T2
TRAINING

Production Safety Systems Training

Production Safety Systems Training (PSST) is a

self-contained interactive and simulation program
providing required T-2 Training Certication. After
an intensive three-year development schedule, the
Minerals Management Service (MMS), United States
Department of the Interior, amended the Federal
Register (30 CFR part 250, Subpart O) to allow the use
of this computerized interactive multi-media based
system for offshore safety systems training.

PSST can have a signicant impact on

a companys bottom line. The inherent
portability of the system means training may
take place anywhere, at any hour. Reductions
in travel cost, use of contract instructors,
and employee overtime mean big savings.
Under utilized discretionary time becomes
productive time. The average user completes
the course in 15 hours.

Stuck Pipe Prevention

Interactive & Conventional

Stuck pipe is a multi-million-dollar problem

for the drilling industry. Statistics show that
lack of communication and awareness on
the part of rig crews is a major factor in stuck
pipe incidents. The Stuck Pipe Prevention
Series (SPPS) is an interactive multimedia
course designed to improve the rig teams
understanding of stuck pipe, the physical
and economic impacts, and methods for
preventing and freeing stuck pipe. There are
six modules in this CD-ROM series: Impact,
Causes, Warning Signs, Prevention, Freeing
and a Drilling Simulator.

SPPS introduces the learner to the fundamentals

of stuck pipe. Interactive games and role-playing
activities familiarize learners with basic stuck pipe
concepts while emphasizing the use of correct
procedures and teamwork. Animated computer
graphics dramatically depict downhole conditions
that can lead to stuck pipe.

Stuck Pipe Prevention illustrates the most common

indicators of developing problems, and highlights
the importance of good communication and quick
action by the drilling team.

Communication and teamwork of the drilling operation are reinforced, along

with techniques to help prevent stuck pipe. In addition,
strong emphasis is placed on contingency
planning, procedures to free stuck pipe and
the minimization of additional sticking.

A Drilling Simulator presents scenarios that

challenge the user to apply techniques learned
in the various stuck pipe modules. The simulator
accurately represents the drilling controls on a
rig, providing valuable hands-on experience to
the student.

Safe Work Practices . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Safe Work Practices

Safe Work Practices (SWP) in oil and gas

producing operations is an interactive training
program designed to enhance the ability of
field personnel to recognize at-risk behavior
in the work place and modify that behavior
to avoid injury or incident.

The course consists of 4 sections: Introduction

(overview of Body Use and Position, Personal
Protective Equipment, Following Procedures,
Tools and Equipment; an Awareness of the
Working Environment); Incident Investigation
(users are shown the aftermath of two incidents,
asked to interview a witness and victim, analyze
the accident, and give an explanation of the cause);
Risk Assessment Exercise (users examine visuals
from job sites and identify at-risk behaviors); and
Risky Behavior (a game that challenges users to
guide a worker through a task without injury or
incident).

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Offshore Crane Operations
Offshore Crane Operator
Persons operating cranes on offshore oil
and gas production platforms and rigs in
US waters are required to undergo Offshore
Crane Operator Qualification Training. This
program offers seven interactive training
modules that cover aspects of the American
Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice
2D (API RP2D) guidelines, including a 3-
dimensional simulated crane with joystick
operation that models the real world
actions of a crane. This CD-ROM based
interactive training can be administered
offshore or onshore. Qualifying operators
are still required to make 2 live lifts to
demonstrate competence.
The course modules are: Vision Testing
& Introduction; Components, Wire Rope
Use, Construction and Maintenance;
Rigging and Communication; Inspection;
Crane Maintenance; Logs and Records;
Crane Controls; Operation and Safe
Procedures; Evaluations (randomized from
a 100-question pool) and the Simulator.
A record-keeping database, managed
by a Training Administrator, is built
into the program. Many users complete
this interactive program in four hours
or less, reducing training time
by half the typical time of
classroom instruction.
After completing this
course, the learners
should be ready to
demonstrate their comp-
etence by performing a
live pre-use inspection and 2
lifts while under supervision.
Modules are accompanied by a
comprehensive CD-ROM and
Training Administrator Guide
with all pertinent information
about installing and running
the series, answers to the test
questions and how to use the
record keeping database.

Kill Sheet Program . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Kill Sheet Program

The Kill Sheet Program was developed to help drilling and workover
personnel calculate data to successfully control a well. This fully
interactive program allows personnel to enter pre-recorded well
data at the job site and the program makes the worksheet
calculations necessary to complete their tasks. The overall goal
was to eliminate mathematical errors while providing simple
and consistent well calculation methods. Drilling personnel
will be able to complete a (wait and weight) kill sheet.
Production personnel will be able to complete computations
to successfully bullhead a well. Students are trained to use
this program while attending a WCS well control class so

Stuck Pipe
About the course: Stuck pipe is a common problem
causing drilling costs to escalate. Why do we get stuck?
The correct answer could result in a quick freeing of the
drillstring. An incorrect answer could just as easily lead to
making the situation worse until a sidetrack is required.
The problem is that when pipe is stuck, most drilling
personnel instinctively want to get out of the hole. This
course covers the procedures that should and should

