ModuSpec has a long history of providing training to the upstream oil & gas industry.
Underpinned by ModuSpec’s decades of experience, our training is globally renowned by those who are involved in daily rig operations, rig intake projects and individuals who want to understand how rig equipment functions, what can go wrong and aspects of regulatory compliance.
Delivered by the Well Academy, we offer both closed and open courses, including:
Rig Inspection Workshop
Our Rig Inspection Workshop presents the working principles of major drilling equipment used on all types of drilling rigs onshore and offshore, including explaining the correct inspection and maintenance procedures needed to ensure integrity and compliance.
- Workover, hydraulic workover and pulling units
- Land rigs and platforms
- Jack-up and barges
- Jack-up, semi-submersible and drillships
Well Control Equipment Course
Our Well Control Equipment Course has been specially developed for those who wish to gain an understanding of well control equipment and systems on drilling rigs. The course explains the correct inspection and maintenance procedures needed to ensure integrity and compliance.
- Level 1 (3 days) – Aimed at those in onshore positions who require knowledge of BOP and well control equipment, without having a hands-on role.
- Level 2 (5 days) – Aimed at those in onshore or offshore who require knowledge of BOP and well control equipment and are or have been part of a rig maintenance crew looking after the equipment in a hands-on role.
Hands-On BOP Course
Our Hands-On BOP Course presents the BOP found on surface rigs. The workshop equips candidates with overall knowledge of surface well control equipment, explains the most common faults of BOPs on surface rigs and introduces basic maintenance procedures with a focus on safe working practices. The course is held in a workshop with access to a physical BOP to allow candidates to perform maintenance procedures as part of the course.
Subsea Engineer Programme (4 x 5 days)
Our Subsea Engineer Programme has four modules and is aimed at trainee subsea engineers or recently appointed subsea engineers to support their professional training and development. The programme lasts between 12 – 18 months and covers the design, functioning and operation of subsea BOPs, related equipment and calculations.
Advanced Subsea Engineer Programme (2 x 5 days)
Our Advanced Subsea Engineer Programme has two modules and is aimed at experienced subsea engineers or senior subsea engineers looking to support their professional development towards being a subsea supervisor. The programme covers aspects of in between well planning, maintenance and compliance.
Procedural Discipline and Situational Awareness Training
Our Procedural Discipline and Situational Awareness course delves into the reasons for subsea related downtime and maintenance related errors, the importance of following procedures and human factors that influence procedural deviations. The course equips candidates with strategies or maintaining procedural discipline, facilitating organisational change and mitigating cognitive behaviour.
Subsea training and competency programs
We work with our clients to identify the gaps in crew knowledge and subsequently deliver customised training based on the specific needs of each crew member.
Subsea management training
Our industry-first training program focuses on the fundamentals of running a subsea department. Topics include department administration, planning and execution of between-well-maintenance plans, budget preparation, and proven methods for training and developing junior team members.
Subsea competency assessments
Our proprietary competency-based assessment program identifies gaps in crew competencies by utilising methods perfected by the US Navy’s submarine qualification boards which assesses crew members on four levels of knowledge:
- Demonstrating knowledge and understanding
- Critical thinking skills
- Problem solving skills
- Performance of procedures and demonstrating techniques
