Aker Solutions' Well Intervention Academy brochure
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 the certificate 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’s 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 facility will also enable Aker Well Service to test the performance of well intervention equipment; in existing and in new applications.
