1.0 Introduction
Engineering is the art of organizing and directingmen and controlling the forces and materials ofnature for the benefit of the human race.Henry G. Stott (1907)
We will forgive Mr Stott his lack of insight into the advancement of women withinengineering; but outside of this, his statement still rings true - and nowhere more sothan in the field of well engineering.
Offshore drilling is a demanding profession, operating where heavy industry meetsthe ocean. In today's peak oil environment, oil and gas companies are more than
ever looking offshore to meet relentless demand for fossil fuels.
At sea, an oil or gas well becomes a major engineering project costing tens ofmillions of dollars. Day and night, challenges of wind, wave, heat and corrosion,pressure and geology must be faced and overcome. Delivering the job on time andon budget requires world-class equipment, field-proven systems and competent,committed people.
Fraser Offshore is home to people who thrive in this environment. Our engineers,wellsite supervisors and support specialists have the skills and professionalismnecessary to design and construct wells to the highest standards. We are passionate
about our work and focussed on our product: - Safe, clean, cost-effective wells.
We believe that well engineering is a true vocation; a lifetime career in whichexpertise has worldwide application. Mastery of this field takes time - skills andexperience must be acquired over several years and many wells in order to achievea standalone level of competence.Fraser Offshore's Drilling Engineering Training Scheme (DETS) combines classroomtraining with a structured programme of work. The DETS is delivered over a 3-5years period, offers entry level drill crew experience and mentoring by seasoned wellengineering professionals. Training is flexible and is tailored to meet individualrequirements. Duration of training is dependent upon entry-level experience and
individual progress.

2.0 Drilling Engineering a short history
Mankind has for centuries sunk wellbores into the ground in search of water. By themid-19th century early oil wells were being drilled. Colonel Edwin Drake was one of
the first pioneers of oilwell drilling. This is the story of his famous well at Titusville,Pennsylvania:-
In 1859 Edwin Drake, a retired railway man, washired by the Seneca Oil Company to investigate oildeposits in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Drake had thebenefit of free railway travel, hence could travel towork cheaply. This was thought to be a factor in hisselection by Seneca.
Drake purchased a steam engine to power hisprimitive cable-tool drilling rig. It took some time to
drill through the layers of surface sand and gravel. At16 feet (5 m) the sides of the hole began to collapse.The drill crew began to despair, but not Drake. It wasat this point that he devised the idea of a drive pipe,still used as the starting point for most oil wells. Thiscast iron pipe consisted of ten foot long joints. Thepipe was driven down into the ground. Drilling
continued and at 32 feet (10 m) they struck bedrock.
The going was slow. Progress was made atthe rate of just three feet (1 m) per day. Thewell was soon nicknamed "Drake's Folly",and crowds of people came to jeer at the
unproductive operation.
By now the Seneca Oil Company hadabandoned their man. Drake had to rely onfriends to back the enterprise.
On August 27 1859 Drake had perseveredwith his drill bit, reaching a depth of 69.5 feet(21 m). The men packed up for the day. Thenext morning Drakes driller, Billy Smith,looked into the hole in preparation foranother days work. He was surprised anddelighted to see crude oil rising up. Drakewas summoned and the oil was brought tothe surface with a hand pump.
The oil was collected in a bath tub.

