Attendees included industry professionals from across the country from companies including Kuwait Energy, Taqa, DNO, HKN, Haliburton, Oilserv, and more, plus University students keen to get into the sector.

Workshop activities included:

    • Introducing IWCF & IADC courses to be delivered in 2022
    • Demonstrating the DrillSIM:20 and MultiSIM simulator kits
    • Q/A session with instructors
    • Practical session with the simulators

Genie Workforce in partnership with Horizon Oilwell can deliver IADC & IWCF accredited courses such as Advanced Stuckpipe Prevention, Coiled Tubing, Wireline/Slickline, and Well Control. The courses delivered are comprehensive, practical training programs allowing extra practice on simulators.

Simulators can be set up on the rig-site of clients in order to allow daily practice by employees for long-term training programs. This is done via the On The Rig (OTR) Simulator

Our simulator kits are manufactured by renowned UK company, Drilling Systems, whose simulators are recognized to meet industry standards by IWCF and IADC. Our MultiSIM simulator is one of only two in the middle east, the first being in Oman (Confirmed again by Drilling Systems). Horizon is an authorized reseller of Drilling Systems simulators in Iraq.
