PetroTrainer
E-Learning for the Petroleum industry PetroTrainer is probably the world s largest and most comprehensive tool made for training purposes in the petroleum industry. The ITC Boreskolen started to develop the software in 1988, and is still upgrading and maintaining it with the latest in petroleum technology. The students of ITC Boreskolen has been equipped with the software from the very start and is one of the main reasons for our successful and effective training. Moduels in PetroTrainer Drilling Technology Fields and Wells Casing and Well Design Well Control Sub-Sea Rig Systems Cement and Mud Geology and Formation Evaluation Production and Completion Basic Theory Drilling Administration Hydraulics Mechanics & Materials PetroTrainer PetroTrainer is a computer based training software developed for the petroleum industry with an emphasis on offshore drilling technology The modules are based on API standards and Drilling Data Handbook The modules are based on NORSOK for the Norwegian market A comprehensive petroleum technology database with powerful search options as index search and the use of standard menus The material is pedagogical with a combination of text, pictures and animations Multiple choice questions and extensive exercises User bookmarks makes it easy to recapture for later use Cross reference and flexible navigation Internet connection is not required Continuously upgraded and maintained with the latest in Petroleum Technology How PetroTrainer is used The students of ITC Boreskolen use PetroTrainer both in the classroom and when studying on their own PetroTrainer is used in the classroom, and is an important tool for instructors Developed in co-operation with leading companies and professionals within the oil industry Any language can be added, and selected during run-time ITC BORESKOLEN 2

Test generator In order to test your students on various subjects PetroTrainer is equipped with a test generator, which easily allows you to make tests. There are a various number of answering methods: Text or character answers Answer a number within a given range Multiple choice one correct answer Multiple choice multiple correct answers During the test, the student have the possibility to navigate between questions before submitting the answers. There is also the possibility to set a time for the test, and the student can see how much time she/he have left. The test generator have two different setups for testing the student: Fixed tests All the questions are predefined Computer generated test the computer randomly selects questions within the desired subject In addition, there are two different modes. In Test Mode, the results will be reported to a test database or submitted for evaluation. In Exercise Mode, the student will be provided with a response for each question. The ITC Boreskolen has built an exercise database with approximately 500 exercises that are updated accordingly to IWCF and IDAC certifications. Thus, the students will be able to prepare themselves prior to a test. ITC BORESKOLEN 7
Exercise programs The PetroTrainer software also provide its users with different exercise programs as kick circulation simulator, line-up simulator and various versions of kill-sheets. Kick circulation simulator The exercise version can be run to simulate pump start-up procedures, choke handling & response and general kick circulation procedures. The field tool version of the kick circulation simulator which is optional to the IWC trainer, a decision support utility tool package, can run kill-sheet input from the field tool kill-sheet, both wait & weight and driller's method. This will be practical both in advanced training and for on the rig use. Line-up simulator The layouts for several 3 rd and 4 th generation semi-submersibles on the Norwegian Continental Self are included. Drilling personnel are keen to perform exercises on the manifolds on their own rigs, since the setup can vary from rig to rig. There have been well control incidents in the North Sea where line-up problems have led to serious problems in critical situations. The system also contains the standpipe manifold. Calculate Choke Manifold. Standpipe Manifold. Exit Kill-sheet exercises There are several cases of kick situations and complete kill-sheet calculations. The setup is fast and user friendly. The student can get help with the calculations through a pop-up system. Calculate The system can handle any well shape, and will provide the user with graphs and printouts. The kill-sheet exercises can also be set up for filed related cases. BOP Standpipe Manif. Exit ITC BORESKOLEN 8
Cost reduction and training improvements The PetroTrainer can provide your company with a reduced cost and improvements on training, due to the comprehensive material and the effective pedagogical setup of the software. Reducing company costs Implementing self-learning systems. Thus, reducing total training costs, due to shorter courses and less travel and hotel expenses Better knowledge management (QA / QC), and improved corporate knowledge Easier training of in-house personnel Better motivated staff Reducing training center cost Preparation time for new instructors are reduced Easier to perform and marking tests ITC Boreskolen training center We have reduced the students center time by 50 % by implementing the PetroTrainer software Thus, the students spend less time at the center and more time with their family Be smart and reduce you training costs by implementing PetroTrainer!