Much has changed since 1859. Top hats and tailcoats are now scarce at the wellsite.Pipelines, not bathtubs, are used to export the product. However, it is clear from thisshort story that Drake shared many of the characteristics that still define a successfuldrilling engineer.
He had technical skills, ingenuity and determination
He could hold a team together in the face of adversity
He understood rigs, people and the downhole environment
Since the days of Colonel Drake, many people have made their living drilling oil andgas wells. Drilling techniques and materials have been greatly refined. Modern wellsmay be drilled to depths in excess of 5,000m vertical depth and have achieved lateralstepouts in excess of 10,000m. As technology has evolved, so have the capabilitiesof the men and women responsible for designing and drilling these wells.
The early twentieth century saw a huge rise in demand for petroleum products. Oiland gas wells were drilled in ever-greater numbers, initially in the United States,South America and Canada; later across the world. The crews drilling these earlywells worked with powerful but simple equipment. Wells were drilled vertically torelatively shallow depths. If control of the well was lost, the resulting blowout wasaccepted as normal business
Refinements in geophysics andpetroleum geology allowedmore precision in choosing welllocations so the oil wasrelatively easy to find. The
drilling industry neededpractical, hard-working men buthad no great need forengineering skills orcalculations.
The twentieth century marchedon and the developed worldbecame ever more dependenton petroleum products. Powergeneration, home and officeheating, automotive andaviation industries all ran onoil or natural gas. The strategicimportance of oil was
underlined during two world wars, where the ability to secure and transport fuelsupplies was in many campaigns the deciding factor.
As onshore oil from the domestic United States began to peak, new production cameon stream from giant fields in South America and the Middle East, where US andEuropean oil companies enjoyed a benign relationship with a series of compliantgovernments.

In the latter half of the twentieth century the picture changed. With the developedworld now highly dependent on oil and gas, a new wave of nationalism arose in theoil-producing nations. In 1960 the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries OPEC was founded. With OPEC willing and able to regulate the supply of oil to the
market, the early 1970s were marked by a series of oil price shocks. The price of oil,static for almost a century at $2 to $3 per barrel, climbed to $10, then $20 and $30per barrel.
Suddenly it became economic to seek oil and gas offshore rather than onshore.Huge offshore plays began to open up, initially in the Gulf of Mexico and later in theNorth Sea, spreading throughout the world.

New rig designs were developed for offshore drilling jackup rigs suitable for waterdepths up to 100m, semi-submersibles capable of drilling in far greater depths.Exploratory drilling could now be carried out almost anywhere on the continentalshelf
Once offshore oil and gas reservoirs were located, giant steel or concrete productionplatforms were installed and pipelines hooked up.
Figure 5 North Sea production platform
Well designs became more complex; onshore, a large oil reservoir would beproduced by drilling hundreds of low-cost vertical wells to access all parts. Offshore,the field would need to be developed from a central production platform from whichwells would reach out directionally to achieve the same coverage.

The high costs of offshore drilling dictated a new approach to the previously-haphazard business of planning oil and gas wells. The new deviated and horizontalwells had to be custom-designed and carefully constructed. Such wells werestretching the limits of technology in many areas; mud systems, drill bits, directionaltools, metallurgy and more.
The offshore oil or gas well had become a major engineering project costing tens ofmillions of dollars. Such wells could only be designed and drilled by companies withthe necessary skill sets. The need for trained drilling engineers was evident.
The North Sea has been at the forefront of offshore drilling technology since the1970s. For some years major oil companies such as BP and Shell systematicallytrained drilling engineers in well-structured schemes combining classroom trainingwith on-the-job experience. Graduates of these schemes are today found in seniorwell engineering positions worldwide.
Since the mid-1990s, however, major oil companies have greatly reduced theirtraining programmes for drilling engineers. This stems partly from the fluctuating
drilling activity stemming from oil price instability, and partly from the growingtendency for such companies to outsource the provision of drilling expertise.
As a drilling project management company, Fraser Offshore Limited (FOL) is one of asmall group of companies capable of providing such outsourced drilling expertise.FOL has a fundamental business need to field top-class drilling engineers andwellsite supervisors. Based on a proven template for such programmes, the FOLDrilling Engineer Training Scheme (DETS) is presented below.

3.0 What is a drilling engineer?
A drilling engineer is a specialist engineer who plans, costs, schedules andsupervises the drilling of oil and gas wells. The drilling engineers scope includesinitial well design, drilling and completion, testing and workover operations.
Offshore drilling operations are expensive; a modern mobile drilling rig can cost up to$500,000 per day to operate. Total cost per well for offshore drilling is rarely less than$10 million and can be several times that. As wells are drilled to deeper, higher-pressure objectives the technical challenges multiply.
The prime responsibility of the drilling engineer is to ensure the well is both designedand constructed to a standard whereby pressure integrity is maintained. Unplannedrelease of wellbore fluids (blowout) must be avoided both while drilling the well and
during the wells production lifetime.
The quality of the drilling engineers work has a major impact on the safety of drillcrew members and the overall project spend. The work requires a combination ofskills including technical ability, communication skills, team-working and leadership.

