This course introduces and describe the basic principle of well control, fundamentals of kick’s and blow out with the consideration of the new API standards and HSE perspective, Student well be able to define the means of controlling well’s and well control equipment. Course participants will be familiar with drilling simulator operation and procedures for SCR’s determination, gauge function, panels, line up and drilling parameters monitoring moreover the formulas and simple calculations of hydrostatic pressure and capacity calculations.

Drilling mud additives and benefits of conditioning mud parameters for safe operation is part of the course target.

Attendees will participate in a workshop to be able to identify the working area hazards to keep the safe operation by going through the simple approach of risk assessment and preventive actions prior job commencement.
