Education Sub-Committee

The Education Sub-Committee cooperated with the University of the Highlands and Islands to develop an online competency course based on the Wellbore Positioning e-book. Over 50 students from 20 countries have already completed the course.

 

Visit the UHI training website to learn more about the program. You can also watch the promotional video and see the course details. It is an introduction to the workings of a typical drilling rig and a quick tour of a working rig site.
