Wireline pressure control equipment

This course is designed to provide a practical and operational understanding of wireline pressure control equipment (WPCE)

The program focuses on safe execution of slickline jobs, correct handling of tools and equipment, operational discipline, and awareness of pressure control requirements. Emphasis is placed on operational and preventive maintenance, equipment readiness, and risk awareness during operations conducted in pressure-controlled well environments.

The course can be tailored to suit either your company owned assets, or to comply with your client’s operations manuals.

Enhancing your personnel knowledge of WPCE and its operational procedures to allow them to delivery safe & efficient operations at the wellsite.
