Advanced Well Control – AWC
Course Description
This course is designed to go a step beyond normal well control courses. It reviews classic pressure control procedures and covers non-classic well control procedures. After completing the course, the participant should not only know classic well control procedure but should thoroughly understand it. The instruction received in this seminar will enable the participants to evaluate kick situations to determine the safest means to handle the kick with equipment on hand, and handle confidently both principles of gas expansion and pressure and proper hands-on response on the chokes. All material contains the most up-to-date technology available in pressure control, both in theory and from hands-on experience, and comes from the instructor's extensive education and numerous experiences in well control.

You will learn How To:

  • Properly design surface equipment
  • Apply classic pressure control procedures (Wait & Weight and Driller's Method)
  • Recognize causes and indications of a kick
  • Apply pressure control procedures while tripping
  • Recognize non-classic well control problems
  • Design and evaluate non-classic well control procedures
  • Interpret surface pressures and other well data
  • Apply fluid dynamics to well control
