Well Intervention Pressure Control Programme

Well Intervention Pressure Control Programme

This programme is for personnel who are in critical well control positions during well intervention operations. Candidates will complete an IWCF accredited training course, taught according to the IWCF syllabus, to prepare for their assessment.

The standard of certification in this programme is based on the pressure control knowledge required to work as service equipment operators and supervisory personnel. These standards have been created so that a candidate’s knowledge can be assessed systematically.

The following certification options are available and are made up of compulsory and optional components:

• Completion Operations (compulsory)
• Completion Equipment (compulsory)
• Coiled Tubing Operations (optional)
• Wireline Operations (optional)
• Snubbing Operations (optional)
• Subsea Operations (optional or standalone)

Candidates must attempt both compulsory components and one or more optional components in a combined certification programme. To achieve a combined certificate, candidates must pass all components they have been nominated for.

Invigilators conduct the assessments at IWCF accredited training centres which have been approved for the certification programme.
