Well Intervention Operations

Date & Location: Contact us for details.

Course Duration: 5 Days

Wireline, Coiled Tubing, Completion Equipment & Operations

With Certification from IWCF or IADC 

Course Objectives

This unique five-day course is aimed at people who are in critical well control positions, workover and well intervention design operations requiring essential and advanced knowledge in wireline, coiled tubing and well control operations. 

The course is accredited by both IWCF and IADC and candidates will be accredited with an internationally accepted certificate after completing the course and passing the exam. The certificate is valid for two years.

The course is delivered through lectures supported by videos and animations, self-study exercises, and group discussions. The course concludes with examinations leading to the required certificate of competence in well intervention.

Teaching Manual

The course will be supplemented by a specially written book by Dr. Hussain Rabia (2019).  The book is given free of charge to candidates attending the course. The book is not available for sale to the public.
