About Training
This course has been written for Operators, Drilling Contractors and Service personnel who require an in-depth detailed understanding of how fishing tools have been designed and manufactured and how they work. It is typically run alongside Advanced Stuck Pipe Prevention.
As compared with the standard Fishing Course, we spend more time studying the downhole “mechanics” of the fishing tools we use to catch the differing varieties of fish in oil wells and why fishing is not often successful first time.
During the course we use the media of first-class digital film and PowerPoint graphics to explain things in detail.
For the “practical session” of the course, we work through a number of advanced-level fishing case histories (which were all successful) to cement the delegates learning & understanding.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, delegates will understand those key drivers behind 100% fishing success rate. Delegates will also benefit from studying successful Case Studies at Advanced Level.
Audiences
This program was developed for, but not limited to, assistant drillers, drillers, toolpushers, oim’s, mud engineers, drilling engineers, senior drilling engineers, offshore drilling engineers, offshore supervisors, drilling superintendents, drilling managers, service company personnel
