IWCF Well Intervention Pressure Control for Supervisors
Course Description
This course is designed to fulfill the requirements for International Well Control Forum (IWCF) Well Intervention Pressure Control Qualification. It is assumed that the individual attending this course fulfills the prerequisite requirements of this course. The program is aimed at persons in pressure control critical positions. Candidates are required to complete the IWCF accredited training course prior to sitting assessment. Course content will be taught according to the IWCF Well Intervention syllabus and will prepare candidates for the IWCF examinations and assessment. This program is aimed at people who are in critical well control positions during well intervention operations. Participants must fulfill the prerequisite requirements of this course having IWCF level 3 Drilling certificate. The course covers topics such as well control methods and influx characteristics. Shut-in procedure is also discussed.

The course will feature:

  • Completion Equipment
  • Wireline Equipment
  • Coiled Tubing Equipment
  • Hydraulic Workover (Snubbing) equipment
  • Pressure Control Management
  • Barrier Principles
  • Well Information
  • Shut-in Procedures
  • Pressure Control Methods
  • Problems

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

  • Identify the accountabilities of program signatories
  • Know the causes and effects of unplanned inflow
  • Recognize potential causes of losses
  • Define gas migration
  • Describe how the lubricates and bleed methods can be applied
  • Detect a possible blockage anywhere in the well
