Course Introduction
This course is designed to provide a better understanding, enhance knowledge, ensure optimum performance, reduce downtime of the rig, and maintain the safety of personnel. Planned maintenance and accurate inspections are essential.
Consequently, this course concentrates on the rig equipment and functions, inspection and maintenance procedures required to ensure equipment integrity by implementing relevant standards and understanding industry requirements so that the rig’s equipment condition can be verified and safety can be improved, consequently, reducing the number of accidents and protecting assets.
Accordingly, efforts will be exerted at the early phase of the course to understand the 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 that might be encountered with equipment during drilling operations, as well as the latest developments in drilling techniques such as Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD). A vital part of the course is class teamwork whereby attendees’ 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 the safety of your personnel, planned maintenance and accurate inspections are essential. Drilling 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 the condition of a rig’s equipment and improve safety, thus reducing the number of accidents and protecting the asset.
