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.

Banksman-Slinger operations on Oil and Gas, Construction and Engineering sites are carried out worldwide on a daily basis. Unfortunately the results when things go wrong can be both dangerous and catastrophic to lives and equipment. This course will enhance the skills for personnel who perform rigging, lifting & slinging activities using lifting equipment and lifting accessories to the recognized industry standards, including the current rigging/moving loads regulations and legislation. This course will promote the best industry practice in rigging, slinging & lifting methodology and inspection of equipment and work to the requirements of Safe use of lifting equipment.

The course is designed to provide participants with basic knowledge of drilling experience, a broad overview and complete understanding of the process involved in the Drilling of oil & gas wells. The course will discuss the basic concepts of drilling a well, general overview of well construction, and how it fits into the exploration and production process and its interaction. Participants will also learn about various types of rigs and the risks and safety involved in these operations. Participants will also obtain an understanding of well design, the purpose of running casings and the importance of fluids in drilling. By completing the course participants will understand the phases, operations and terminology used in drilling of oil & gas wells.

Flowlines systems are used in oil & gas sector, and general industries, most of the time they can be under pressure, failure to not properly handle pressure flowline failures could lead to a catastrophic disaster. In order to avoid these disasters Flowline system restraints are used to minimize the hazards. This course is designed to provide a basic understanding about Flowline Safe Restraint System which includes components, maintenance and inspection procedures. The course will enable candidates to perform the installation procedures as per manufacturer recommendations and standards. The course incorporates theory discussions and practical exercises.

This HPHT Drilling course provides a comprehensive understanding of the well design and operational requirements for HPHT wells. It develops the principles of HPHT well engineering from rig selection through well control and HPHT considerations for casing design, drilling fluids and cement formulations. The course draws on case studies for classroom discussions. This course is designed to reach multiple levels at both the rig site and office. Introducing High Pressure and High Temperature scenarios to the crews allows your team to identify the challenges created in an HPHT well in both the drilling and well control environment. This course takes a very practical approach to the communication challenges involved in a HPHT situation.The course focuses on recognizing and understanding indicators of critical well conditions and developing response plans that often require complex solutions.
