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 ...
CK – 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) CL – core log; CLG – core log and graph; CM – choke module; CMC – crown mounted compensators; CMC – critical micelle concentration; CMP – common midpoint (geophysics)
Well control is the technique used in oil and gas operations such as drilling, well workover and well completion for maintaining the hydrostatic pressure and formation pressure to prevent the influx of formation fluids into the wellbore.
Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI) enables the petroleum operators to increase the oil and gas recovery rate from subsea oil wells. The operation is performed through smaller dynamic positioned monohull vessels instead of larger mobile installations like traditional semisubmersible drilling rigs or drillships .
The first snubbing unit was primarily designed to work in well control situations to "snub" drill pipe and or casing into, or out of, a well bore when conventional well killing methods could not be used. Unlike conventional drilling and completions operations, snubbing can be performed with the well still under pressure (not killed). When done ...
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.
A blowout is the uncontrolled release of crude oil and/or natural gas from an oil well or gas well after pressure control systems have failed. [1] Modern wells have blowout preventers intended to prevent such an occurrence. An accidental spark during a blowout can lead to a catastrophic oil or gas fire.
