How to find the right training for your team

Whether you're an experienced energy industry professional or just setting out on your upstream career, Norwell EDGE features technical training modules to help develop teams and advance careers.

Taking a digital-first approach to team training makes it easier than ever before to provide courses that close competency gaps in your workforce – specific to job role, or individual needs.

Here’s our quick guide to finding the right training for your teams.

1. Use Introductory Courses to Build Foundations

For Industry newbies, our Introductory modules are a great way to learn the fundamentals of Drilling, Production and Geology – and have already helped hundreds of professionals take the first steps to grow their knowledge of upstream oil and gas operations.

This collection of modules includes 3 introductory courses designed to provide an overview of the upstream process.

2. Start Searching

The Oil & Gas sector always involves new challenges, and teams must be armed with the knowledge to deal with new environments, equipment and processes.

However basic or advanced, use EDGE to search for any training topics you need your teams to understand. Just visit Courses and use the search bar to find the upstream courses you’re looking for.

Remember, Norwell EDGE training allows managers to plan, track and fully audit training across teams and at an individual level, giving you full control over closing your competency gaps.

3. Well Planning

From Conceptual Design and Time and Cost Estimation through to Detailed Drilling Programmes, build the foundations in your Wells and Well Engineering teams with core Well Planning training.

Covering all planning that goes into a well and a great pre-cursor to detailed Well Engineering training, explore individual modules and the Norwell EDGE Well Planning Collection here.

4. Really Get to Know Drilling Equipment

One for all Drilling and Operations teams.

Do your workforce understand all of the equipment they could encounter?

Check out our Drilling and Rig Equipment module and improve learners' understanding of critical pieces of rig and third party equipment used during drilling.

5. Understand Safety and Emergency Planning

Safety-critical training doesn't have to be just a tick-box exercise.

Teams that respond well to emergencies rely on a cross-role understanding of safe operations and emergency response.

For workers looking to grow and move upwards in your Ops teams, giving them the tools to mitigate and assess risk is a great place to start, while ensuring safety standards remain high across your workforce.

Our Emergency Planning, Safety and the Environment module focuses on building a wider understanding of what to do when things go wrong, so that teams can communicate and understand each other's roles as well as possible.

6. Advanced Well Control

Our Advanced Well Control suite of modules is ideally suited for those preparing for IWCF/IADC well control exams or as continuous training between exams.

Well Kill Methods, Shut-in Methods and Kick Detection are just some of the topics covered - perfect for experienced staff to consolidate their learning. Find out more here.

7. Abandonment

High quality Abandonment training provision is a win-win:

·         Equip your teams with the right knowledge to maintain well integrity

·         Build future-proof skills for future decommissioning ventures

At Norwell EDGE, as well as offering an Abandonment and Barriers module, we’ve developed a detailed Well Integrity training programme, in collaboration with leading operators TotalEnergies, TAQA, Spirit Energy and Neptune Energy. Aligned with OEUK’s well lifecycle integrity guidelines, the programme is designed to overcome the traditional challenges of well integrity training. Find out more here.
