Altus will use MultiSIM to train its personnel in multiple well intervention operations, including coiled tubing and wireline.
By realistically mirroring well intervention operations, MultiSIM gives the opportunity for individuals to practise scenarios they may not have encountered during normal operations.
With this, the company will be able to close gaps in individual competency and build confidence, thereby improving safety and efficiencies.
Altus Intervention UK president Garry Michie said: “We are fully committed to investing in our people and providing our employees with the training they require to work safely and support our field operations.

By GlobalData“With this simulator, we can provide well intervention training at all experience levels from our new trainees through to supervisors. Furthermore, we can incorporate emergency situations into our training, allowing the instructor to assess the candidate’s response as if it were an unexpected, and real, event.”
The vast majority of people will be better prepared to deal with a real emergency with simulator training, the company said.
Drilling Systems chief operating officer Clive Battisby said: “Altus Intervention is clearly committed to investing in personnel safety and performance. Our portable MultiSIM will give the company the flexibility to train personnel at all levels and in a wide range of skills whenever and wherever needed.”
