hile most aspects of operational activity have been enhanced through digitalisation, one area that has lagged behind is training. It’s never been more urgent for oil and gas companies to find an effective, yet affordable way to ensure their people have the right skills to meet the exploration and production challenges of today and the future. Now is the perfect time for companies to transition from traditional classroom-based training to a digital solution. Norwell EDGE combines extensive oil and gas expertise with the latest e-learning technology to deliver a platform that provides one of the highest quality training experiences available. Improved knowledge retention Norwell EDGE blends cutting edge digital learning software with gaming technology to deliver bite-sized training content that continuously reinforces content and motivates learners. This hybrid approach includes animations, graphics, 3D virtual scenarios, videos and quizzes and is proven to boost knowledge retention by four times that of classroom-based training. All of Norwell EDGE’s course content aligns with guidelines. Virtual well scenarios A crucial aspect of training is the opportunity to put skills to the test in a safe environment. Norwell EDGE’s suite of 3D scenarios transport learners to virtual well sites – both on and offshore - where they are required to complete tasks linked to their learning. Virtual scenarios can also be designed to represent a company’s specific project or asset.
