The purpose of this course is to submit the understanding of well control techniques for surface and subsea BOP installations at driller level according to new International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) WellSharp standards.

Course Content

The course covers the following areas:

• Well control awareness

• Basic well control concepts

• Mud and it management

• Pre-recorded data

• Causes of kicks

• Barriers

• Shallow gas, shallow water flows and top-hole drilling

• Abnormal pressure warning signs

• Well control drills

• Kick detection

• Shut-in pressures and verification

• Post-shut in monitoring and activities

• Well control methods

• Casing and cementing considerations

• Risk management

• Surface well control equipment

• Subsea well control equipment

• Simulator and written examinations

Course Objectives

• Understand and apply the principles and procedures used in well control operations with Surface or Subsea BOP stacks.

• Use the equipment for well control operations with surface or subsea BOP stack.

• Increase well control understanding by use of the simulators.

• Show that kick detection and initial reaction can be mastered by use of simulators.

• Obtain sufficient knowledge about the course content to pass three tests with minimum 70% score on each.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The objective of this course is to give the trainee DPOs as much hands-on experience as possible in the time available. This is achieved by running the candidates through intensive simulator training whilst being exposed to environmental and technical worst case scenarios. This will increase the candidate’s operational skills and knowledge in DP Operations.

CONTENT

• All the exercises are carried out on a full scale ship simulator
• DP operations planning and watch keeping procedures
• Handling of position reference systems
• Handling of various propulsion systems
• Repetition of various theoretical topics from the DPO
• Preparation and DPO Start courses upon request from course participants

LEARNING PROCESS

This course is designed to give the trainee DPO extensive hands-on training in the use of the DP in a number of varied worst case scenarios. Candidates for the DPO Experience volume training course must have completed the DPO Preparation and the DPO Start courses, or be able to document equivalent competence.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After the course, the successful participants are able to:

• Carry out operational planning, risk assessment and hazard identification tasks
• Set up the DP system for a particular task
• Operate the communications
• Analyse the trends
• Discuss systems failures
• Decide on courses of action because of systems failures
• React to alarms and printer readout
• Initiate DP Alert status alarms
• React to all events occurring
• Operate the desk under normal and pressured conditions
• Practice effective teamwork
• Apply the lessons learned to date
• ASOGs

CONTENT

• Study of DP incidents
• Construction and use of work site diagrams, charts and vessel templates for use in DP operations
• Preparation of plans for a projected DP operation, contingency plans for expected deviations and emergencies
• Participation in simulated situations in a variety of DP operations while handling routine and emergency situations
• Risk and safety analysis, and defining DP equipment classes
• The DP system’s utilization of position measurements, and tests on position reference systems

LEARNING PROCESS

The training will be a combination of theoretical lessons and practical exercises. The participants will work with practical scenarios based on real operations, training on planning and executing specified operations under varying simulated conditions, including emergency handling
