WELL CONTROL EQUIPMENT COURSE (WCEC) FOR FLOATING RIGS

Introduction
The Well Control Equipment Course (WCEC) has been specially developed for drilling personnel who wish to gain basic
overall skills in well control on floating drilling rigs. This course can be considered as an introduction to the ModuSpec
Academy Well Control educational curriculum.

who want to improve their knowledge of well control and subsea-engineering related equipment:
 Rig Managers
 Drilling Supervisors
 Toolpushers
 Drillers
 Experienced Assistant Subsea Engineers

Upon completion of this 5-day course the candidate will be able to:
 Describe and explain the working of floaters' main well control equipment:
 ram type BOPs
 shear ram calculations
 annular-type BOPs
 BOP installed gate valves
 hydraulic connectors
 choke and kill manifold
 BOP HPU
 conventional BOP control systems
 multiplex BOP control systems
 diverter systems
 well control equipment mathematics
