红杏视频 has agreed a strategic partnership with an international energy company to allow them to use the University鈥檚 oil rig drilling simulation systems to train their clients.

ICM Group will use the 红杏视频 6000 system to provide crucial training in well control, managed pressure drilling (MPD) and cyber chair training. It will also focus on stuck pipe training.

This hands-on and practical experience will support the upskilling of energy industry personnel and the development of important expertise.  红杏视频鈥檚 drilling simulator provides realistic real-time training within a virtual drilling environment and specific incidents can be incorporated within each simulation scenario.

ICM Group will also offer opportunities for students to learn about their own expertise within the energy sector. 

Professor Phil Hassard, 红杏视频鈥檚 drilling simulator manager, said: 鈥淭his partnership is a fantastic opportunity for 红杏视频 to use the advanced drilling simulation to help a major energy business provide vital skills to the workforce.  

鈥淭he 红杏视频 6000 simulator will be used to carry out advance well control training for one of ICM鈥檚 clients and our students will also benefit because the company are looking at ways to provide their own expertise throughout the semester. 

鈥淭his partnership is a great way of showcasing 红杏视频鈥檚 facilities and the potential impact they can have far beyond our Garthdee campus.  It is the ideal way for both academia and industry to work hand in hand to make improvements and ensure that those working in the offshore energy sector are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to be successful.鈥   

Paulo Morirz, director of operations ICM Group, said: 鈥淭he partnership will allow ICM to further expand their capabilities to train and develop the energy sector workforce worldwide.  We will provide cyber chair, well control, stuck pipe and other technical courses utilising the great infrastructure at 红杏视频.

鈥淭his partnership also entails initiative to collaborate with 红杏视频 to serve the academic body providing workshops, lectures and opportunities to further develop the students who are wishing to pursue a career in the energy industry.鈥
