Well Site Completion and Servicing Safety
The Well Site Completion and Servicing Safety course offers critical training on managing safety during well site operations. It covers procedures for well completion, servicing activities, hazard management, and compliance with safety regulations to ensure safe and efficient well site operations.
What is the Well Site Completion and Servicing Safety?
The Well Site Completion and Servicing Safety course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals is the companion to the Well Site Preparation and Drilling Safety course, covering the hazards and safe work practices specific to well completion operations and well servicing (workover) operations. While drilling creates the wellbore, completion transforms it into a producing well, and servicing maintains and repairs it throughout its productive life. These post-drilling phases introduce hazards that drilling does not: perforating with shaped charges (explosives on a wellsite), hydraulic fracturing at extreme pressures (5,000 to 15,000+ psi), flowback of hydrocarbons and produced water, well testing with live hydrocarbons, acidizing with corrosive chemicals, and workover operations that re-enter producing wells containing pressurised hydrocarbons and potentially H2S.
Completion and servicing operations are statistically more hazardous than drilling on a per-exposure basis because they involve higher pressures, live hydrocarbons, explosive materials, and corrosive chemicals in combination. A perforation gun misfire, a high-pressure treating line failure during fracking, an uncontrolled flowback event, or an H2S release during a sour-well workover can kill multiple workers in seconds. This course develops the safety awareness that every person on a completion or workover location needs: the specific hazards of each operation, the control measures that prevent incidents, and the emergency response actions that save lives when controls fail.
The curriculum covers completion operations safety (casing, cementing, perforating, hydraulic fracturing, gravel packing, well testing, production tubing installation, wellhead and christmas tree installation), well servicing (workover) safety (workover rig operations, wireline, slickline, coiled tubing, acidizing, artificial lift installation, well abandonment), high-pressure system management (pressure testing, treating iron, hose management, bleed-down, pressure containment), flowback and well testing hazards (uncontrolled flow, sand erosion, produced water, flaring), chemical safety (fracturing fluids, acids, biocides, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors), H2S in completion and servicing (sour well intervention), and the emergency response procedures for high-pressure release, H2S, fire, and well control events during completion and servicing.
All training is delivered 100 percent online through Microsoft Teams and the American Institute of Safety Professionals Learning Management System (LMS). Upon successful completion, graduates receive an American Institute of Safety Professionals certificate, professional wallet card, and official transcript, all employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
Who should take this course?
- Completion crew members and supervisors (frac crew, perforating crew, well testing crew)
- Workover rig crews (operators, derrickmen, floor hands) working on producing wells
