IADC WellSharp Driller Level with Workover

The IADC WellSharp Driller Level with Workover course provides drilling professionals with the essential knowledge and skills to manage drilling and workover operations effectively. This IADC-accredited virtual course focuses on safe and efficient well control techniques, emphasising practical skills to handle drilling challenges. Participants will gain competencies in well control, workover operations, and pressure management. Key benefits include:

• In-depth understanding of drilling and workover well control techniques

• Confidence in managing wellbore pressure during drilling and workover operations

• Mastery of industry-standard safety protocols for well control and response

1. Early kick detection and response During drilling, participants detect early signs of a kick. They apply their training to stabilise the wellbore pressure and initiate shut-in procedures, preventing escalation and maintaining well control.

2. Managing a pressure surge during workover In a workover operation, a pressure spike occurs unexpectedly. Equipped with well control techniques, participants react swiftly, applying barrier management and risk protocols to ensure team safety and operational continuity.

3. Emergency response during snubbing operations In a high-risk snubbing scenario, participants use emergency procedures from the course to control well pressure effectively, coordinating with the crew to minimise risks and ensure safe operations.

These scenarios underscore the importance of timely responses and well control expertise in high-pressure drilling and workover situations.
