  With the recovery of the oil and gas industry in full swing it is time to catch up on some training. We would like to introduce Flying A Services managed by industry professionals and courses are available for booking right now. TRAINING Flying A Services LLC currently offer the following face to face courses: - Introduction to Well Ops – 5 Days “Intro to Well Ops” is designed to give the non-technical personnel involved in oil and gas production a comprehensive understanding of the cradle to grave process from initial selection, well design, well construction, production and finally, abandonment and decommissioning. It is specifically intended to give a better understanding of risk management throughout each stage of the process and would be ideal for underwriters, financiers insurance personnel and lawyers involved in the energy industry. With the “Energy Transition” well under way around the globe, the course will touch on alternative energy sources to give a basic understanding of what is to come. An exam on day 5 will confirm understanding prior to final feedback session. Planning for Success – 1 Day This course will benefit any person from the top down who is involved in the design, planning or managing drilling, construction, production, manufacturing or similar industries. There are no prerequisites for this course other than a desire to improve your operations as a whole. It is a short one day course which will result in cost savings throughout your project and give the basis for further performance development. The intention of the Planning for Success Course is to provide an understanding of how to improve operations and increase efficiency. The course will enable the student to recognize and identify where invisible lost time is impacting operations and how to overcome it by ensuring optimum resources and proper preplanning is carried out. The results of using maximum resources will be demonstrated using film archive and team group activity sessions. Finally, there will be a quick summary and feedback session. Plug, Abandon and Decommission Course – 3 Days The course will benefit any person who is involved in the design, planning or managing drilling, completion or field operations as well as government regulators and inspectors. Prerequisites for this course are general mathematics and science skills and a basic to intermediate understanding of drilling and cementing operations, casing and tubing components and well completions. The intention of Plug, Abandon and Decommission Course is to provide a basic understanding of wellbore plug and abandonment (P&A) and well decommissioning concepts, including why and how wells are temporarily suspended and permanently removed from service. The course will cover the basic principles of well integrity, well barrier element (WBE) installation and WBE verification and acceptance criteria. Additionally, Oil and Gas Industry guidelines and standards together with various country legislation, laws and regulations will be reviewed. Service company and operator recommended practices are covered compared and contrasted including a look at the latest P&A technology, tools, methods and procedures through case history examples. Finally, there will be a quick summary and feedback session. Requests from clients for other courses can be discussed on demand. Well Control Assurance Services A Well Control Assurance Program (WCA) as offered by FAS is designed to minimize the risk of a well control event within all the well operations undertaken by the oil company (drilling, workover and production operations) in their worldwide operations. FAS puts this forward in lieu of the idea of a fulltime Well Control Advisor because we feel it has distinct advantages over a single person. WCA is the integration of a well control system within the Company consisting of training, development of a well control philosophy, focus on the prevention of serious well control events (prevent escalation to a blowout with early intervention). FAS will provide specialists with career paths and experience that make them well suited for this project where their worldwide experience can be applied to this effort, and it is a means by which the experience of a life time can be transferred to the next generation of oil men and women so that they can have the benefit of the lesson learned over the years. Additional Flying A Services: Project management worldwide on any energy project – drilling, abandonment, decommissioning, geothermal, integrity and well control. Provision of eTalent Recruitment Software to ensure clients have the team they need for success. Lean Six Sigma Training and provision of performance optimizing OpexDrive Software Platform for all business needs Human Factor, HRO and Leadership Training Courses available on demand.
