Learn the principles and theory behind effective well control methods. Practise the most commonly used techniques to manage pressure and maintain safety.

Learn detailed well control procedures, including volumetric methods, stripping, and bullheading. Master annular pressure profiles, equipment failure management, horizontal well control, kick graph correction, HPHT wells, casing and cementing control, and well barriers.

This programme is for those in key well control roles during well intervention operations. Candidates complete accredited IWCF training to prepare for assessment.

This course introduces petroleum geology and key operational and wellsite geological procedures. Delegates study rock properties, examine samples, and learn about hydrocarbons, sedimentary features, folding, and faulting.

Learn the challenges of drilling and evaluating HPHT wells, including well planning, pore pressure detection, rock fracture pressure, ECD requirements, and well control. Explore rig types, casing design methods, and geological and drilling challenges specific to HPHT operations.

This course is designed for Drilling Engineers, Supervisors, Completion Engineers, Geologists, and Reservoir Engineers. It also suits Asset Team and Project Management Members seeking to understand the basic processes of drilling oil and gas wells.

By the end of the course, participants will identify candidate wells for horizontal drilling and design horizontal and multilateral well profiles. They will also understand build curves, calculate torque and drag, apply kick-off methods, compile drilling programmes, and estimate wellbore stability mud weights.

Understand the objectives of well control and the need for accurate quantification in operations. Learn to apply references and standards to ensure safe and effective well control practices.

By the end of the course, participants will identify major fishing equipment and its applications. They will diagnose fishing operations and select the appropriate tools for each specific task.

Learn to plan, engineer, and troubleshoot cementing jobs effectively. Perform cement calculations and interpret cement quality logs, including CBL, VDL, and USIT.

By the end of this course, participants will have well-rounded knowledge of the petroleum industry, covering geology, drilling, reservoir engineering, and production. They will understand reservoir rock properties, drive mechanisms, depletion methods, well testing, and well completion techniques.

Participants will learn the importance of controlling and disposing of solids and liquids during drilling, workover, and completion operations. The course covers mud sources, details of water-based and oil-based mud types, and the vital process of drill cuttings disposal when using oil-based mud.

This course provides a practical approach to casing design methods and buckling analysis. It is based on successful well projects from regions including the UK, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Tunisia, Egypt, Abu Dhabi, Russia, Indonesia, and Yemen.

This is the only course in the industry that covers borehole stability using modern rock mechanics techniques. It provides specialised knowledge not offered in other training programmes.

This practical seminar is designed for exploration, engineering, and drilling personnel involved in well engineering, completion, reservoir management, workover, and rig operations. All participants in these roles will benefit from attending this course.

This practical seminar is for exploration, engineering, and drilling personnel making operational decisions based on DST results or using DST data in exploration and exploitation work. It also suits regional geologists using show maps and pressures for correlation, or those seeking bypassed pay zones in old wells.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Develop or improve their skill and understanding of basic economic analysis and the profitability of the petroleum exploration and production.

Attendees will learn UTM and grid coordinates, how to design directional wells, horizontal and multilateral wells, understand BHA’s, MWD, surveying equipment, survey calculations and error quantification.

This five-day course will address production problems resulting from excessive sand production and will present completion and workover techniques designed to either minimize or deal with sand production.

The costly phenomenon of formation damage will be discussed from the perspectives of types, causes, identification, remedies and prevention. Both laboratory and field methods will be discussed.

Outline course content and objectives; why these ‘engineering’ topics are highly relevant to geoscientists

The Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Study is a formal review of processes, equipment, and operations to identify potential hazards and operational issues. It helps reduce facility risks, minimising commissioning delays and the chances of malfunction.

Oil and gas leaving the wellhead have to be treated prior to transporting or exporting to the consuming or refining facilities.

Wastewater Engineering • Sludge Treatment • Water Disposal and Reuse • Wastewater Characteristics • Wastewater Flows • Wastewater Composition.

Courses available on request include safety, petroleum engineering, technical English, maths, management, and oil industry introduction. Other options cover drillstring design, technical writing, consultancy, troubleshooting, manuals writing, and long-term programmes.

The main outcomes of this course are to enable the trainees to have a clear understanding and more awareness of the importance of waste minimisation and waste management.
