For: Operations superintendents and engineers (or their equivalent), who
have responsibility for productivity and economic results on completions and
workovers. First-rate field superintendents with good math skills should be able
to pass if they work diligently.
Diploma Awarded:
A special DIPLOMA OF COMPLETION PRACTICES will be
awarded to those who satisfactorily complete the five weeks shown in bold print
below, along with any three of the remaining courses. Satisfactory completion
will require passing grades on daily homework assigned, passing grades on
comprehensive tests given at the end of each week, and satisfactory class
participation in the judgment of the instructors.
Structure of the College:
The College program is designed as a
series of eight to ten one-week courses, five of which are mandatory to cover
the most important elements of every completions operation in the world. A
diploma is awarded upon successful completion of three elective courses in
addition to the five required courses. From the elective category, delegates are
encouraged to select the three that are most relevant and appropriate to fulfill
their training needs. This allows the elimination of topics without immediate
application or those for which duplicate training has been received elsewhere.
Breaks within the curriculum
provide a much needed change from the continual classroom schedule. Field trips
or something similar could be arranged for those “off” weeks, if desired.
Partial Attendance:
Registration may be transferred from one person
to another, but the College program must be attended wholly by each person
enrolled. If a delegate must drop out due to personal or company emergency,
provision will be made for make-up at a subsequent College.
Accommodations:
For each session, a group of sleeping rooms has been
tentatively reserved for participants. Our office will book rooms if a request
is made two weeks prior to course date. Rooms will not be guaranteed for late
arrival unless arrangements are made directly with the hotel. Registration fee
does not include meals or lodging, but a light lunch is available for those who
do not wish to go out.
Important Note:
All courses are limited in attendance in order to
allow for ample discussion and personal participation. This is doubly important
for this training series, which offers individual coaching and testing. Each
delegate should bring a hand-held calculator.
College Modules:
Course modules
in red are required for certification; others are optional. However, delegates
must have a certificate from an accredited course in Workover Well Control
or take the course as an elective here, if they expect to receive the DIPLOMA OF
COMPLETION PRACTICES described. It is left as an elective here because of the
prevalence of local or in-house well control courses in many localities.
