Use the simulator for accredited coursework, crew competency, procedure rehearsal, refresher training, and advanced well-control exercises across onshore, offshore, and subsea programs.
Go beyond basic coursework with pressure-control failures, gas migration, stripping, choke and manifold operation, CO₂ influxes, and crew decision-making scenarios.
Pressure, flow, influx, fluids, barriers, and equipment state persist through the complete well-control event.
Shut-in, choke, pump, circulation, and recovery actions change the running physics and preserve their consequences.
Driller, supervisor, instructor, and connected controls work from the same authoritative pressure and barrier state.
