Programme Objectives This programme is designed for people in critical well control positions on drilling installations as well as onshore roles. The candidates will complete an IWCF accredited training course, taught according to IWCF syllabus, in order to prepare them for assessment.
Different levels of training require different examinations and are valid for varying lengths:. Level 2 training – Consists of two written assessments. If passed, the certificate is valid for 5 years.
Level 3 and 4 training – Consists of two written assessments and a practical assessment using simulator equipment. If passed, the certificate is valid for 2 years. Programme Structure. Level 2 – Drilling and Wells Personnel Basic Training (equivalent to old Introductory level). Level 3 – Available for any role expected to shut in a well (equivalent to old Driller level). Level 4 – Well Site Supervisor Training (equivalent to old Supervisor level) Candidates can opt to undertake either Surface BOP operations or Combined Surface and Subsea operations.
We recently updated our syallbi and issued this to all IWCF accredited training centres. The new syllabi is available to download below and will be effective from 1st September 2017. Examinations Only one type of assessment is allowed for each candidate at a certification session. To pass the assessment and obtain a certificate, candidates must achieve a minimum mark of 70% in each section of the examination. Each candidate is required to complete two written test papers which include multiple choice questions and Kill Sheet calculations. All candidates are allowed between 1.5 and 2.5 hours to complete this section, depending on the options taken. The examinations are made up of multiple choice problem questions.
Candidates must be able to identify equipment components and operating procedures using diagrams and schematics. All candidates are allowed one hour to complete this section. Independent Invigilators who are registered and approved by the IWCF conduct the written tests at centres which have been approved and accredited for the purpose of the certification programme. IWCF launches global crew resource management digital initiative A new training initiative to help prevent oil and gas incidents by focusing on human behaviours has been launched free to industry by the International Well Control Forum (IWCF). Update to Well Intervention Pressure Control Level 2, 3 and 4 Syllabi IWCF are pleased to release the updated Well Intervention Pressure Control syllabi. We have created this revised syllabus using guidance from a variety of sources, including our stakeholders, candidates, and Well Intervention Pressure Control Taskforce. IWCF introduces e-certificates for increased speed and security The International Well Control Forum (IWCF) will issue all certificates online, creating significant savings for training providers and greater overall assurance in the oil and gas industry.
IWCF Surface Well Control Certification (Supervisors) Level 3&4 This course has been designed to fulfill the requirements for the International Well Control Forum (IWCF) Surface Well Control Qualification. This course is directed at people in well control critical positions. Candidates are required to complete the IWFC accredited training course prior to the sitting assessment. The course content will be taught according to the IWCF syllabus and will prepare candidates for the IWCF examinations and assessment. The course will have a minimum of 32 hours classroom instruction. This course will consist of practical assessments using simulator equipment, a principles and procedures (P&P) written examination, and a surface well control equipment written examination. The IWCF certifications will be valid for two years.
Agenda. Topics. Audience. Prerequisites.
Agenda Day 1 IWCF Registration, Barrier, and Pressure Concepts. Well barriers and standards. Responsibilities for well control and integrity. Well control definitions and concepts. U-tube analogy for well pressure calculations The first day begin with IWCF registration and verification of pre-requisite certifications as required by IWCF. The classroom sessions on this day will take participants through topics such as well barriers, barrier standards, and testing before using the u-tube analogy to make well pressure calculations.
Day 2 Influxes, Kicks, and Shallow Gas. Kick tolerance. Kick causes, prevention, and detection. Shallow gas and well control preparation.
Well shut-in procedures and first actions The second day participants will learn about oil, gas, and water kicks, as well as challenges presented by shallow gas. Participants will then be instructed on the use of the simulator by a demonstration of the system. Well control load cases will be reviewed. Day 3 Gas Behavior and Well Control Procedures. Gas behavior in Water Based Mud (WBM). Convention and unconventional well control procedures.
Well control complications. Gas behaviors in Oil Based Muds (OBM). Vertical and deviated well control Participants learn about gas behavior in drilling fluids, then they will move into a detailed workshop on well control procedures on this day.
Participants will learn about complications which may arise during well control operations and will review appropriate response actions. Each participant will practice a full scale well control simulation using the simulator. Day 4 Well Control Equipment. Review and selection of equipment. Equipment installation and testing. Practical – full scenario simulations with “unexpected events” The final classroom session will cover in detail the well control equipment used at a rig-site. After the classroom session, participants will again move to the simulator to practice a full scenario well control simulation complete with “unexpected events”.
Day 5 IWFC Practical Assessment. IWCF practical assessment with simulator.
Well Control Kill Sheet
IWCF written exams The final day of this course will consist of multiple IWCF assessments. These will include written assessments over principles and procedures, surface well control equipment, and a practical exam on a well control simultor. Examinations will be delivered by an IWCF approved invigilator or exam supervisor. Topics Principles and procedures for kick detection and repsonse. Practical actions which are taken following the detection of a kick to return a well to primary well control. Audience This course is intended for rig-site personnel in critical well control positions, office based engineers or supervisors who require IWCF certifications and persons who desire a thorough understanding of well control concepts. Level 3 is intended for persons who are equipment operators or persons who have to perform an action to prevent or respond to a well control incident. Level 4 is intended for supervisors who have oversight that can correct actions which are carried out.
