Well Control Fundamentals
Well control awareness for new rig crew, support and service staff and office-based engineers who work on or with drilling and workover rigs. It covers pressure basics, barriers, the causes and warning signs of kicks, trip discipline, the blowout preventer and shut-in in principle, and what each person does during a kick. It is awareness training and not a well control certificate.
