At our renowned training facility in Stavanger, ALTUS Intervention gives future generations of offshore technicians first-hand experience in critical well intervention activities.
It has been considered common practice for oil companies to send new personnel onboard a production platform to undergo on-the-job training. Today, the number of the world’s production sites is soaring, along with production costs and the certificate requirements to crews. While onboard training is increasingly considered too costly, risky and time consuming, the hands-on practical training that it provided is as important as ever. ALTUS’ Academy of Well Intervention is located at Forus; the heart of Norway’s petroleum industry. The centre consists of complete testing and training facilities needed to get as close to real offshore conditions as possible. While offering practical and theoretical training in today’s and tomorrow’s well intervention techniques, the facilities also enable ALTUS Intervention and our clients to test the performance of well intervention equipment; in existing and in new applications. Training Human error is recorded as the leading cause of HSE incidents. Intensive, realistic training situations provide the best opportunity to improve HSE performance and employees’ judgement in critical situations. As HSE performance is top priority for ALTUS Intervention and our customers, we have made HSE training a focus area in the academy. All theoretical and practical training includes HSE procedures and best practice review as an integrated part of the course.The Academy of Well Intervention offers courses on a range of well intervention, HSE and certificate based topics. In cooperation with our satellite centre, we offer IWCF certification for both Well Intervention and Rotary Drilling in Stavanger and Bergen. Our courses are offered not only to ALTUS Interventions’ employees, but also to our customers. Our courses range from introductory courses to highly technical courses in operation and maintenance of complex tools and services.

Modeling a job is an important task during planning and performing the operation. This course will give you an introduction to the Cerberus simulation, you will learn how to do a simulation and re-simulate during the job. Understanding output from modeling as the importance of correct input and the effect of different parameter will be covered during the course. Practical example will be used to illustrate. Introduction to simulation Use of simulation - Understand output from modeling Job planning Re-simulation during job Job examples and challenges Practical exercises and discussion The Academy of Well Intervention 5 2/2/18 15:07

Wireline HPHT Course
Chiksan
Light Well Intervention
Duration: 2 days
Duration: 1 day
Duration: 2 days
Duration: 1 day
The mechanical wireline training is an introduction to the key elements of wireline intervention performed by ALTUS Intervention. Well control is the most important safety aspect and the course will present the organisational and technical barriers in place with wireline intervention.
The 1 day HPHT is a compressed course but still based on the full HPHT course template. The course will give a basic introduction to HPHT including equipment and procedures to allow people achieve an understanding of the equipment selection and well control.
This course covers the basics concerning chiksan equipment and its use. Participants will get a basic knowledge in how to plan, rig up and recognize hazards regarding chiksan operations.
This course will give you a introduction to Light Well Intervention. The vessels, operational system and how and intervention method and capabilities is part of the course.
The training presents the contents of a wireline package; winch package, pressure control equipment and downhole tools. The training course have lessons in class and demonstration on actual equipment at WIA, our Well Intervention Academy.
