Develop measurable skills and capabilities
This course is intended to develop skills to conduct Inspection and Acceptance Tests on drilling and work over rigs based on API, ANSI, ISO and IADC standards through the application of check lists and procedures to verify the working conditions and readiness of major rig systems and equipment.
The course starts with a detailed description and specification of main rig systems and equipment used for drilling and work over operations and continues with the discussion of specific procedures and check lists implemented for conducting rig equipment inspection. Finalizing with a methodology used for rig sizing and selection.
o Course objectives
o Basic concepts and definitions on Rig Inspection
o Standards, Norms used in Rig Inspection
o Inspection categories and acceptance criteria
o Land rigs for drilling Operations
o Land rigs for work over operations
o Power System
o Hoisting System
o Rotary System
On the first day participants will be introduced on the rig inspection objectives and categories. The day continues with an overview of the rigs used for land drilling and work over operations and concludes with a detailed description and specification of three basic rig systems: power system, hoisting system and rotary system, complemented with technical information provided by manufactures, handout of data sheets, and animations to complete the understanding
Day 2o Fluid Circulating System
o Solids Control Equipment
o BOP and Well Control Equipment
o Rig Instrumentation
Part II of description & specifications will cover; fluid circulating system, solids control equipment, BOPs & well control equipment and rig instrumentation using the same methodology applied on day 1 including the analysis of technical information provided by manufactures, equipment data sheets, videos and group discussion.
The day ends with the presentation of guidelines for rig inspection and acceptance tests, this information will be the base for the next two practical days