Volumetric Method Of
Well Control
About the course: The Volumetric Method of well control
is used when it is not desirable or possible to circulate a
kick out of a well. The volumetric principle is applied in
cases of migrating gas as well as in stripping and snubbing
operations. It can be said that using the Volumetric
Method is not a routine activity and therefore is seldom
covered in detail during most well control courses. This
one-day course, originally created with the cooperation of
a major operator, has been designed to present the basic
theory of the method with a strong emphasis on pressure
limitations and safe practices. Participants learn to create
procedural checklists, work gas migration and stripping
problems, and make volumetric calculations. Electronic
simulators are used to illustrate and demonstrate the
volumetric principle.
Course content: Applications of the Volumetric Method,
Volumetric calculations, Equipment rig-up and limitations,
Affects of friction when stripping, Practical exercises,
Suggested stripping drills, Simulation exercises, Special
safety precautions.
Pipe Handling
About the course: The objective of this course is
to provide participants with a basic understanding
of good pipe handling techniques and complications
that can arise from various drilling practices and
problems. Many topics are covered, including initial
setup, intervals and well completions. The course runs
one day.
Course content: Inspection at the Yard and the Field,
Transportation, Off Loading at Rig Site, String Preparation,
Cleaning, Pickup Procedures, Proper Makeup (New and

Horizontal Well Control

About the course: Millions of dollars have been spent on
researching different techniques to maximize the amount
of oil and gas that can be produced out of a reservoir.
Wells drilled vertically through a pay zone have left
millions of barrels of oil and millions of cubic feet of gas
in the ground, never to be produced. Drilling horizontal
wells exposes more pay and can increase production
from formations where the productivity of conventional
(vertical) wells is low. This course gives participants an
introduction to horizontal drilling, completion and well
control procedures.
Course content: Advantages of Horizontal Wells, The
Vertical Portion and Its Depth, Short, Medium and Long
Radius Wells, Well Control, Drilling With No Returns,
Spread the Kick, Producing While Drilling, Rotating Head,
Drilling Through the Annular Preventer, Completions,
Gas Migration, Flow Potential, Underbalanced Drilling
and Well Control Procedures that Differ From Vertical
Applications.
Concepts of Mathematics &
Applied Oilfield Mathematics
About the course: A large number of first timers, floorhand
and derrick hand personnel who may be excellent hands
on the rig are weak in math. This program will familiarize
them with basic mathematics for the petroleum industry
and rig math relating to well control. Designed to be
conducted prior to a basic well control course, it prepares
students for classroom math like calculations, annular
capacities, hole capacities, pump displacement, etc.
Course length can run one or two days.
Course content: Introduction to the Calculator,
Addition/Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions,
Percentages, Squares/Square Roots and Powers,
Measurements, Pressure, Volume and Capacity for Tanks,
Decreasing and Increasing Mud Weights, Gradient/
Specific Gravity, Fluid Pressures, Capacities and Volumes,

The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) Research and Special Programs
Administration (RSPA) requires pipeline operators (not necessarily their contractors) develop a
written qualification program to evaluate personnel and contractor ability to perform covered
tasks and to recognize and respond to abnormal operating conditions that may be encountered
while performing covered tasks. Contractors will be required to follow the operators written
plan. This is a performance-based qualification standard. The regulations can be found in 49 CFR
Part 192 Subpart N - GAS, and 49 CFR 195 Subpart G - LIQUID, which became effective October
26, 1999. While the final rules were published in 1999, operators were given until October 28,
2002 to complete the qualification of individuals performing covered tasks.

Is your company in compliance? Call today to find out how we can help you meet the requirements
and prepare your employees through the Pipeliner Training and Assessment Program.

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Pipeliner Training Program

NCCER, in cooperation with American Petroleum Institute (API), has developed the Pipeliner
Training and Assessment Program (PTAP). The PTAP consists of Pipeliner Curriculum and Pipeline
Skills Assessments to qualify pipeline personnel under the Department of Transportations (DOT)
new regulation for Pipeline Operator Qualification. The Pipeline Assessments are tied directly to
NCCERs standardized Pipeline Curriculum and will determine qualification on selected covered
tasks as identified by API and the industry.

What issues do the Pipeline Skills Assessments

address?
Meet the demands of DOT and pipeline operators regarding
pipeline workforce qualifications

Identify the knowledge, skill, and overall qualification level of

the current pipeline workforce

Eliminate duplication of efforts and the burdens it places on

pipeline technicians

Increase technician credentialing opportunities and

workforce professionalism

Increase pipeline workforce involvement in training

Assist pipeline contractors in maximizing their training dollars

Enhance career opportunities and progression for

individuals within the pipeline industry

Expand workforce development resources to the pipeline

workforce

Improve the image of the pipeline industry

NCCER accreditation will elevate construction,

maintenance and pipeline training in the United States
by establishing a minimum quality benchmark for
training. This process will assist training organizations
in developing and/or improving standardized training
programs that effectively match their resources and
operating conditions while responding to the needs
of the industry. NCCER accreditation will recognize
training organizations that meet the minimum
standards of competence, warranting public and
professional confidence.

Quiz Maker . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Quiz Maker for Well Control

WCS is pleased to offer Quiz Maker, a computer program that
generates custom examinations for well control applications.
With Quiz Maker, managers and supervisors can create exams
that may be used as training and evaluation tools. Quiz
Maker also helps companies to meet the requirements set by
the Minerals Management Subpart O training regulations for
continuous testing and on the job training.

Supervisors, training departments and independent auditors

can select the type of questions to be compiled in the
quiz based on course level (introductory, fundamental or
supervisory), BOP stack qualication and certifying agency.
The questions can be focused on any specic area of well
control desired. Administrators are then allowed to select the
number of questions in any subject area that they wish to have
included in the exam.

Once the administrator has dened the parameters of the quiz

and the quiz has been generated, users are allowed to log-
in and take the exam. As users answer the questions, any
incorrect answer will direct the student into a remediation
section that covers the area specic to the question missed.
A nal report shows the topics and skills that have been
administered and assessed along with a nal grade. This
report offers companies a powerful tool to measure retention
levels of training and to identify areas where additional
training should be directed.

Quiz Maker can easily be used in eld locations, ofces

and training centers.
