IADC WellSharp Introductory Well Control

IADC-IWC

Overview
The aim of the IADC WellSharp Introductory 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 IADC WellSharp "Well Control for Drilling Operations – Introductory" course has been designed for the following positions from Operator, Contractor and Service Company personnel:

Company Type	Position or Job Role
Contractor	Barge Engineer Captain / Master Pit Hand, Pump Hand, Shaker Hand Subsea Engineer Derrickman Floorman Blowout Preventer (BOP) / Subsea Engineer, Lower Marine Riser Package (LMPR) Engineer, Dynamic Positioning Officer
Operator / Contractor / Service Company	Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD)/Underbalanced Drilling (UBD) wellsite service personnel (non-supervisory)
Operator	Operator Offshore Installation Manager (OIM) Onshore monitoring crew Wellsite Geologist and office-based Operations Geologist OIM (for installations not primarily involved with drilling)
Service Company	Casing Crew Supervisor Cementer Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) personnel (supervisory) Mud Engineer Mud Logger/Wellsite Drilling Data Engineer Directional Driller Fishing Tool Operators (non-pressure operations)

Key Information

Accrediting Body: IADC

Course Duration: 2 days

Course Validity: 5 years

Course Venue: Cilegon, Jakarta, Bandung, In-House, eLearning

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 to put the well control theory into practice.

The minimum duration of this course is 16-hours followed by a 1-hour online assessment administered by IADC.

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

Perform static and dynamic pressure calculations across a range of wellbore and formation conditions
Calculate volumes and capacities for a range of drilling and tripping operations and calculate the effects on bottom-hole pressure during these operations
Explain the effects of gas migration on wellbore pressures
Describe the causes of kicks for on-bottom and off-bottom conditions
Explain the procedures for shutting in a well for a range of operations
Complete a kill sheet for vertical and deviated wells
Specify the well control equipment requirements for surface and subsea operations
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
Formation pressure, hydrostatic pressure, balance and underbalance, formation strength, kicks and blow-outs, shallow gas, barrier principles.
Calculations
Force, pressure and area, hydrostatic pressure, volume of pits, pipe displacement and capacity, annular capacity and volume, relationship to kill sheet.

Well control methods
Drillers, wait and weight, role of crew during well kill.
Kill sheet and pre-recorded data
Kill sheets, pre-recorded data.
Equipment
Pit level, mud returns, suction and return pits, mud mixing equipment, mud cleaning equipment, trip tank system and monitoring, design of BOP system within kill process, correct manifold alignment, surface and subsea variations, well control equipment tests, annular preventers, ram preventers, wellhead and connectors, choke and kill lines, HCR and failsafe, IBP, standpipe manifold, choke manifold, chokes, pump stoke counter, pressure gauges, closing unit, mud gas separator, vacuum degasser.

Certificate:
Successful completion of the course and a pass mark of 75% or above in the assessment will result in IADC WellSharp Introductory Level certification which is valid for five years.
