Title: OFFTAT Oilfield Facility For Testing And Training An industry opportunity
1OFFTAT Oilfield Facility For Testing And
Training An industry opportunity
2THE RIG
3Background
- Shortage of Skilled Personnel
- You need to train people but its hard to get
green hands on rigs for training. - And if you cant get them out Catch 22
- Solution
- Build our own training facility.
- Industry-wide Problem
- Thereve been many complaints about the lack of
suitable training facilities in Australia. - Most companies in the industry need to train
green hands !!! - Solution
- Make OFFTAT available to the whole industry.
4 5OFFTAT Key Features
- Design loading 300,000 lbs (200,000 lbs 50
overpull) - Current SWL 272,000 lbs
- Racking for 110 stds of 31/2 pipe in doubles
(2,012m) racking for BHA (can also rack 41/2
pipe) - Hydraulically operated
- Fitted with top drive
- Man-riding winch
6Benefits of OFFTAT
- Personnel get safe, stress-free training with
tools equipment - Reduces the number of green hands in the field
- Increases safety at the worksite
- Increases efficiency of rig operations
- Less accidents downtime
- A local facility will help cut costs incurred
through sending personnel overseas for training
7THE TRAINING
8OFFTAT Usage To Date
- PCS In-house Training
- To date weve carried out 16 weeks of training.
- About 25 employees have passed through a two-week
program. - Its a hands on approach where employees are
required to - Work as part of a casing running crew both
running pulling casing - Identify understand hazards and hazard control
measures during casing operations - Conduct pre post inspections of equipment as
well as operational inspections - Conduct JSAs for casing running operations
- Demonstrate competency in
- the correct setting of casing slips
- correct stabbing procedures on the stabbing board
and rig floor - correct operation of a power tong (both torque
gauge makeup and computer makeup) - correct single-joint and side-door elevator
operations - correct use of a utility winch
9OFFTAT Usage To Date
- Key competencies taught
- Recognition of possible hazards
- Correct placement of hands
- Stabber and tong operator co-operation
- Correct stabbing techniques
- Communication teamwork
- Safe rig floor work practices
- Correct operation of power tongs
- Making up to a specified torque not more, not
less - Use of legs, not back, for lifting
10Testing Training Possibilities
- Training
- PCS has an MOU with Challenger TAFE
- TAFE will supply accreditation relating to the
DRT03 Drilling Training Package - PCS will supply the rig facilities to conduct
the training - Possibilities for Training
- Hands-on training for casing crew, drill crew
wireline crew - Rigging up rigging down equipment
- Snubbing and workover operations
- Well control training stripping operations,
etc., etc., etc. - Possibilities for Testing
- Downhole testing of tools
- Hands-on experience running tools
- Further Possibilities
- Companies with their own training courses can
hire the rig and run courses themselves - or run their courses through TAFE and have them
accredited for others to use.
