World-leading provider of advanced drilling simulation technology, Drilling Systems, part of market-leading provider of training, technology and simulation solutions 3t Energy Group, has delivered a bespoke well control training lab to Western Texas College (WTC) with the installation of its cutting-edge simulators
Following the award of a grant to the college, Drilling Systems installed state-of-the-art simulation technology in well control education at WTC’s Opportunity Center, allowing students to utilize the interactive virtual environment on-site during in-person classes taught by IADC-certified instructors.
Euan Kennedy, Director of Americas, Drilling Systems, enthuses: “We are delighted to be working closely with Western Texas College on its new simulator training facility. In high-risk sectors like oil and gas, the consequences of human error or equipment malfunction can be catastrophic, and simulators help prepare workers for the field like nothing else.”
Students who take the course will be able to demonstrate drilling and well-control principles in real-time and improve their overall competence in safe rig operations.
