MDS Objective & Philosophy

The objective of this two-day course is to assist experienced surface personnel, from Assistant Driller through Toolpusher, in making the change to floating drilling operations. This course not only exposes individuals to the different and unfamiliar systems, such as motion compensators and BOP control systems, but also explains the shift in thinking that is necessary for successful, deepwater operations.

The course is taught by Willie Lyon, a Petroleum Engineer out of Texas A&M. Willie has 43 years experience, including land operations, jack-ups, semi-submersibles, and drill ships. His experience gives him unique insight into the difficulties fixed structure personnel have in transitioning to the deepwater environment, no matter how experienced they are.

Methods
