Every Drillometry certificate is earned against the same IWCF-style rubric — the same way a well-control examiner grades the book. No watch-time pass, no quiz pass. Five decisions made under a live sim.
Recognise flow anomalies before they reach surface. Call it early or call it late — the sim shows you exactly which.
Hard shut-in vs soft, sequence correct, nothing skipped. The pit gauge climbs while you think.
SIDPP, SICP, kill mud weight, ICP, FCP. Numbers right the first time — the driller asks you once.
Driller’s, Wait & Weight, or Concurrent — chosen for the well, executed without losing the pressure schedule.
Call the kick. Hand off to the company man. Document for the morning report. Silence is the most expensive thing on a rig.
Start with a scenario. Learn by seeing the rig respond.
Courses coming soon.
Well control, drilling fluids, automation, MPD, completions, and more
An hour on a rig sim beats a week in a classroom — if the sim behaves like the rig.
