Course Introduction
This course is designed to provide better understanding, enhance knowledge, ensure optimum performance, reduce downtime of the rig and maintain safety of personnel. Planned maintenance and accurate inspections are essential. Consequently, this course concentrate on the rig equipment and functions, inspection and maintenance procedures required to ensure equipment integrity by implementing relevant standards and understand industry requirements so that rig’s equipment condition can be verified and safety can be improved, consequently, reduce number of accidents and protect assets.
Accordingly, efforts will be exerted at the early phase of the course to understand nature of drilling and work-over operations in vertical, horizontal and multilateral wells prior to developing the basic concepts of the course. Moreover, the course includes engagement with the possible problems which might encounter equipment during drilling operations as well as the latest development in drilling techniques such as Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD). A vital part of the course is class teamwork whereby attendee’s teams exercise and discuss various inspection and maintenance procedures and possible problems and solutions as well.
In order to ensure optimum performance of your rig, reduce downtime and maintain safety of your personnel, planned maintenance and accurate inspections are essential. Drilling’s Rig Inspection course teaches inspection and maintenance procedures required to ensure equipment integrity on land rigs, platform rigs and jack-up rigs. Candidates learn to implement the relevant standards and understand industry requirements so that they can verify condition of a rig’s equipment and improve safety, thus reducing the number of accidents and protecting the asset.
