IWCF Well Intervention & Pressure Control - Level 3 or 4 - Remote training
IWCF Certification: “Well Intervention & Pressure Control” - Certified IWCF training center
CP3&4-EN-D
Who should attend?
The aim of this training is to increase personnel's awareness and concern about the impact and negative effects of a well control incident and to develop the knowledge and skills to carry out well intervention operations.
Public :
All personnel concerned with well intervention operations (wire-line, coiled tubing, snubbing, workover) involved in delivering safe operations: engineers, supervisors, operators, etc.
Level :Skilled
Prerequisite :
The Certification Level 2 is recommended for a first IWCF certification.
A period of minimum 10 days is prescribed by IWCF before any registration.
Course Content
BASIC PRINCIPLES & WELL FUNDAMENTALS
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Type of well effluents (heavy oil, oil, gas).
Hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures.
Specific gravities, densities, pressure gradient.
Over-balance/under-balance.
Pore pressure, frac pressure.
PRESSURE CONTROL APPLIED TO COMPLETION & WELL INTERVENTION
-
Duration : 1.5 Days
Safety barriers, pressure tests.
Well calculation: pressure, volume, pumping time, pressure to balance at the circulating device.
Shut in procedures.
Kill methods: direct or reverse circulation, bull heading, lubricate and bleed.
Specific problems linked to producing wells: losses, plugging, migration, hydrates, H2S and CO2.
Responsibilities and decision-making.
COMPLETION EQUIPMENT
