Training & competency

Zero competence exposure on the client job.

HG Wells training and job planning at a desk

Competence Assurance Program

HG Wells runs its own bespoke Competence Assurance Program (CAP), tailored to its Slickline and Wellhead Maintenance services. It maps employees from trainee level through to senior operator — after which they can move onto the Supervisor Competence program.

  1. 01Trainee
  2. 02Assistant Operator
  3. 03Operator
  4. 04Senior Operator
  5. 05Supervisor

Senior field staff hold IWCF Level 4 Well Control, and the CAP also includes Well Control modules designed around HG Wells' core services.

The Personal Log

Every candidate and employee has a record of the basic and critical tasks required to obtain and prove competence, how many times each task has been successfully completed, and the level at which it was performed:

  • Under Supervision
  • Normal Operation
  • Supervising the Task

Crew deployment decisions use this record, so the assigned crew always contains the right level of competence for the job task.

Training

All staff complete the required basic training modules, in house or via third-party providers depending on topic. Practical technical training runs internally through tool training sessions or operational simulation, both assessed by the Competency Assessor. Theoretical sessions are delivered internally against the specific competence criteria.

Competence-based training for others

HG Wells can provide competence-based training to its own employees or to third parties, including clients. Combining practical and theoretical training, it can be in-depth for candidates directly involved in the service, or at appreciation level for clients needing a basic understanding.

Equipment inventory

Land or offshore. Owned and ready.

Standard and Bespoke equipment packages tailored to clients operational requirements, covering onshore or offshore operational environments. Package capability across Slickline / Wireline, Well Head Maintenance across a full range of completion sizes and well pressure requirements.
