Introduction

The IWCF Level 4 course is essential training for those working in wellsite supervisory roles and for office-based personnel that are primarily involved in the operational decision-making process and/or well design. The course aims to build on Level 3 course content (including barrier identification and shut-in based on given rig up) and focus on more complex aspects of well control and well kill methodology. 

Please visit the IWCF website for information about the program and the full course syllabus.
