Training programs are developed and accredited by organizations such as the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) and International Well Control Forum (IWCF). IADC, headquartered in Houston, TX, is a nonprofit industry association that accredits well control training through a program called WellSharp, which is aimed at ...
CHK – choke (a restriction in a flowline or a system, usually referring to a production choke during a test or the choke in the well control system) CHKSR – checkshot survey report CHKSS – checkshot survey log
Casing depths, well control options, formation fracture pressures and limiting fluid weights may be based on this information. To determine formation strength and integrity, a Leak Off Test (LOT) or a Formation Integrity Test (FIT) may be performed. The FIT is: a method of checking the cement seal between the casing and the formation.
The abbreviation IADC may stand for: Institute of Anthropology. Interdisciplinary Studies on Human Dignity and Care (IADC) Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee; Inter-American Defense College; Inter-American Democratic Charter; International Advanced Database Conference; International Association of Drilling Contractors
The tubing may also have flow control mechanism. Single-well concentric kill string: within the well a small diameter concentric kill string is used to circulate kill fluids when needed. Single-well 2-tubing completion: in this instance 2 tubing strings are inserted down 1 well. They are connected at the lower end by a circulating head.
A blowout preventer (BOP) (pronounced B-O-P) [1] is a specialized valve or similar mechanical device, used to seal, control and monitor oil and gas wells to prevent blowouts, the uncontrolled release of crude oil or natural gas from a well. They are usually installed in stacks of other valves.
To obtain individual well flow rates, it is common to use a smaller test separator. This is an isolated and down-scaled processing system in parallel with the normal flows. Regularly, for example once a month per well, the flow from one and only one selected well is led into the test separator for determining well flow rate for the selected ...
Founded in 1975, Wild Well is the world's leading provider of onshore and offshore well control emergency response, pressure control, relief well planning, engineering, and training services. Wild Well Control was founded by Joe R. Bowden Sr. in 1975 (July 15, 1932 – November 12, 2006). [3] Its main competition was Red Adair and Company.
