To meet your needs, this course is available in both face-to-face and distance learning formats.
PUBLIC
Personnel involved in drilling and completion operations (operators and service companies) whose activity may involve the detection of a kick.
Level 3: Accessible to any person who may be required to close the well (equivalent to driller level)
Level 4: Accessible to anyone who may be required to kill the well (all functions above driller, such as site supervisor, etc.).
Prerequisites
Candidates can progress directly to level 3 or 4 at the request of and under the responsibility of their company (or themselves in the case of freelancers). However, the IWCF recommends that candidates should have at least significant experience as a driller and have obtained a level 2 to progress to level 3, and a level 3 to progress to level 4.
