IADC Launches Gateway™ Program

The Workforce Attraction and Development

Initiative (WADI), which represents the

development phase for new programs

initiated by IADC’s Workforce Development

Committee, has launched its first program:

Gateway™.

The first training track within the Gateway™

program is called Introduction to Oil & Gas.

This track is intended to help companies

connect with colleges and training

providers to attract, hire, train, and promote

onshore and offshore O&G workers

worldwide.

Within this Introduction to Oil and Gas track,

the colleges and other organizations recruit

and screen potential candidates for entry-

level rig positions and then prepare them for

employment in the O&G industry. The

current program offers a standard baseline

curriculum comprising RigPass, Awareness-

level well control, a general introduction to

the industry, behavioral training (human

factors), a module on rig life, technical

math, rigging basics, electrical and fluid

safety, industrial practices, and considerable

hands-on training. This training track is

designed to better prepare new employees

for working on a rig, thereby helping

companies to improve the safety culture in

the field while reducing the turnover rate.

If you or your organization want more

information about Gateway or want to

apply for accreditation, please visit

http://www.iadc.org/gateway/ to

download the form and once completed,

email it to gateway@iadc.org.

Yesterday’s expertise. Today’s needs.

Tomorrow’s potential.

The drilling industry faces a unique

challenge today when it comes to recruiting

the right people for the right roles.

An entire generation of experienced and

specialized workers is retiring, taking with

them their expertise. The modern drilling

workforce is training to fill these open roles,

while also keeping up with present-day

changes and growth. Demand for more

workers and a higher level of technological

skills is increasing.

IADC’s Gateway™ program brings industry

and educational institutions together to

strengthen the ability to find new

employees, but also ensure those people are

prepared for life on a rig, for contributing to

the safety culture, and for achieving

competence faster.

MAERSK TRAINING DUBAI IADC & IWCF Well Control Updates & News Event Maersk Training in Dubai would like to extend an invitation to you to attend a News & Updates Event covering the latest changes to the IADC and IWCF well control certification process at our training center in Dubai South on the 10th December 2015. Following the Macondo oil spill accident in the GOM the International Oil & Gas Producers Association released its OGP-476 recommendations for training. Due to

these recommendations, both the IWCF and IADC have undergone major changes in their well control certification programs. Implementation of these changes might be unclear during this transition period and we hope to clarify these new changes and discuss the updates and how they may impact your training programme with this event.

TARGET AUDIENCE Employees involved in the training process for rig crews and drilling operations managers and supervisors, including and not limited to: Training Managers, HR Managers, Training Admins, Rig Operations Managers.

“I believe that having been in the industry for

over 35 years and conducted WellCAP

courses since 2010, the Well Sharp courses

have been a huge leap forward.

Dr. Douglas Leith CEng MIET

Creative Director | STC Global

Douglas has the rare combination of both

left and right brain abilities - the technical

rigidity of his formal engineering

background is intertwined with a creative

eye for design and simplicity which has seen

him create a multitude of engaging process

designs and technical initiatives. His focus is

about helping people go from ‘complexity

to clarity’.

Douglas was instrumental in establishing the

‘Designed For Business’ stream of activity

within STC Global. This approach has been

deployed in a wide range of situations

(project management processes, business

processes, organisational initiatives) across

the Energy industry (working with Operators,

Contractors, and Supply Chain businesses).

28 years working for Survival Systems

International, part of my job role now is to

provide regulatory support to both the

company and our clients.

I currently represent Survival Systems

International at the International Lifesaving

Appliance manufacturers Association

(ILAMA) and Safety Equipment Advisory

Committee (SEAC)

I have been an active attendee at the

International Maritime Organisation (IMO)

representing the ILAMA NGO delegation

and as a ‘Lifeboat Advisor’ for the maritime

administration of Dominica for the last 15

years.

There is no doubt that Surface Engineering &

Advanced Coatings (SEAC) technologies

are a critical enabler of the UAE’s global

competitive advantage in advanced manu-

facturing, especially in the Oil and Gas

industry.

The value of advanced coatings applied in

the Middle East, Advanced Manufacturing

Supply Chain is around $17bn, affecting

products worth more than $215bn in sectors

worth over $370bn, whilst SEAC technologies

affect products worth $1800bn in the EU.

This short presentation looks at how the latest

developments in Surface Engineering as

“SMART Coatings” deal with some of the

most challenging off-shore environments

encountered in the Oil and Gas Industry.

The presentation aims to:

• Define the Off-shore Operating

Environment by Zone

– Above (atmospheric)

– In and Out (Intertidal)

– Below (Subterranean)

• Provide some examples of SMART

Coating applications in each of these Zones

– Dealing with complex environments

– Use of SMART inorganic sealants to

extend the operational performance and

life expectancy of oil field tools and

structures.

Maersk Training’s new regional facility has

recently hosted one of the regions first IADC

WellSharp courses since the new updates

from WellCAP to WellSharp were introduced

on the 1st November.

The first course was a WellSharp Supervisory

level course with a WellSharp Driller course

held immediately after.

The onsite instructor provided insight into the

benefits of the WellSharp syllabus along with

a The WellSharp course now

offers Global Credibility as

the course is inde-

pendently proctored with

no involvement from the

instructors. The practical

grading sheet is more

challenging for the

delegates meaning that

only a well prepared

delegate will succeed. The

WellSharp course now

covers more topics taking

into account the recom-

mendation from the IOGP

and the clear definition of

simulator time is also a

positive element”.For more information or enquiries please
