Description
This five-day seminar will assist rig and office staff working with drilling operations in understanding drill through equipment installed on rigs utilizing subsea stacks, both from a theoretical as well as a practical perspective.  Basic engineering, design, operation and maintenance principles will be reviewed and illustrated.  Hydraulic-piloted control systems are thoroughly explained and the basics of multiplex control systems are discussed.  The information has been proven over the past quarter century to be invaluable to both the man on the rig and the manager who wants an understanding of well control equipment used by his staff.

Learning Objective
The attendee will learn about the equipment and systems that provide well control safety on floating drilling rigs.  All the major manufacturers are included.  Focus is concentrated on practical information that can be put to immediate use, directly benefiting your drilling operation with lower downtime and increased availability.

When specific equipment failures are discussed -- the solution is provided. It is less expensive to learn from the experience of others.

Who Should Attend
Individuals working in the drilling industry who are or will be involved with floating drilling operations and equipment as a user or as a member of a regulatory body. The materials in this seminar are similar to that in WEST's Surface Well Control Equipment offering, but expanded to include all equipment and systems used in well control applications with subsea stacks. This seminar has been called the best introduction of well control equipment available for people working on floating drilling rigs with subsea stacks.

Provider/Delivery Method
Led by subject matter experts/Classroom delivery using PowerPoint presentations, animations and video.

Prerequisites
WEST Symbols, Schematics and Drawings course recommended.  Field and/or equipment experience would be very helpful.
