
are taught in a practical sense both in and outside of the classroom
•
Several
trips to the well site (lasting 4-5 days each) may be required to allow
time to reinforce and refresh drilling practices and provide an
opportunity to assess the impact of the training
