Advanced Drilling Rig Inspection and Maintenance Course
Introduction:
This course is designed to provide field and operations personnel with a practical understanding of advanced maintenance issues associated with prime movers that power an SCR powered or mechanical drilling rig. The session will give special attention to diesel engines and will assist participants with making deliberate and calculated maintenance decisions, placing an equal emphasis on both troubleshooting and the determination of the cause of failure. Auxiliary equipment and components found on a typical land drilling rig will also be reviewed.
In order to ensure optimum performance of your rig, reduce downtime and maintain the safety of your personnel, planned maintenance and accurate inspections are essential.
Course Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- Independently carry out a basic (visual) rig inspection
- Describe the main inspection criteria for major equipment
- Identify the major items that have an impact on the safety and operation of a rig
- Recognize the indicators of the overall condition of a drilling rig
- List the relevant standards (such as API) and their implications for drilling equipment
- Understand the basics of EX equipment installed in hazardous areas
- Evaluate basic maintenance and inspection procedures on the rig to identify compliance with good working practices and industry standards
- Understand the basics of well control equipment operation
