The Directional Drilling Operations Audit and Compliance Training Course at the Imperial Corporate Training Institute is a comprehensive oil and gas training program designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of industry professionals in conducting audits on complex drilling operations to ensure compliance with corporate compliance requirements through monitoring, auditing, and assuring compliance. This directional drilling operations course is developed to provide a solid foundation in the principles behind directional drilling while also discussing important components of auditing operations, complying with safety regulations, and implementing technical assurances that are critical for all upstream and midstream oil and gas operations. Participants of this directional drilling operations course learn a structured approach to understand the planning and execution of directional drilling operations and how to monitor and audit them to ensure they meet regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and “best practice” technical requirements.
Through theoretical knowledge and practical methods and real-life applications, participants will develop their skills and capabilities for conducting analysis of directional drilling performance, assessing risks associated with operations, and effectively implementing compliance assurance systems. In addition to the basic directional drilling operational knowledge, the course includes classes on important subjects such as subsea inspection, flow assurance, and pipeline compliance; therefore, participants will gain an understanding of how directional drilling, subsea inspection, flow assurance, and pipeline compliance requires coordination to achieve compliance. This holistic approach allows participants to gain cross-functional knowledge of directional drilling and overall safety compliance, and technical assurance throughout the oil and gas value chain.
Objectives
Upon completion of the Directional Drilling Operations Audit and Compliance Assurance Training Course provided by the Imperial Corporate Training Institute, attendees will have:
- A thorough understanding of directional drilling processes used throughout the oil and gas industry.
- The ability to use structured auditing techniques for evaluating drilling operations against both corporate policies and regulatory compliance.
- The ability to identify and evaluate the operational, technical and safety risks related to directional drilling operations.
- The ability to establish an effective safety compliance framework aligning with regulations set by the petroleum industry internationally.
- To improve the quality of technical assurance processes applied to all aspects of drilling operations and, therefore, improve operational dependability and reliability.
- The ability to evaluate drilling performance and data in relation to audit documentation and compliance reporting.
- An understanding of the importance of subsea inspection to maintaining well integrity and the overall reliability of drilling-related infrastructure.
- The ability to incorporate flow assurance principles into both drilling auditing practices and reducing risks associated with producing products from drilling operations.
- To provide auditors with information regarding specific pipeline compliance implications as they relate to directional drilling and well placement activities.
- To enhance capabilities in decision making through the development of risk-based audit planning and compliance assurance models.
