Well Operations Crew Resource Management (WOCRM)

Well operations crew resource management (WOCRM)

The importance of non-technical skills to safety and efficiency has long been recognised in high-risk industries such as aviation, mining, rail and healthcare. The oil and gas exploration and production industry are now aware of the benefits and are starting to provide training in cognitive, human factor skills such as situation awareness and decision-making.

Why This Course Is Essential

Up to and including the major incidents experienced on the Macondo and Montara wells, the oil and gas industry had not fully recognised the importance of how psychological factors relating to perception and motivation can contribute to safe and efficient operations.

It is now believed that a step-change improvement in operational safety and efficiency of well operations teams, covering the full spectrum of Construction, Production, Maintenance, Drilling, Completions, Work-overs & Interventions, can be achieved through effective development and application of non-technical skills, also known as Crew Resource Management (CRM).

The oil and gas exploration and production industry now recognises the importance of non-technical skills to operational safety, and embedding discipline-relevant skills and attitudes in training and operational practices.
