This curriculum identifies a body of knowledge and a set of job skills that can be used to provide well control training for Oil and Gas Operator Representative. This curriculum incorporates Core Training Modules, Sub-Modules, Learning Topics, and Learning Objectives and Assessments. Recommended Attendees: IADC recommends that well site supervisory and office -based personnel who are primarily involved in the operational decision-making process for well control and/or involved in design of well barriers attend this course. Examples of these positions or job roles are listed in the table below. Company Personnel Type Positions Wellsite Leaders/Company Man Company Representative Operator (Oil & Gas Company) All Superintendents Production/Company Engineer Consultant General Desk Engineer/Specialist/SME Position determined by Service Company and Oil and Gas Company that is not a direct operator of equipment or supervisor of that equipment, and Non-Operator (Oil & Gas) determined to need a broader scope of knowledge Company Personnel greater than his/her product line. NOT intended to replace or be equivalent to Equipment Operator Course. Acceptable Delivery Methods: Instructor-led training for the initial and repeat delivery of this course is required. Demonstration is required to be incorporated into the course content delivery. See the relevant cross-reference document regarding for content delivery requirements for specific learning objectives. WSP-02-WS-OGO Page 3 of 37 Revision 0 © Copyright IADC 2017 Last updated: 27 September 2017 Related Learning Objectives for WellSharp® Oil and Gas Operator Representative-Workover/Intervention Well Control To the maximum extent possible, use scenarios to bring attention to specific topics. IADC also requires a “blended” approach to (multiple strategies for) content delivery and a variety of techniques that appeal to different types of learners (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic). These strategies will also help engage trainees in the learning process and will help improve learning and retention. Minimum Course Length: Thirty-six (36) classroom hours are required for teaching the Oil and Gas Operator Representative curriculum. Course length excludes the knowledge assessment time (3.5 hours). Course Curriculum Notes: The curriculum that follows includes five components: Training Module, Sub-Modules, Learning Topics, AIM, and Learning Objectives and Assessment Guidelines. AIM: The AIM letters indicate the level of knowledge and skills required at the job level: A = Awareness of Learning Topic I = Implements Learning Topic at this job level; needs an increased level of knowledge because they may have to take action of some task related to the topic. M = Mastery of Learning Topics at this job level; needs a full knowledge because they have to take action, perhaps unsupervised, of some task related to the topic. Learning Topics: This section provides guidance for instructors on what the trainee should learn. Learning Objectives and Assessment Guidelines: This section defines what trainees should be able to do at the conclusion of the training and provides some examples of how to meet the objectives. Assessment Notes: Questions on the Knowledge Assessment will be graded as a cumulative score. To pass the course, the trainee must earn at least a 70% score.

    WellCAP® IADC WELL CONTROL ACCREDITATION PROGRAM WELL SERVICING OPERATIONS – SNUBBING CORE CURRICULUM AND RELATED JOB SKILLS FORM WCT-2SS SUPERVISORY LEVEL The purpose of the core curriculum is to identify a body of knowledge and a set of job skills that can be used to provide well control skills for well servicing operations. The curriculum is divided into three certification types: Coiled Tubing, Snubbing, and Wireline (Wireline is presented in document WCT – 2WSW) and within each certification, three levels: Introductory, Fundamental, and Supervisory. Students may complete an individual certification (e.g., Coiled Tubing) or combination certifications (e.g., Coiled Tubing and Snubbing). All knowledge and skills for each individual certification must be addressed when combining certifications. The suggested target students for each core curriculum level are as follows: INTRODUCTORY: New Hires (May also be appropriate for non-technical personnel) FUNDAMENTAL: Helpers, Assistants, “Hands” involved with the operational aspects of the unit and who may act/operate the unit under direct supervision of a certified Unit Operator or Supervisor. SUPERVISORY: Unit Operators, Supervisors, Superintendents, and Project Foreman Upon completion of a well control training course based on curriculum guidelines, the student should be able to perform the job skills in italics identified by a "!" mark (e.g., !

Rao, Division Leader, Decision Applications Division Chris Smith and Elena Melchert, DOE Program Oversight (U N C L A S S I F I E D) Operated by the Los Alamos National Security, LLC for the DOE/NNSA Summary of LANL AnalysesU N C L A S S I F I E D Status update and a review of preliminary findings • Over the past three decades there has been a steady decrease in ‘major’ kick frequency; more recently, frequency is about 1 in 10 wells. A majority of the kicks occur in the shallower regions where the primary hazard is the release of natural gas, some condensates and synthetic mud to the environs. A small fraction (1 in 100 wells) kick while drilling and cementing in the target region where oil and other condensates present blowout hazard. • Ultra-deep water formations stratigraphy and reservoir properties are significantly different compared to previous operational experience. • Our modeling efforts included development of accident progression event trees that enumerated an exhaustive list of possible accident sequences; barrier analyses that quantified reliability of each barrier; and physics-based well dynamics models that explicitly captured timing of events. We have used a generic well design and well operations that are consistent with IADC and API guidance. • Important barriers in place to mitigate a kick (e.g., Lower Marine Riser connection (LMRP), Blowout Preventer (BOP) and Drill Pipe Safety Valves) are vulnerable to control system and design deficiencies.

Title: Title: Title: Title: Press. Rating Model 1 Scope 1.1 Purpose 1.1.1 The purpose of this standard is to provide requirements on the installation and testing of blowout prevention equipment systems on land and marine drilling rigs (barge, platform, bottom-supported, and floating). Blowout preventer equipment systems are comprised of a combination of various components. The following components are required for operation under varying rig and well conditions: a) blowout preventers (BOPs); b) choke and kill lines; 1.1.2 c) choke manifolds; d) control systems; e) auxiliary equipment. 1.1.3 The primary functions of these systems are to confine well fluids to the wellbore, provide means to add fluid to the wellbore, and allow controlled volumes to be removed from the wellbore. Diverters, shut-in devices, and rotating head systems (rotating control devices) are not addressed in this standard (see API 64 and API 16RCD, respectively); their primary purpose is to safely divert or direct flow rather than to confine fluids to the 1.1.4 wellbore. 1.2 Well Control 1.2 Procedures and techniques for well control are not included in this standard since they are beyond the scope of equipment systems contained herein.

The low-price environment in the oil and gas field forces operators to focus on cost-saving methods anywhere practical. Wells with longer laterals have become more prominent in the industry due to their additional contact with the formation, increased productivity and the ability to save money. However, conventional completion methods are a limiting factor due to their decreasing efficiencies with respect to lateral length and problems that thereby
