The Sawmax Initiative was initiated by a group of international Oil & Gas Operating Companies seeking to reduce cost and improve Safety performance jointly. It has benefitted from contributions by the group of Operators and more members and support are welcome.
This Initiative:
Imagine if...
... We could prevent those repetitive mistakes that cost the industry $billions each year?
... We were able to differentiate from the people that can be trusted and those that need to improve?
... Those that need to learn had the necessary tools to improve and we could measure their development?
... We could achieve this step forward using real life situations and simulations of events that have actually happened?
The standard for Well Engineering Supervision (Drilling / Completions / Interventions / Production) has to be set now to ensure we can lower well costs and enhance safety. This bold initiative started in Q4 2013 and will take time to bring to fruition. The return of higher demand is predicted to be not too far away which means we don't have the luxury of time to grasp this opportunity.
Sawmax can set the required standard. It identifies strengths and weaknesses and offers training support to enhance performance.
What if this was all available now and was supported by a group of Operators where we could share the resource of quality graded Supervisors / Foremen / Engineers?
The Solution is Sawmax
Sawmax is an online Simulation / Testing / Certification / Training system which uses real life scenarios and multiple choice questions to evaluate, certify and improve competency.
Sawmax systematically assesses the skills of a mainly independent and mobile workforce. Sawmax retains graded certification data centrally and shares the knowledge and human resources between member companies (with the permission of both the candidate and the company).
Sawmax provides centralised certification of modules passed at differing grades. Given the shortage of resources it is not a pass / fail system but a graded one showing where areas could be improved and offering training for self-improvement.
