<h2><strong>About this Training Course</strong></h2>
<p>The drill string is the simplest piece of equipment in use on a drilling rig and at the same time, the most critical piece. We use the qualifier 'basic' because although 99% of the drill string comprises plain tubes that are just screwed together, the lowest section, just above the bit, can go to extreme loading and is fitted with highly sophisticated electronics packages providing both positional and lithological data as well as a steering system to drive and orient the bit.</p>
<p>The principle tasks of the drill string are also deceptively simple. These are to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Convey each drill bit to the bottom of the hole and then to retrieve it when worn,</li>
<li>Act as a conduit to convey drilling fluid at high pressure down to the bit and</li>
<li>Transmit torque from surface to bit, occasionally in concert with a hydraulic motor to drive this bit.</li>
</ol>
<p>This 3 full-day course will cover in detail what it takes to decide on minimum drill string specifications, which are able to support the loads to which it will be subjected. In addition to the need to use a drill string with minimum strength requirements, we also need to ensure that we can prevent drill string failure. If the failure consists of a small split or leak of any kind, then the time involved may be little more than that required for a roundtrip to change the bit. If the string parts, then the recovery is likely to take a considerable amount of time. In a worst case scenario, the fish in the hole may prove impossible to retrieve, requiring a sidetrack.</p>
<p>A less than optimal design of the string will reduce the efficiency of the operation and almost always leads to premature bit wear. This is particularly true when we are unable to measure and control the dynamics of the drill string as a whole and the bottomhole assembly in particular. Axial vibrations, torsional vibrations and lateral vibrations may take place in various degrees of severity. The behaviour of the drill string while operating under torsional vibrations is thought to be of great importance and may result in torsional buckling.</p>
<p>This course will also cover the drilling optimization limiters, how to identify them and how to remove them. This is done by understanding the drill string dynamics - by operating under the most favourable conditions and by measuring the dynamics in the vicinity of the bit (or at the bit) in order to make timely adjustments.</p>

Target Audience 

</div>
<div id="collapseTwo">
<div>
<p>This course is intended for <strong>staff directly or indirectly involved in the delivery of challenging wells such as junior to senior well engineers, both in office-based planning and operations and field-based operator/contractor supervisory staff such as company men and toolpushers.</strong></p>

<div id="collapseFive">
<div>
<p>Your expert course leader has over 45 years of experience in the Oil &amp; Gas industry. During that time, he has worked exclusively in the well engineering domain. After being employed in 1974 by Shell, one of the major oil &amp; gas producing operators, he worked as an apprentice on drilling rigs in the Netherlands. After a year, he was sent for his first international assignment to the Sultanate of Oman where he climbed up the career ladder from Assistant Driller, to Driller, to wellsite Petroleum Engineer and eventually on-site Drilling Supervisor, actively engaged in the drilling of development and exploration wells in almost every corner of this vast desert area. At that time, drilling techniques were fairly basic and safety was just a buzz word, but such a situation propels learning and the fruits of 'doing-the-basics' are still reaped today when standing in front of a class.</p>
<p>After some seven years in the Middle East, a series of other international assignments followed in places like the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Turkey, Denmark, China, Malaysia, and Russia. Apart from on-site drilling supervisory jobs on various types of drilling rigs (such as helicopter rigs) and working environments (such as jungle and artic), he was also assigned to research, to projects and to the company's learning centre. In research, he was responsible for promoting directional drilling and surveying and advised on the first horizontal wells being drilled, in projects, he was responsible for a high pressure drilling campaign in Nigeria while in the learning centre, he looked after the development of new engineers joining the company after graduating from university. He was also involved in international well control certification and served as chairman for a period of three years. In the last years of his active career, he worked again in China as a staff development manager, a position he nurtured because he was able to pass on his knowledge to a vast number of new employees once again.</p>
<p>After retiring in 2015, he has delivered well engineering related courses in Australia, Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, China, South Korea, Thailand, India, Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, The Netherlands, and the United States. The training he provides includes well control to obtain certification in drilling and well intervention, extended reach drilling, high pressure-high temperature drilling, stuck pipe prevention and a number of other ad-hoc courses. He thoroughly enjoys training and is keen to continue taking classes as an instructor for some time to come.</p>

		<h3>Description</h3>
		<p></p><h4><span>Develop confidence &amp; capability in delivering to the camera &amp; conducting interviews.  Develop your own personal brand &amp; impact on camera whether in person 'live', pre-recorded or online.<br /></span></h4>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Available as private Face to Face and virtual sessions (max 12 delegates) - £5,236 Plus VAT</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
	
