In response to Mocondo and Montara well control incidents, the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (OGP) formed three Global Industry Response Groups (GIRGs) to control well control incident management through prevention, intervention and response, respectively. The Well Expert Committee (WEC) was established out of the Prevention GIRG to enhance well control incident prevention through better improvements in well engineering design and well operations across the oil & gas industry.
The Report contains recommended improvement to current well control training, examination and certification process, and some of related philosophies that should be adopted throughout the industry to improve well control preparedness and performance for all type of operations conducted on all wells worldwide - ie construction, intervention/ work-over and production/ injection of both onshore and offshore wells.