Drilling Engineering is the sum of a number of sub-disciplines or skills, the mostimportant of which are:-
Well design Selection of sizes, depths, materials, trajectories and fluidsystems in order to achieve well objectives and life-of-well pressure integrity.
Well Control Avoiding uncontrolled release of wellbore fluids
Wellsite supervision Translating the well design into reality at the wellsite ina safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective manner
Casing Design A subset of well design, with emphasis on selection andanalysis of casing strings
Drilling Fluids Engineering the drilling and completion fluids used inconstructing and completing the well
Cementing Selection of appropriate cement slurry designs and placementtechniques to ensure effective long-tem pressure isolation and protection for
casings
Directional Drilling Tools and techniques to deviate the wellbore from thevertical
Selection of bits and drive systems Ensuring best cost-per-foot by judiciousselection of drillbits and the downhole or surface power systems used to drivethem
Drilling engineers are employed on land,on offshore platforms or on mobile drillingunits, usually by the operating oilcompany, sometimes by a specialistcontractor or a service company.
The role involves administering drillingand service contracts, engineering designand the planning of wells, and supervisingthe drilling crew on site.
Drilling engineers work with otherprofessionals, such as geologists andgeoscientists, rig managers and servicespecialists to agree well objectives,
monitor drilling progress, oversee safetymanagement and ensure the protection ofthe environment.

4.0 DETS objective
The objective of the Scheme is to produce competent, motivated individuals
capable of following career paths in drilling engineering, drilling supervision ordrilling contractor management.
The DETS combines classroom training and a structured programme of work throughwhich trainees will develop a sound grasp of drilling engineering and associateddisciplines. In the course of acquiring technical skills, trainees are expected todevelop judgement, maturity and vital leadership skills.
The DETS runs in partnership with drilling contractors who offer vital entry-level drillcrew experience. Following on from this experience, some drilling engineers chooseto follow a career path through rig crew positions into drilling contractor managementranks.
Whatever route is followed, the Scheme allows trainees to maximise their potentialthrough the combination of hands-on work experience, classroom training and well-informed mentoring.
Duration of DETS training depends upon individual progression and the opportunitiespresented by the workflow of projects within FOLs business model.

5.0 Scheme Outline.
The DETS is delivered over a 3-5 year period depending upon entry-level experienceand individual progress. The timeframes detailed herein are for guidance only and
should not be viewed as set in stone.
Drilling engineering is a broad field, embracing several sub-disciplines and specialistbranches. There is value in experiencing job roles both onshore and at the wellsite.In some companies an early choice is forced between onshore engineering /management roles and offshore supervisory roles. FOL requires its engineers to becomfortable in either environment i.e. office or wellsite and maintains a mix of the twothroughout the DETS.
Appendix 1 (Drilling Engineer Career Map) presents a very general outline of therelative seniority and progression between onshore and offshore job roles.
In addition to technical competencies, DETS trainees will be expected to acquire and
demonstrate top-end skills in vital non-engineering competencies including:- Management of wellsite safety
Environmental awareness
Leadership and motivation
Team working and communication
Planning and logistics
Commercial Awareness

6.0 Mentoring and Appraisals
DETS Trainees will be allocated a mentor drawn from senior staff at FOL. Mentorshave themselves experienced a similar sequence of training and development within
the drilling industry. They are a vital source of advice, information and support.
The mentor is a vital sounding-board and is available to the trainee on a routine basis and if in need, on a 24-hours basis.
A competency logbook will be issued and should be completed for each stage oftraining. The logbook forms a record of progress and assists in identifying furthertraining needs.
FOL operates a system of annual performance review; DETS trainees will participatein this process.
7.0 Engineering Institutions
All FOL engineers are encouraged to join the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE),an international body. SPE does not grant chartered engineer status.
At this time the FOL DETS is not accredited by any UK or European-basedengineering institutions which can grant chartered engineer status. It is notuncommon for drilling engineers to become chartered engineers, normally throughthe Institution of Mechanical Engineers (I.Mech.E) or the Institute of Materials,minerals and Mining (IOM3) however; the profile of chartership as a badge of
competence within the international oil industry is very low by comparison with thestatus afforded chartered engineers in other industries within the UK.
Successful completion of the FOL DETS will, however, provide trainees withdocumented evidence of training, experience and managerial responsibility. This willgreatly assist with any application to the UK institutions in pursuit of chartered status.

