Course Description
This five-day course focuses on marine drilling riser components, how they interact to make the system functional, and inspection and maintenance requirements and procedures. This will include the spider, riser, pup joints, termination joints, buoyancy, telescopic joints, telescopic joint support rings, goosenecks and handling tools.
Course Objective
Learn or refresh your knowledge of marine drilling risers. Each student will also create a technical report with annotated digital photos with inspection results from inspection of the actual equipment.
| Who
Should Attend |
| |
• |
Rig mechanics, entry-level subsea engineers, and senior subsea engineers that would benefit from an intimate knowledge of maintenance, inspection and documentation of marine drilling riser condition. |
| |
• |
Rig floor and deck hands that work under the direction of the subsea department. |
| |
• |
Rig supervisors that have not been trained in the basics or whom would like a refresher to train others. |
Provider/Delivery Method
Engineer led/40% classroom with PowerPoint presentations and 60% lab exercises.
Prerequisites
An appreciation of non-destructive examination and measuring tools is necessary for this course.
About this WEST Training course
This course features a mix of classroom instruction and lab exercises. During lab sessions, the classroom training is reinforced by practicing techniques on actual drilling equipment, including a subsea control unit. For engineers, this practical experience enhances academic training from the universities. Students will be tested for subject knowledge at entry and exit from the course. Reference material for the student to take back for use on the rig will be provided. Students will be required to produce report to demonstrate competence.
Classes are limited to a maximum size of 15 students. Lab exercises are done in groups with maximum of 5 students each to ensure that each student has time with the equipment.
Equipment recently removed from various rigs will be used for instructional purposes. This includes marine drilling riser, telescopic joint, gooseneck and spider.
Students should provide their own steel-toed work boots and coveralls. WEST will supply any additional PPE required in addition to all tools and training materials.
