OTC introduces new regulatory compliance trainings

Offshore Technical Compliance (OTC) has introduced two new IADC-accredited regulatory compliance training programs: an offshore drilling and a marine regulatory compliance training.

OTC’s Offshore Drilling Regulatory Compliance Training is a five-day, 40-hour course held in Covington, La., designed to give participants fundamental knowledge on offshore drilling regulatory requirements and inspection methodology and skills, allowing them to easily identify, explain and resolve potential regulatory and compliance related deficiencies.

OTC’s Marine Regulatory Compliance Training is a three-day, 24-hour course held in Covington, La., intended to provide participants with a deep understanding of marine regulatory compliance and inspection methodology and skills for oil and gas vessels, MODUs, FPSOs and floating production facilities operating in the Gulf of Mexico and in international waters. 

“With federal compliance regulations constantly changing, it is more important than ever to ensure not only that your company is operating in compliance with these guidelines, but that your crew has been properly trained to perform their jobs safely,” said Mike Bethea, CEO, OTC. “These courses are designed to provide participants who already possess a basic knowledge of oil and gas related safety guidelines with a deeper understanding of government regulatory agencies and their offshore drilling and marine regulatory requirements to improve the efficiency and safety of your company’s operations as a whole.” 

Both interactive training courses are instructor-led via classroom and workshop-style settings using slideshows, handouts and case studies to provide participants the knowledge and resources needed to demonstrate their proficiency in domestic and international regulatory guidelines with an 80 percent pass rate as required by the IADC at the courses’ end. 

The first Marine Regulatory Compliance Training course will take place 27-29 June, and the first Offshore Drilling Regulatory Compliance Training course on 25-29 July.
