Course Content

Virtual Instructor Led Training

During three sessions spanning nine virtual training hours, participants will meet with the instructor to clarify the overall program objectives and adapt the unit content to the well types specific to each participant in their operating area. The template of the Back-to-Work plan is thoroughly vetted since half of the unit learning for all units is post-vILT for on-the-job context.

Back-to-Work Plan

Job-shadowing the primary safety leaders onsite, the drilling contractor tool pusher and the well site supervisor kicks off the program. It is enhanced with a rig audit to familiarize the participant with the 14+ major systems of drilling rigs, along with the key contractor personnel responsible for each system. Specific tasks to foster continuous learning/improvement and approachability are laid out. Reservoir engineering and geologic personnel from the company and/or the operator are interviewed to frame the full-cycle field development requirements of the target reservoir that affect design, planning, and implementation for drilling, completions, and well interventions.

A presentation recapping the learning and recommendations from each participant for this unit is made to a designee of the participant's manager.
