ADVANCED RIG ELECTRICIAN PROGRAMME (AREP)
Introduction
The Advanced Rig Electrician Programme (AREP) is the third, advanced level electrical training programme of the ModuSpec Academy and is intended to bring the knowledge of operations and electrical rig equipment of drilling maintenance staff to a higher, specialist level. Due to the in-depth nature of the course, it is recommended as the next step for candidates who have successfully completed ModuSpec's Rig Electrician Programme and to all who want to broaden their knowledge of electrical equipment on drilling units.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at:
- Electricians who have attended ModuSpec's Rig Equipment Programme and have potential to advance within their discipline
- Rig Electricians with several years' experience on drilling rigs
- Electricians who are on a company promotional scheme and who have shown a capability to advance but require additional training
- Senior Rig Electricians who move between different rig types
- Electricians who are to be given additional equipment responsibilities
Objectives
This programme is designed to:
- Give Electricians with experience of drilling equipment and operations a chance to increase their knowledge of a wider range of maintenance activities
- Allow the trainees to carry out complex maintenance procedures, fault-find and run the electrical systems on the rig site in a safer manner with confidence
- Enable trainees to demonstrate the abilities to become a senior member of rig electrical staff
- Expose trainees to various types of equipment, operating procedures, compliance regulations, maintenance tasks and rig electrical operations
- Provide candidates with sufficient knowledge of electrical equipment to support them in advancing from Rig Electrician to a more senior position
Programme Content
The programme contains an extensive overview of electrical equipment and issues associated with drilling units, among others:
- Power management of generators
- Elmagco brake systems
- Instrumentation interface
- Drive systems
- Hazardous-area equipment selection and specification
- Generic maintenance procedures
- Fault analysis
- Assistance required for the installation and upgrade of equipment
Structure
The 10-day programme is divided into two 5-day classroom sessions and consists of both theoretical and practical components. The candidates are required to complete tasks, assignments and exams to demonstrate competence in their chosen field.
The Advanced Rig Electrician Programme forms a structured way of determining the ability of a trainee to advance. Business case studies, system breakdown analyses and maintenance system tools are presented during the classroom sessions to ensure ongoing learning. Practical assignments, to be completed in the period between the two sessions, are intended to have Electricians carry out specific electrical system reviews, in-depth examination of the maintenance, and allow them to assess their impact of the electrical systems on rig operations.
Qualifications
Upon successful completion of the Advanced Rig Electrician Programme, the candidates will receive a ModuSpec Certificate of Completion or, in case of a final exam score below 70%, a ModuSpec Certificate of Attendance.
Duration
10-day classroom session, divided into the following phases: a 5-day classroom session, followed by approximately 6 months of on-the-job work assignments and assessment, completed by a second 5-day classroom session.
