RIG

Client: Global energy company

Location: USA

Brief summary of scope: The client required a bespoke training course for personnel exposed to managed pressure drilling (MPD) operations, including colleagues in management, operations, contracts & procurement, supply chain, legal, HSE and emergency response. 

Results: We developed a customised one-day course which was delivered in our Houston Training Center. 

Eight modules were included in the course covering:

  • Managed pressure drilling (MPD) overview
  • Conventional drilling and MPD comparison
  • MPD techniques and pressure relationships
  • MPR equipment and rig-up
  • MPD procedures
  • Health, safety, environment and regulation
  • MPD checklist and 13P verification
  • QA/QC and procedural discipline

A total of 13 delegates attended the course, with positive feedback from attendees, highlighting excellent and relevant technical content and ‘some really good insights and knowledge shared’.
