OTC’s Drilling Compliance Course Offers Many Positives for Participants

Many drilling engineers and superintendents, company men, HSE managers, OIM’s, rig managers, tool pushers, subsea engineers, drillers and maintenance staff have completed Offshore Technical Compliance’s Offshore Drilling Regulatory Compliance training and have given it rave reviews.

After attending the five-day (35 hour), IADC-accredited course, participants are able to identify and explain potential regulatory- and compliance-related deficiencies. The knowledge and understanding of applicable offshore drilling regulatory compliance requirements, inspection methodology and skills provided by this course are helping course participants be better informed in their daily jobs.

OTC instructor Dan Phelps, a former lead inspector with the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), recently shared some insights from course participants on the benefits of taking OTC’s Drilling Regulatory Compliance training course.

Top 5 Reasons To Take This Training … And How To Get the Most From It

1. BEST CLASS PARTICIPATION. OTC’s Drilling Regulatory Compliance training course is not like other regulatory courses that simply review the latest regulations. This is a class people really want to be there for and participate in so they can be better at their jobs and even enhance their businesses.

2. LEADING-EDGE CUSTOMIZED TRAINING. There is a lot of peer-training happening in the oil and gas industry, so you want to be sure your 30-plus-year industry veterans are passing on the latest, most accurate information to those who have only been in the industry for six month. OTC’s Drilling Regulatory Compliance training covers the basics of how to navigate the CFR, but our focus is for participants – at every level – to gain a deeper understanding of the regulations. What makes OTC’s approach leading edge in regulatory training is that we can customize our training to a specific level for each group – whether technical, field level or management.

3. ASK ANY QUESTION. In this course, we expect participants to ask questions. We can answer questions for those fairly new to the industry, as well as offering guidance to those who have been in the industry for decades. We have the background and experience to offer perspective on most situations that may come up in the course of a project.

4. WE OFFER BSEE PERSPECTIVE. Who else could be better to explain regulatory compliance than someone who has worked with BSEE? We have a thorough understanding of BSEE regulations because we have been in the field with BSEE as inspectors and engineers. Additionally, we stay connected with BSEE to be sure we are providing the most accurate and up-to-date information to participants. Our experience working with and for BSEE, also means we understand the trade-craft secrets to ensure a project is in compliance.

5. NO FEAR OF REPERCUSSIONS. There is no other class out there where someone can feel free to ask any question or voice a concern without fear of potential blowback … and receive an answer from a BSEE-compliance perspective. As former BSEE inspectors, we can offer insights in a safe, no-fault environment so participants can feel free to ask questions without running into potential incidents of non-compliance complications. Our goal is to help avoid PINC’s by offering understanding and perspective on regulations to help participants resolve and prevent these situations.
