IADC WellSharp Certification

     

UL Lafayette Petroleum Engineering is an accredited IADC WellSharp Well Control training provider.

Every semester, the Petroleum Engineering department provides a 2-day IADC WellSharp certification course. 

The IADC WellSharp is a revolutionary well control training and assessment program. It is the result of a collaborative industry effort. The WellSharp program emphasizes rigorous training for every person with well control responsibilities, whether office- or rig-based. Trainees gain more in-depth knowledge, well-honed role-specific skills, and a greater confidence that they know what to do to prevent incidents or, in the unforeseen event of a well control incident, respond swiftly and appropriately.
