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.

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.

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.

    Introduction Blowout Preventer Stack Equipment

    WELL CONTROL EQUIPMENT & PROCEDURES WC-1 Introduction Preventing and, when prevention is not sufficient, respond- ing to potential uncontrolled releases of oil or gas ("blow- out") is critical to safe drilling operations. A kick is an influx of formation fluids into the wellbore. A blowout is an uncon- trolled kick exiting the well at surface. Well control is a process that begins with spudding the well and is not complete until the well is put on production and all drilling operations cease. This chapter will examine equipment commonly used in well control and processes used to control kicks of oil or gas. Blowout preventer stack equipment Annular blowout preventer The annular blowout preventer is installed at the top of the BOP stack (Figure WC-1) and has the capability of closing (sealing off) on anything in the bore or completely shutting off (CSO) the open hole by applying closing pressure. The sealing device of an annular blowout preventer is re- ferred to as the “packing element”. It is basically a do- nut-shaped element made out of elastomeric material. To reinforce the elastomeric material, different shapes of me- tallic material are molded into the element. This keeps the elastomeric material from extruding when operating system pressure or wellbore pressure is applied to the bottom of the packing element. Since the packing element is exposed to different drilling environments (i.e., drilling fluid/mud, cor- rosive H S gas and/or temperature of the drilling fluid), it is 2 Figure WC-1: Schematic (top) and photo of annular blowout important to make sure that the proper packing element is preventers.
