Norwell EDGE is on a mission to transform technical wells training
While 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.
Tailored training programmes
Developed on the latest e-learning interface, Norwell EDGE provides a highly flexible approach to digital training. In-depth modules span the entire E&P lifecycle and cater for both entry-level professionals, operational teams, and senior managers. Modules can easily be mixed and matched to create a training programme that is specific to each team’s competency needs. The number of users can be quickly be scaled up or down depending on requirements.
Auditable training history
In addition to the latest technology Norwell EDGE’s solution also ensures training stays with the individual even when they move company. Not only can they permanently access completed modules to build a valuable reference point, but it allows employers to access a comprehensive and trusted record of completed training. What’s more, managers can track progress as employees undertake their training and access a detailed performance report.
Industry collaboration
Ensuring everyone can access quality oil and gas training – no matter where in the world they are – Norwell EDGE’s founding principle. It partners with energy firms, universities, and industry bodies around the globe to continuously develop and optimise the training technology. Most recently, collaborating with Spirit Energy, Neptune Energy, TotalEnergies and other energy firms to launch a digital Well Integrity training course that is being rolled out to thousands of workers.
