Overview
One of the most important aspects of drilling wells in today’s oil industry is to control formation pressures. One indicator of this important aspect is the fact that regulatory bodies around the world require that specific personnel working in this industry either be trained in well control principles and procedures or be tested to prove their competence. It is without question that training plays an important part in successful well control.
Overview
The WellCAP program is based on the principle that proper training, emphasizing the knowledge and practical skills critical to successful well control, produces competent rig crews. This is the fundamental values held at all 3 IOTS training facilities in Calgary, Kelowna, Newfoundland. The purpose of the IADC WellCAP core curriculum is to identify a body of knowledge and a set of job skills which can be used to provide well control skills for drilling operations.