		<h3>Modules/Lessons</h3>
		<p></p><h4>Delivered over 2-3 days face to face or 4 x 3 hour virtual sessions with 1-2 follow on individual coaching sessions. If the group is small, e.g. 4-5 people, 2 days would be realistic. If the group is larger eg 10-12, then a 3<sup>rd</sup> day is key for time to practice &amp; feedback. </h4>
<h3><b>The Programme split into these key areas:</b></h3>
<ol>
<li>Preparing for an interview or speaking to camera - key research on the topic / guest, key messages to land, key questions to ask</li>
<li>Creating a positive environment around you - with any support team &amp; location as well as the backdrop (including if recording a clip online or virtual)</li>
<li>Developing your personal brand &amp; impact - how you want to come across on camera, e.g. look, energy, positivity, audience connection, humour</li>
<li>Basic media delivery - using autocue, walk &amp; talk outside broadcast, conducting an interview effectively</li>
<li>Writing &amp; delivering a short piece to camera - being clear about your 'red thread', using the 'power of 3' to both remember &amp; land the message</li>
<li>Conducting an interview with impact - relaxing the guest, asking short open questions, actively listening, probing for impact</li>
<li>Handling difficult questions - being ready to do so &amp; how to answer with empathy </li>
</ol>
<p></p>
	
		<h3>Prerequisites</h3>
		<p></p><p>We suggest a <b>blended learning approach</b> to the programme with some <b>self managed learning upfront &amp; post activities</b> to embed the training.</p>
<p>We would suggest some <b>initial engagement with the team</b> to undertake our own research &amp; tailoring of the final programme &amp; approach. And an <b>upfront session with key leaders</b> to hear their perspective &amp; how they will follow up the training.</p>
<p>Each element would be <b>highly practical &amp; engaging</b> - getting each learner involved early &amp; throughout.</p>
<p>A series of <b>practical exercises</b> would be built in including some <b>'live role play' practice (option - with actors) &amp; specific feedback.</b></p>
<p>From the outset, each learner would create their own <b>personal development plan</b> where they capture key learns &amp; specific feedback to work on. If the programme is run virtually, we suggest a few days between each session in order to apply the learning &amp; follow up on progress.</p>
<p>Whether the programme is run in person, virtually or a blend of both, we suggest some additional <b>individual follow on 1 to 1 coaching. </b></p>
<p>This enables us to follow up on initial progress &amp; really tailor the learning to ensure a step change in confidence &amp; capability is achieved.</p>
<p>This 1 to 1 coaching would typically involve 1 - 2 initial sessions of approx. 2 hours per learner. Costs will be provided separately. </p>

Project Management Fundamentals for IT Projects: In-House Training

<h2>Project Management Fundamentals: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>Many projects are performed by highly competent and effective people who have little or no project management training. They perform projects like process improvement, marketing campaign development, new product development, event planning and production, and other 'tasks' which are projects. Project Management Fundamentals (PMF) is designed to support those people who need a solid foundation in project management, without being unnecessarily burdened to learn it while on the job.</p>
 <p>The course offers practical skills, concepts, and principles that can be taken back to the workplace, along with insights needed to adapt them to specific project environments. In today's environment, that means possibly adapting to Agile / Iterative methods. So, we have recently added key Agile concepts to provide a basic understanding of shifting towards agility.</p>
 <p>Since PMF's course goal is to achieve quality performance by learning effective planning and control, the focus is on a process orientation and an analytical, systems-oriented approach. Together, these frameworks promote project-related problem solving and decision-making skills necessary for real world projects. They honor project needs for collaboration, clear communications among people, and interpersonal and relationship skills. Recognition of these needs are woven throughout PMF, but are highlighted in two specific areas:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Module 2 - People and Projects</li>
 <li>Module 8 - Executing, Communicating, and Developing the Team</li>
 </ul><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>
 <p>At the end of this program, you will be able to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Describe the value of strong project management</li>
 <li>Identify characteristics of a successful project and project manager</li>
 <li>Recognize how current agile / adaptive practices fit within project management</li>
 <li>Explore project management processes, including Initiating, Planning, Execution, Monitoring &amp; Controlling, and Closing</li>
 <li>Utilize project management processes and tools, based on case studies and real-world situations</li>
 <li>Create an initial project plan</li>

Fundamentals and Classics
Every Weds 6.30-7.30pm (UK time) from 26 Sept - 12 Dec (no class 17 Oct)
This autumn, we will be going back to exploring fundamental functions and relationships within our selves and our movement through the Feldenkrais Method, encountering classic lessons and discovering new ways to understand ourselves in action.
Each week we will encounter a different function or aspect that is key to our sense of being able to move with ease and freedom through our lives. For instance, we will explore our ability to turn through our spine, to round, extend or bend, as well as enlarging our repertoire of possibilities - looking to move with pleasure and reversibility. 
The first few lessons will explore Fundamental Functions. There will be an early 'half-term' the week of 17th Oct, and then the following weeks we will move through a series of outstanding Classic lessons, that will be useful to return to for yourself.
Audio recordings of each class are available afterwards, so you don't have to attend the class in person, if you can't make that evening.
