Securewell

Well Control & Containment Certification Program

The SecureWell: Well Control & Containment Certification Program is a first-of-its kind course that contains purpose-driven, comprehensive and practical training for cased hole well operations. Created by well control and well servicing experts, the course offers certification through classroom training, field assessment and skills verification.

Safe operations are profitable operations, and this course offers both operators and service contractors a way to ensure competency and impart domestic on-shore industry level knowledge to their employees.

Two Courses. One Standard

Well Control and Containment Certification Program

Crew-Level Training

What it Covers:

  • Well control principles for cased-hole operations
  • Barrier verification, kick prevention, and safety equipment fundamentals
  • Hands-on rig-floor assessment—no desk-only certifications

Why It Matters:
Well control is only as strong as your front line. This course prepares crews to recognize risk early, respond with confidence, and reinforce containment every step of the way. It’s not just about checking the box, it’s about building competency that holds up under pressure.

Ideal For: Field service techs, wellsite crews, and entry-level personnel.
