Rollout WCP to Industry at IADC Well Control
Conference of the Americas Present WCP to
Middle East Well Control Conference -
Turnover WCP to IADC WellCAP Program
10
A more focused objective -
To develop skill sets for identifying, evaluating
and mitigating well control events
Major focus the Process
11
Methodology -
A flexible learning platform focusing on a
discovery process

• Critical thinking
• Collaboration
• Consensus building
• Clear Evaluation objectives established day 1

12
but -
The process will utilize

• Instruction and facilitation
• Real case histories or exercises
• Solutions development
• Development of implementation plans
• Simulation or live well exercises as applicable

13
Instructor/Facilitator Qualifications

• Very critical issue to success
• Will require training
• Most likely will require certification
• May require demonstrated facilitation skills

14
WellCAP? Plus Candidates
Recommendation considerations

• Driller, minimum level
• Must have had a minimum of 2 Supervisory
  certifications
• Must be certification current
• Must pass Supervisory level written exam
  (minimal acceptable score 80 or better)
• Must demonstrate practical skills

15
No upgrades -
i.e., by taking a WellCAP? Plus course

• Drl, Surface Stack ?
  Drl, Surface Stack
• Drl, WO/C, SS Stack ?
  Drl, WO/C, SS Stack
• Drl, WO/C, WS, SS Stack ? Drl, WO/C, WS, SS
  Stack

No Well Servicing stand alone WellCAP Plus
program at this time.
16
Certification Cycle -
Based on a 2 year program cycle

• If on a 4 year program, the Plus course must be
  taken within the first 2 years of the cycle, plus
  the 90 day grace period
• Once the Plus program is taken, a regular
  WellCAP course must be alternated in the cycle

17
Course Structure -

• Class size, 6 to 12 participants
• Minimum of 6, a MUST to start the class
• Teams a minimum of 3 participants, 4 max
• Oral evaluation (participation in results
  delivery to class)
• Drop-outs, no certification (must take full
  WellCAP? course no creep into testing out)

18
Course Structure contd

• 4 day format
• Minimum 3 W/C issues
• Focused exercises
• May include simulation or live well use
• Each team to present results to class
• Exercise to culminate with guideline

19
Day 1

• Written test
• Suggest no review will telegraph exam questions
• Test to be approved by IADC Panel (Question
  distribution to be determined)
• Practical demonstration
• Develop teams for exercise/problem analysis
• Lay out team expectations
• Organize teams for consensus building

20
Days 2 - 4

• Minimum 3 exercises (can be more need
  dependent)
• Mix of how exercises flow dependent on course
  structure
• Each exercise to contain
• Facilitator delivery of necessary background
  information
• Teams evaluating and recommending solutions
• Teams delivery of class solutions and logic
• Class developed guideline (summary)
• Practical practice as appropriate

21
Exercise Structure -

• Learning outcomes (objectives) to be explicitly
  defined
• Appropriate material given and discussed
• Teams to develop independent solutions
• Class to summarize with guideline
• Develop practical exercises as appropriate

Possible exercise data base at IADC for
consistency.
22
Solution Structure -

• Team solution format
• Identify known data
• Define focused problem statement
• Identify and reach consensus on a goal or
  solutions
• Identify needed data
• Develop solution
• Identify implementation critical points (along
  with risks and initial actions)
• Present results to class implement as practical
• Capture data for files

23
Qualification Testing

• Trainers will submit tests to IADC RP for
  approval
• Minimum Passing Grade 80
• Can take in advance thru same Training Facility
• Allow 1 retake sit out 1yr if fail both
• Simulator testing only given on Day 1 of Class
• IADC will be notified of failures maintain DB
• IADC approved Study Guide will be made available

24
Case Study

• Currently under development
• Coordinate with Contract Facilitators
• Roll out to DT at October Meeting
• Develop additional Cases for DB

25
BUDGET

• Developing detailed projection thru 2004
• 75,000 Seed Money
• All WCP DT Companys to contribute 2000
• Requested support from IADC and MMS
• OOC to be contacted
• IADC will do all accounting
