At our massive training facility in Stavanger, Aker
Well Service gives future generations of offshore
technicians first-hand experience in critical well
intervention activities.
Up until recently, it was common practice for oil
companies to send new personnel onboard a
production platform to undergo on-the-job training.
Today; the number of the world’s production sites
is soaring, along with production costs and thecertificate requirements to crews. While onboard
training is increasingly considered too costly,
risky and time consuming, the hands-on practical
training that it provided is as important as ever.
Aker Solutions’ Well Intervention Academy is located
at Forus; the heart of Norway’s petroleum industry.
The centre consists of complete testing and
training facilities needed to get as close to real
offshore conditions as possible. While offering
practical and theoretical training in today’s and
tomorrow’s well intervention techniques, the
facilities also enable Aker Well Service and our
clients to test the performance of well interventionequipment; in existing and in new applications.
Training
Human error is recorded as the leading cause of
HSE incidents. Intensive, realistic training situations
provide the best opportunity to improve HSE perfor-
mance and employees’ judgement in critical situa-
tions. As HSE performance is top priority for Aker
Well Service and our customers, we have made
HSE training a focus area in the academy. All
theoretical and practical training includes HSE
procedures and best practice review as an
integrated part of the course.
The Well Intervention Academy offers over 20
different courses on a range of well intervention,
HSE and certificate based topics. In cooperation
with our satellite centre, we offer IWCF certifica-
tion for both Well Intervention and Rotary Drilling
in Stavanger and Bergen. Our courses are offered
not only to Aker Solutions’ employees, but also to
our customers. Our courses range from introduc-
tory courses to highly technical courses in
operation and maintenance of complex tools
and services.
Testing
The testing facilities at the Well Intervention Academy can test wireline tractors and wireline
tractor applications, wireline surface equipment,
down-hole equipment, logging equipment and
riserless well intervention equipment.

The main objective for the test
and training centre:
• Reduce the risk of accidents and incidents
• Hands-on training
• Testing of equipment
• Develop and test new technology
• Customized tests to client’s requirements
Testing and development
Being able to test new technology in controlledsurroundings is a huge advantage in preference to
testing in an offshore well; you have more control
and overview over the situation. You eliminate the
risk of misruns and loss of production; there are
reduced HSE hazards; and it will minimize
down-time by pinpointing faults at an early stage.
Facilities
The Aker Solutions Well Intervention Academy
features new and state-of-the-art technology
to prepare our well intervention technicians for the
future operating environment. The centre offers
highly modern and practical facilities, with
everything situated within the perimeter of thebase. In addition to classrooms, canteen, work-
shop and showroom; the centre also includes
a 28 m high skid-able well intervention tower,
a 50 m long horizontal tractor loop, control-room,
a 40 m deep vertical well and a 390 m completed
well with the opportunity to pressurize and
circulate.
We employ direct-electric winches, as these will
increasingly take over for diesel and electric/
hydraulic-driven. The academy’s next generation
control systems allows training in wireline, logging
and tractor control, as well as operations, andintegrated control of all three at once.
Operational performance is our top key
performance indicator, and we strive to
achieve world class performance.

Coursephilosophy
One of Aker Well Service’s core values is
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE). All our
procedures and guidelines are modeled with
HSE in focus and are implemented throughout
our organization; offshore as well as onshore
including the Well Intervention Academy (WIA).
We can offer a great variety of well intervention
courses; ranging from introduction to the oil &
gas industry to more specific areas as wireline
operations, basic completion courses as well
as courses in wireline tractor and cased hole
logging. In addition, AWS is certified to offer
IWCF courses and certification (pressure
control) in both drilling and well intervention
which we arrange on a regular basis.
Our main philosophy is “hands on training”,
meaning all our courses combine theory with
practical demonstration of surface equipmentand downhole tools. All of the equipment at
WIA is identical with equipment utilized in
offshore operations.
Integrated Operations (IO) is a field that
is getting more and more attention and
this will also be a focus area in the years
to come. IO is one of our focus areas, and
AWS is a great contributor in the development
of new technology and standards as well as
finding alternative solutions to perform well
interventions.
WIA is equipped with state-of-the-art
equipment such as fully electrical wirelinewinches which can be operated from remote
locations, live data transfer allowing monitoring
of offshore operations and more.
Course types:
We separate our courses into three groups:
Pressure control, introductory and common
courses. Our IWCF pressure control courses are
fulfilled with a certifying IWCF exam. Our intro-
ductory courses require no previous knowledge.
Our common courses are intended for personnel
with some experience. These recommended
requirements are thoroughly described in the
course descriptions in this catalogue. In additionto the courses in the course catalogue, we are
working continuously to improve our range of
courses. We can also make adjusted courses
custom made for our customers’ needs. All our
courses are constantly updated and improved.
The training conducted at AWS is certified to ISO
9001 and ISO 14001 standard. Our Well
Intervention Academy has also been audited by
the International Well Control Forum (IWCF) and
is certified to issue IWCF certificates in both
rotary drilling and well intervention.
