This course is intended to develop skills to conduct Inspection and Acceptance Tests on drilling and work over rigs based on API, ANSI, ISO and IADC standards through the application of check lists and procedures to verify the working conditions and readiness of major rig systems and equipment.
The course starts with a detailed description and specification of main rig systems and equipment used for drilling and work over operations and continues with the discussion of specific procedures and check lists implemented for conducting rig equipment inspection. Finalizing with a methodology used for rig sizing and selection.

Instructor has more than 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, spanning service, supply, operations, and academia. He began his career as a wireline field engineer before joining an independent exploration and production company as a field engineer, where he managed wellsite drilling, completion, and workover operations. He later advanced to Drilling and Completion Manager, overseeing multiple simultaneous drilling and completion projects across U.S. onshore operations. By the end of his 15-year tenure, he was serving as the company’s Exploration and Production Manager. During this period, the company experienced significant growth, and its E&P division was eventually sold to a major independent operator. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Ocean Engineering from Florida Atlantic University. He is an active member and past Section President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and holds, or is eligible to hold, the major certifications required for wellsite operations both onshore and offshore.
This course is designed for Drilling Supervisors, Drilling Engineers, Drilling Team Leaders, Rig Managers, Tool Pushers, Drillers, Service Companies Specialists and Management personnel who will benefit from learning about the practical aspects of rig inspection, sizing and selection procedures.
