COURSE OVERVIEW
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to slickline and wireline operations, combining essential theoretical knowledge with practical field applications. Participants will gain hands-on understanding of wireline equipment, well intervention tools, rig-up procedures, and operational safety. Practical training is conducted at a specialized Test & Training Center in Norway, featuring a 300 m test well completed to 200 m depth, with 5.5” and 4.5” tubing, multiple SPMs, nipples, and re-completion options for different testing scenarios. The facility also provides dedicated clean and “dirty” classrooms, workshop facilities, a large surface-testing area, and experienced personnel to support practical training and testing activities.
The key topics covered in this course include:
○ Wireline equipment information and specifications. Barrier philosophy.
○ Sidepocket mandrels, downhole safety valve, tubing hanger and Xmas tree.
○ Rigging up wireline equipment and running in hole for pulling GLV/Latch Plug.
○ Inspection of different completion components in the classroom.
○ Preparation of wireline tools for running in hole, including kick-over tools for SPM (pull GLV) and GS for latching plug profiles.
○ Safety during wireline operations and emergency procedures.

INSTRUCTOR
Instructor
The instructor began his offshore career in 2009 as a Mechanical Wireline Apprentice with Archer, subsequently progressing to the roles of Operator, Senior Operator, and Well Specialist. In addition to his operational responsibilities, he served for 13 years as an instructor at the Norwegian Drilling Academy, where he integrated extensive field experience with structured training and competence development.
Following an international assignment in Qatar as a Field Engineer with Eplug, he returned to Norway as an Operator and Well Specialist, contributing to both operational planning and supervisory functions. He currently holds an onshore position as Instructor and Training & Competence Supervisor, with responsibility for personnel development and the maintenance of high operational and safety standards.
