Snubbing is well intervention operation performed on oil and gas wells. It involves running pipe in or out of a hole under pressure using a hydraulic workover rig. It is only used for the most demanding of operations when lighter intervention techniques do not offer the strength and durability. It is also called hydraulic workover, and it can also be performed without removing the Christmas tree from the wellhead.

The aim of this course is to familiarize with the fundamental topics of Quality Management Systems and the ISO 9000 series of Standards. On successful completion, the participants should have a reasonable understanding of QMS and ISO 9001 requirements.

Well Planning and Engineering integrate all major well planning technologies from pre-spud to TD. Participants are actively engaged in every aspect of the technical activities required to deliver a cost-effective well plan while also gaining valuable perspective on how the overall process should be managed in a dynamic team environment. The workshop content is often customized to address technologies and practices that may be specific to a project or operational situation. The course delivery is carefully balanced to integrate technical lectures and group discussion with roughly half of each day allotted for the teams to apply what they have learned on the project well design.The single most important goal of the workshop is to draw the linkages between the design topics and to leave the participants with an understanding that each decision has influence on those that follow. Intensity mounts as the course progresses and each design topic builds on those that came before. Design iterations are commonly required, especially as the course progresses and seemingly unrelated decisions push the teams into situations of uncomfortable operational risk. On the last day, each team presents their completed design before the class and an invited panel of industry professionals.

Coiled Tubing is one of the most common technologies used for well servicing on daily basis throughout the oil industry during drilling, completion, and mainly production phases of oil and gas wells. This course covers the surface and pressure control equipment, the bottom hole assembly components (downhole tools), the string manufacturing and operational limits and the interventions performed with coiled tubing. This course will allow the Participants to gain the knowledge to actively and efficiently participate in coiled tubing service planning, design and execution.

Well Control training for drilling personnel is often limited to bi-annual Well Control certification courses. Whilst these classroom-based courses give personnel a solid grounding in the fundamentals of well control principles and test these on a simulator, they only expose the trainees to the minimum-required level of well control scenarios and downhole conditions. Realistically, the wells drilled by most crews are far more challenging than those covered in a standard well control course. Wells are often inclined, drilled with oil-based drilling fluids, or are affected by a number of more subtle external conditions. Crews whose only training has been in standard well control courses may lack confidence when encountering more complex conditions. Attendees on NEFT Energies Training Institute Advanced Well Control course will be confronted by realistic well control scenarios played out on a drilling simulator with an experienced instructor, who will ask them to take decisions on the best methods of dealing with each situation. Team decisions are encouraged and the team may find that they have to think more creatively to understand what caused the conditions and to decide the best methods to return themselves to pre-planned operational conditions.
