Day 1- IWCF Registration, Barrier, and Pressure Concepts
- Well barriers and standards
- Responsibilities for well control and integrity
- Well control definitions and concepts
- U-tube analogy for well pressure calculations
- The first day begin with IWCF registration and verification of pre-requisite certifications as required by ; The classroom sessions on this day will take participants through topics such as well barriers, barrier standards, and testing before using the u-tube analogy to make well pressure calculations.
- Influxes, Kicks, and Shallow Gas
- Kick tolerance
- Kick causes, prevention, and detection
- Shallow gas and well control preparation
- Well shut-in procedures and first actions
- The second day participants will learn about oil, gas, and water kicks, as well as challenges presented by shallow ; Participants will then be instructed on the use of the simulator by a demonstration of the system. Well control load cases will be reviewed.

- Convention and unconventional well control procedures
- Well control complications
- Gas behaviors in Oil Based Muds (OBM)
- Vertical and deviated well control
- Participants learn about gas behavior in drilling fluids, then they will move into a detailed workshop on well control procedures on this ; Participants will learn about complications which may arise during well control operations and will review appropriate response ; Each participant will practice a full scale well control simulation using the simulator.
- Well Control Equipment
- Review and selection of equipment
- Equipment installation and testing
- Practical - full scenario simulations with "unexpected events"
- The final classroom session will cover in detail the well control equipment used at a ; After the classroom session, participants will again move to the simulator to practice a full scenario well control simulation complete with "unexpected events".
- IWFC Practical Assessment
- IWCF practical assessment with simulator
- IWCF written exams
- The final day of this course will consist of multiple IWCF ; These will include written assessments over principles and procedures, surface well control equipment, and a practical exam on a well control ;Examinations will be delivered by an IWCF approved invigilator or exam supervisor.
