The course is intended to enhance drilling personnel appreciation to one of the risks in the drilling industry. It is not intended to induce apprehension but to build appreciation towards good communication, team work, situational awareness and the courage to come forward and say something in the case of unclear instruction or situation as well as to evaluate the fine balance between short cuts (cost savings) and the probability of unwanted well control event. The course dissects real blow out cases and is a good complement to well control certification training by in depth evaluation of policies, procedures and the hardware used or not used in the drilling process. The training includes classroom sessions, case studies, and discussions among participants to make the session interactive.
