HSE Regulations in Drilling & Completion Operations
Course Description
With competent health and safety personnel who drives this force, the Oil and Gas Exploration Industries will continue to be a safe place to workers. The conventional oil and gas well industry calls for highly specialized safety services. As the technologies for onshore and offshore drilling, completion and production evolve, so does the demand for expert health, safety and environment monitoring. HSE has the people and the equipment to safeguard workers, assets, and the environment, and ensure compliance with all applicable government, industry, and corporate standards and codes of practice. HSE services are handled by seasoned professionals with decades of international experience. The course provides training in the understanding and interpretation of HSE Regulations related to drilling and wells. The course focuses on a number of key elements including the design of drilling facilities, well construction, drilling operations and maintenance. The course explains how drilling and completion operations are planned and executed to meet all HSE objectives, maximize well productivity, and cater for future work over and intervention needs. HSE concepts and methods are presented together with down-hole equipment, tools and their selection criteria.

This course provides a thorough understanding of risks associated to drilling operations and to reinforce the HSE culture of the workplace environment.
