at the location of your choice - onshore, offshore, and even internationally.
Onshore the training is typically given "on-site" through usage of the
mobile training unit. The unit is a completely self-contained, 40-foot
trailer which has been converted into a classroom capable of handling eight
students per session. For offshore and international classes, our instructor
brings the training materials required, you supply the classroom/training
area.
To further enhance training flexibility for the customer, the curriculum

foremen, engineers (non-petrophysical) or anyone responsible for supervising
and/or utilizing open-hole logs.
Prerequisites
None
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able
to:
- Understand and do a basic interpretation of standard
open-hole logs like the SP/induction/density/neutron for soft-rock country, or
a:

PS0027 ONSITE WELL CONTROL
BY REQUEST
VARIABLE - 4 TO 16 HOURS (PS0027)
Location: RTC or Customer's site
Contact: RTC Staff, Jeff Campbell, 504-728-1221
Course Overview
This modular course is designed to provide the customer with a selection
of up to eight, 2-hour, well control training courses for contract and
Shell personnel. As the course title indicates, this training can be conducted
at the location of your choice - onshore, offshore, and even internationally.
Onshore the training is typically given "on-site" through usage of the
mobile training unit. The unit is a completely self-contained, 40-foot
trailer which has been converted into a classroom capable of handling eight
students per session. For offshore and international classes, our instructor
brings the training materials required, you supply the classroom/training
area.
To further enhance training flexibility for the customer, the curriculum
has been packaged in a modular format, each module consisting of a 2-hour,
topic-specific training session. Use the following MODULE/OBJECTIVES index
to select training that fits your personnel’s needs:
