    Description

    • This training course is designed to present basic knowledge of the types of drilling wastes generated, and their effect on personnel, wildlife, and the environment.
    • The course then goes on to discuss strategies by which the impact of these wastes can be estimated during the planning stage.

    Recommendations

    • This course is recommended for a broad spectrum of facility, production, and completion engineers who are related to onshore and offshore drilling facilities.
    • Safety professionals will benefit greatly from this course as it covers the HSE impact on drilling operations on-site personnel and the environment.
    • The course will benefit managers and legal personnel in making them aware of whether their Drilling facilities are in compliance with regulations.
    • Case studies/incidents/examples will be used to enhance knowledge and class interaction.
