The IADC WellSharp Supervisor Level with Workover course is designed to provide supervisory drilling and intervention personnel with a comprehensive understanding of well control, as outlined by the IADC. This advanced course equips participants with the skills to maintain well integrity during drilling, workover, and completion operations. By focusing on risk management, kick prevention, well control methods, and equipment, this course ensures supervisors can identify and respond effectively to well control issues.

Key benefits include:

• Proficiency in identifying and managing well control risks during workover and completion

• Enhanced ability to interpret kick indicators and execute well kill methods

• Practical experience with equipment and procedures critical for maintaining well integrity

1. Managing a high-risk kick situation during workover During a workover operation, unexpected kick indicators appear. Participants use skills from the course to assess the situation, shut in the well, and stabilise conditions before proceeding safely.

2. Effective response to pressure surges in MPD operations In a Managed Pressure Drilling scenario, participants encounter a pressure surge. They apply their knowledge of MPD techniques and BOP control systems to prevent uncontrolled pressure escalation.

3. Coordinating shut-in procedures and well kill during completion In a high-stakes completion operation, participants simulate the decision-making and team coordination required to perform a well kill under intense pressure, ensuring well stability and safety.

These scenarios reinforce the importance of well control expertise in managing complex drilling and workover challenges effectively and safely.
