Surface & Subsea

«Subsea» means «under the sea» and refers to equipment, systems, or operations that take place below the water’s surface. For example, subsea equipment includes parts of drilling and production systems installed on the seabed to extract oil and gas from underwater wells. In contrast, «Surface» refers to everything that takes place at the water’s surface. This includes drilling platforms, production facilities, or control rooms on an oil platform.

Learning Objectives

Be able to establish consistent practices to ensure continuous primary well control and well integrity. When anomalous situations occur or conditions escalate, the individual should be able to analyze the situation, develop plans to minimize the consequences, and restore the situation to normal.

Level 4

IWCF follows IOGP‘s recommendations for which course level candidates should take. Level 4 is the highest standard level in the IWCF system, where high demands are placed on both technical competence and the ability to make critical decisions in high-pressure situations. This level is relevant for the following roles:

  • Drilling/Intervention Wellsite Supervisor, Superintendent or Company Man
  • Office based Drilling/Intervention Supervisor
  • Office based Drilling/Intervention Superintendent
  • Tool Pusher
  • Wellsite Well Testing Supervisor
  • Wellsite Completions Supervisor
