LEVEL 2 DRILLING & WELLS PERSONNEL
IWCF
Introductory training course for Operation Team personnel who are in a wellsite based position and whose action or inaction could directly influence well control assurance.
LEVEL 3 EQUIPMENT OPERATOR
IWCF
This IWCF drilling course is for the Equipment Operator level personnel who perform an action to prevent or respond to a well control accident.
LEVEL 4 WELL SITE SUPERVISOR
IWCF
This IWCF drilling course is for people who are in critical well control positions that specify or have oversight that accurate actions are carried out on location.
IN-HOUSE CLASSES
In-house classes allow clients to improve crew competency by incorporating specific well and rigsite characteristics into the curriculum. Wild Well can develop customized simulations on problem or future wells with client-provided wellbore parameters. In-house courses meet all IADC requirements and can be held at your locations or a Wild Well training center.
Specialty Courses & Workshops for Specific Disciplines
In addition to offering IADC and IWCF certification courses, we also provide the following specialty courses and workshops that focus on specific area disciplines. Some Specialty Courses can be customized for client-specific operations. Contact Wild Well Training to schedule any of the following courses.
ADVANCED SUBSEA WELL CONTROL
Specialty – 5 Days
In the Advanced Subsea Well Control course, team-based training is employed to enhance situational awareness, communication, leadership, and decision-making during complex situations. The course addresses Human Factors and works to eliminate their impact in costly well control incidents. The course encourages participation among the different levels of decision makers from multiple companies which promotes the sharing of comparable ideas, perspectives, and experiences.
CREW AWARENESS TRAINING
Specialty – 4 hours
Crew Awareness Training allows the drilling crews to understand how and why blowouts occur. Instructors help crew members understand and recognize the telltale signs of a pending kick and make sure they are fully versed in proper shut-in procedures. Training can take place at your site or ours and can be tailored to your specific employee group.
KICK DRILL ASSESSMENT
A Kick Drill Assessment is a personnel assessment of well control knowledge, readiness, and competency at the job site. It will provide a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the drilling crew’s ability to react to a kick and properly shut the well in. Each crew member has an individual assessment and all crews participate.

TRUE TRAINING
Specialty – 3 days
Training to Reduce Unscheduled Events (TRUE) immerses participants in an instructional program that focuses on team building and the practical application of proven operational principles in a 12-module format. Using real-world scenarios, students direct rig teams in the development and follow-through of action plans.
COLLEGE WELL CONTROL
Specialty – 2.5 days
The College Fundamental Well Control course provides the student the means to identify and describe the basics of: well control equipment, different types and uses of drilling fluids including safety practices, pressure basics and concepts, leak off test, formation integrity test, causes of kicks, kick warning signs and detection, hard and soft shut in, lag time, well control calculations and well control methods.
Course Outline
ACCUMULATOR WORKSHOP
The Accumulator Workshop combines interactive classroom instruction with a hands-on walkthrough of basic and critical operational components for your onsite accumulator system. Risk management well control equipment experts deliver quality coaching to develop a crew's practical and operational understanding of the accumulator system.
AIR DRILLING
Specialty – 4 hours
The Air Drilling course covers the basics of air drilling equipment, the types of air drilling, differences between mud and air drilling; how to apply well control principles to air drilling operations; and sets aside time for the discussion of specialized equipment that allows the operator to drill much faster with air than with water or other fluids.
Course Outline
