Virtual training programs are designed to equip workers with the skills to operate drilling equipment. This training helps them to work effectively and efficiently in real-world scenarios. Safety training and tests can be administered to employees through these training programs, making it easier for oil and gas operators to train workers and improve productivity.

3 Day Intensive Oil And Gas Drilling Course

Mark Lammey said in a recent article:

“Robert Gordon University (RGU) has joined forces with Perth-based well engineering firm Merlin ERD to offer an intensive oil and gas drilling course.

The three day programme aims to help oil and gas workers get to grips with extended reach drilling, a technique which increases hydrocarbon production and makes marginal fields more economic.”

The extended reach drilling technique will help in improving the profitability of oil and gas operations, especially in unproductive oil rigs. Offering users a realistic drilling experience, the computer software mimics the drilling equipment used in the industry. The realistic drilling experience will help those who are interested in an oil and gas career to prepare themselves.

Immersive Training Program Developed By LITE

Surveying offshore rigs for safety is made possible by deploying drones. Immersive training offered by the LITE Centre encourages trainees to take safety steps virtually on a computer in an emergency situation. Instead of following safety instructions provided by an instructor, this training program allows you to follow the steps virtually on a computer.

Claire Taylor said in a recent article:

“LITE Center staff tackled the problem, developing a better way to train employees using immersive training, which she described as “really just a video game.”

Instead of a trainer telling employees to takes steps A, B and C during an emergency, immersive training lets the employee take those steps virtually on a computer.

Adam Prejean, lead artist at the LITE Center, demonstrated how offshore oil workers can take safety training and tests via a computer.

The “game” lets the worker walk the platform, clicking on virtual safety hazards like spilled paint, a loose metal panel and a fire hydrant with the improper pressure.”

Similar in feel to a video game, the virtual training program makes the learning process fun and engaging. The simulated training programs make it possible to train workers in hard to access areas. Read this article to learn more about virtual training programs for oil and gas workers.
