Sustained Development in Training

A process based training approach

New generations of engineers are more computer literate and require technical software to carry out their work.

Oil companies have a need to recruit locally in their countries of operation and to develop the technical skills of this workforce.

The training of engineers and rig personnel has to be executed faster in today’s high growth environment.

Combining drilling theory courses with applied technical software substantially reduces the learning curve.

For all the above, Techdrill launched a process based training approach translated in a modern training center.

Centers of excellence : the modern training center

This innovative training model has enabled Pemex to respond to its growth challenges and train a large number of engineers in a faster, more practical and efficient manner.

Between 2003 and 2006, over 300 engineers of Pemex graduated from the center.
