Aberdeen Drilling School Ltd

Aberdeen Drilling School is a training company and a member of the RelyOn Nutec Group with facilities in Scotland, Malaysia, Indonesia, The Netherlands, Norway, Mexico. Oman, and Saudi Arabia.

Aberdeen Drilling School, founded in 1982, has long been recognised as a leader in well control training, offering both public courses and customised courses for individual client companies.

Well Control & Intervention is the core of the business which is realised in our weekly IWCF and IADC accredited Well Control course for drilling and well services. Over the years, the company has broadened the range of training provided with a focus on drilling and well engineering.

Awareness programmes have become an increasingly popular component of our portfolio of courses. We offer a range of awareness courses which are open to the public and designed to provide a basic understanding of drilling and well services operations and equipment. These courses run monthly or quarterly and can be booked online.

Graduate Training and early career well engineering courses can be packaged in 10, 15, or 20-day formats, delivered either in one of our own training centres or at the client’s location. These courses are for individual companies and are designed to develop the technical skills of early career engineers in preparation for further field training and further specialist courses.

We offer a range of specialist courses which fall under the banners of Performance Improvement /Drilling Optimisation. These include 5 or 10-day Drilling Optimisation courses for the more experienced well engineer or for a drilling team looking to improve collaborative working on well planning and execution. Other specialist courses include Stuck Pipe Prevention, HPHT and Deepwater Well Engineering and Well Control.

We also provide Rig-Site Services and consultancy for specific well planning and well control projects. Our rig-site well control training and coaching focuses on optimising the performance of rig crews and ensuring that agreed procedures are followed, particularly in the case of challenging environments such as HPHT and Deepwater.
