Errors made by drilling teams were observed during simulator-based exercises that formed part of a well control training course. Each course lasted four days and comprises both non-technical and technical theory with five simulator-based exercises. The exercises are observed for key team non-technical skills (NTS). In feedback sessions, the observers debriefed the team members about their areas of effective NTS performance and also where improvements could be made. This paper will specifically focus on the errors (i.e. performance that was classified as either ‘marginally below’ or ‘well below’ expectations) made by the teams during 105 observed exercises. An understanding of such errors will allow future training programs to focus on areas for improvement and designing training that transfers into the real rig-site.
