Tulsa, Oklahoma (PRWEB) November 04, 2013 -- PetroSkills, one of the leading providers of technical training within the oil and gas industry, has announced the company will be sponsoring the “How to Build a Performance-Ready Drilling Engineer” webinar. Sponsored in conjunction with the International Association of Drilling Contractors, the webinar will air November 14, 2013 and offers several important advantages.
The webinar is rich in content and explores what "green drilling engineers" must know in today's high-activity industry. “The drilling industry needs competent engineers and we needed them yesterday,” said Mike Killalea, IADC Group Vice-President/Publisher. “This webinar on developing performance-ready drilling engineers could not be more timely or of greater value.”
To ensure that attendees are presented with an accurate education model, the webinar will include a practical example of bringing a young engineer up to speed to deal with a specific problem. Within the scenario, instructors will address several different possible outcomes, as well as how to avoid near misses and how to assess and avoid risks.
Three highly qualified speakers will head up the webinar. These include Ron Hinn, executive vice president of training with PetroSkills; Bruce G. Kitchel, chief drilling and completions engineer, Gulf Coast Business Unit with ConocoPhillips; and James Bobo, ConocoPhillips principle drilling engineer and well construction discipline manager with PetroSkills.
