InterOil hosts intensive well control course
InterOil completed an intensive well control training for its drilling team yesterday at Napa Napa outside Port Moresby.
The five day training was conducted by international accredited oil and gas training expert Harness Energy from Australia. Apart from its drilling team, InterOil also extended the invitation to staff of the Department of Petroleum and Energy and Orion to attend the course.
The course taught drilling engineers the art of well control and included intensive technical training, theory and a simulation exam.
“The course is intensive and participants who pass receive an international qualification that can get them a job in any drilling company in the world.
“This course is a requirement and is of international standard,” said Harness Energy trainer Dean Devenish.
InterOil Drilling Superintendent Gerald Nicholson said the training gave the drilling team access to an international qualification with the aim of getting more Papua New Guinean drillers at the front end of the team."
