Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

RIIOGD405E - Carry out well control and blow out prevention operations

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan and prepare to carry out well control and blow out prevention (BOP)

  1. Obtain, interpret and confirm work requirements
  2. Access, interpret and apply well control and BOP documentation and confirm the work activity is compliant
  3. Identify and minimise environmental issues and potential hazards, and assess and address risks within scope of own role and according to workplace procedures
  4. Select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities
  5. Calculate kill mud weight, pressure losses, drill stem and annular volumes, maximum allowable annular surface pressure (MAASP) and initial and final circulating pressures
  6. Identify, interpret and respond to early warning signs of kicks and well going under-balance while drilling
  7. Recognise kick indicators and apply kick detection methods and responses
