IWCF launched the Level 1 well control awareness course following recommendations in IOGP’s Report 476 after the Macondo tragedy. Level 1 supports our drive to increase the understanding of how well control incidents can occur, their consequences and prevention methods.

Level 1 is the industry’s first free, online course which is a useful tool for anyone new or experienced in the industry, especially students and graduates, personnel involved in well control and those who are simply interested in well control.

In the past seven years, the Level 1 course has benefited over 100,000 users in 170+ countries. Students and graduates, new industry entrants, personnel in ancillary services, and others, have all used it to grow their knowledge of how well control incidents can occur, their consequences – and how they can be prevented.

IWCF takes great pride in our global community’s diversity and acknowledges the importance of catering to various language needs. In addition to the current English language, starting in early 2024, the Level 1 course will soon be available in Modern Standard Arabic and Brazilian Portuguese.

Offering this course in multiple languages gives more users the opportunity to complete the course in their native language, aligning with our mission to improve competency globally.

Stay tuned for further updates as we expand our offerings and continue to support our international candidates on their journey.

The Level 1 course has 7 modules which cover the following topics:

  • Overview of Oil and Gas
  • Life Cycle of a Well
  • Drilling Rigs
  • Well Control During Drilling Operations
  • Well Intervention and Workover
  • Pressure Control During Well Intervention

At the end of each module there is a knowledge check which candidate must successfully complete before moving on to the final exam. If a pass mark of 70% or more is achieved in the final exam candidates will be able to access their online certificate.
