Wait and Weight Method Simulator (Subsea)
In this simulation, our virtual instructor guides a student through killing a subsea stack well using the Wait and Weight Method. All procedures are scored automatically per IADC grading standards for the Supervisor Level Subsea Stack course.
Each of our drilling simulators includes access for 1 student for 1 year to go through the simulation as many times as desired. Purchasing gives you access to both the Offline version on your iPad/iPhone and the Web version on your PC/Laptop
