IWCF Well Intervention & Pressure Control - Level 2
IWCF Certification: “Well Intervention & Pressure Control” - Certified IWCF training center
CP2-EN-P
Who should attend?
The aim of this training is to raise the awareness of the negative impact and effect of a well control incident and to provide the required comprehensive knowledge and skills to carry out well intervention operations.
Public :
This course is for personnel who have had no training in well control or for young recruits who will be involved
with well intervention operations: wire-line, coiled tubing, snubbing, workover.
Level :Knowledge
Prerequisite :
Basic technical knowledge of the petroleum industry.
A minimum period of 10 days is prescribed by IWCF before any registration.