8.0 Programme Details
8.1 Rig Crew trainingDETS trainees are required to start at thesharp end of the drilling business. Theoilfield has a culture and vocabulary all ofits own, and this phase of the training canbe viewed as learning the language.
Trainees will spend part or all of the firstyear working on an offshore drilling rig as amember of a roustabout crew. This willtypically be on North Sea mobile rig on atwo or three-week equal-time rotation.
Before going offshore, trainees will attendoffshore fire and survival training and willneed to pass an offshore medical.
The work is physically demanding, working12-hour shifts at the bottom end of thehighly-stratified chain of command. Taskswill include working with cranes, cleaningdecks and painting. Subject to job slotsarising, trainees showing promise asroustabouts may be able to gain rig floorexperience as a roughneck
Trainees will take part in the drilling contractors competency structure and canexpect to receive formal training in entry-level disciplines such as:-
Risk assessment
Safety observation programmes
Banksman and slinger
Forklift operation
Permit to work
Waste Management
During this period, trainees are actually employed by the drilling contractor and aretreated no differently to any other member of the rig crew. During days off the rig(field break) several days may be spent either in formal training or assisting withoperations in FOLs Offices.

Fraser Offshore Ltd 2011 Page 17 of 22
8.2 Onshore Assignments
On completion of basic rig crew training, trainees will be assigned a shore-basedposition working alongside experienced personnel.
As well as training value, assignments will have real-life deliverables. Trainees will beexpected to keep to deadlines, to interface with clients and service companies andpresent themselves in a professional manner. Typical assignments will include:-
Engineering studies
Materials and logistics projects
Offset well review
Tender analysis
Through interface with mentors, and by reference to competency matrices, traineeswill be able to put their growing list of work experience into context with the overall
competency framework.
Onshore assignments are likely to include short-term work placements with clientcompanies or with service companies.
8.3 Further Offshore Training
From year 2 onwards DETS trainees will be considered for positions in the offshorerig supervisory team. These may include:-
Offshore materials man
Wellsite Drilling Engineer
Night Drilling Supervisor
Again the job role and support regime will be tailored to allow the trainees to performa front-line job while accumulating knowledge and experience within the drillingengineering competency framework.

8.5 DETS Advanced Stages
A feature of the DETS is early responsibility. While trainees spend considerable timein classroom training, work roles are real jobs rather than make-work exercises or
passive observation. The later stages of the programme will comprise of a series ofjob roles through which the trainee will broaden his or her experience and furtherdevelop both technical and non-technical skill sets.
External training opportunities and cross-posting will continue and the trainee willcontinue to benefit from mentoring and support of FOL senior engineering and HRstaff.
Some engineers may wish to specialise in offshore supervision, or in specialisttechnical areas such as subsea or completion engineering, or in commercialmanagement. These tend to be plateau positions in which engineers are working asa fully-capable part of the project team under the guidance of experienced linemanagement.
Over time, as experience is accumulated, the competency matrices are completed.This marks the end of the DETS although there is currently no formal mechanism bywhich people graduate from the scheme.
After six to eight years in trainee and standalone engineering positions, someengineers will achieve senior engineer or drilling superintendent status, or willprogress to a position as a day drilling supervisor. These positions represent a furtherstep in responsibility, with job holders acting as team leaders and taking onmanagement responsibilities for significant budgets and entire wellsite teams.
We never stop learning. Although the formal programme of education and trainingthat goes to make up the FOL DETS stops at the end of Year 5 or thereabouts, FOL
will continue to support its staff through ongoing training, periodic appraisal andtraining opportunities.
