What simulations does the simulator cover?

The guided simulator covers all IADC required simulations for the Driller and Supervisor Level Drilling, Workover/Completions, and Well Servicing Well Control courses. This includes Driller’s Method, Wait and Weight Method, Bullheading. and Kick Detection with kill problems.

Specifically, the Supervisor Level simulator contains the following simulations for both Driller's Method and Wait & Weight Method: Line Up BOP panel, Line Up Choke Panel, Line Up Standpipe Manifold, Line Up Choke Manifold, Line Up Trip Tank, Check/Set BOP Pressures, Perform Kill Sheet Calculations, Line up Pits, Pumps, and Valves, Adjust Pit Levels, Communicate Kill Plan, Carry Out Kill (Potential Complications = Nozzle Plugging, Nozzle Washout, Choke Plugging, and Choke Washout).

The Driller Level drilling simulator contains a similar set of simulations, focused on lining up and starting normal drilling operations, detecting a kick warning a sign, detecting a kick indicator, and handling kill problems during Shut-In that include BOP closing around a tool joint, Pump Leak, Choke Leak, and BOP closing problems.

The Bullheading workover simulator includes preparing a kill sheet, lining up the christmas tree, pumping in the annulus, and killing the well. ​

What new well control simulations and features are you working on? 

We’re brand new to well control simulation, and we have a very exciting vision. We’re working on a joystick that can be hooked up to be a choke. We’re working on Siri integration for the Supervisor to say “Siri, give me 10 strokes”. And we’re building a ton of new simulations – Wireline, Coiled Tubing, Snubbing, and Managed Pressure Drilling all coming soon!

Is your well control simulator approved by the IADC & IWCF for use in the classroom as a replacement to traditional simulators?

Yes! If you are a training provider or in-house instructor at an operator or contractor, check out our IADC/IWCF accredited simulator page to learn more.

Do you have any happy clients or testimonials about your simulator?

We do! Chevron was our development partner, and they have launched our simulator globally across the entire workforce. We have several other companies using our simulator in the field. Email us an info@learntodrill.com for more detailed testimonials and information about our clients. 

Do you offer any discounts for multiple students?

Yes! We love giving discounts. Send us an email at info@learntodrill.com to inquire about discounts. We give discounts for corporations, universities, if you get a friend to buy the course with you, and even if you post on social media about the course. Reach out!
