Learning Objectives

  • Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
  • ensure high HSE standard during drilling operations,
  • identify specific hazards, their associated risks during drilling operations and to define prevention and mitigation measures to reduce risks,
  • identify the certificates necessary to ensure the suitability of equipment and personnel,
  • understand and apply typical HSE management practices on site (prevention, protection, emergency planning).

Ways & Means

  • Several applications and illustrations.
  • Several case studies and teamwork sessions.
