Well Academy recently supported a group of oil and gas professionals on the latest leg of their well control training journey – culminating in the successful completion of the IWCF Well Control in Design and Lifecycle Management course.
The delegates from Sasol began their training pathway in 2017 completing IWCF Drilling Well Control Level 2 and IWCF Well Intervention Pressure Control 2 courses. Well Academy delivered the courses, which provide a solid grounding in essential well control principles, in Johannesburg, South Africa and Temane, Mozambique respectively.
As their development progressed, the individuals advanced to IWCF Drilling Well Control Levels 3 & 4 and IWCF Well Intervention Pressure Control Levels 3 & 4. These courses were delivered both virtually and at Well Academy’s Apeldoorn training centre in the Netherlands.
The final stage of the programme was the IWCF Well Control in Design and Lifecycle Management course, formerly known as Level 5, delivered at The Well Academy training centre in Aberdeen, UK. This advanced training equips professionals with the knowledge to apply well control principles throughout the entire well lifecycle – from design and planning to execution and abandonment.
Participants successfully completed both the exam and case study components, demonstrating a high level of competence and readiness to apply their skills in complex operational environments.
Well Academy training director, Jan Willem Flamma, said: “Congratulations to all the participants for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to their professional development. We also applaud the commitment of Sasol to developing its technical expertise and maintaining the highest safety and performance standards.
“This achievement reflects not only the dedication of the individuals involved but also the value of structured, high-quality training in building a safer and more capable energy workforce. We remain committed to supporting professionals and organisations in reaching their full potential.”
