Introduction
Planned maintenance and correct inspections are essential for the proper functioning of a drilling rig, reduction of rig downtime and personnel safety.
ModuSpec's Rig Inspection Workshop (RIW) presents the correct inspection and maintenance procedures needed to ensure the integrity of equipment on land rigs, platform rigs and jack-up rigs. Candidates learn to implement the correct standards and to understand the requirements of the industry, so that the condition of equipment can be verified and safety improved, thus reducing the number of accidents and protecting the asset.
Who should attend?
This workshop is aimed at Drilling Supervisors, Drilling Engineers, Drilling Managers, HSE Consultants, Rig Managers, Maintenance Supervisors, Toolpushers, Drillers, Mechanics and Electricians.
