Practice Mode

Using virtual reality, the operator practices drilling out a 200′ bore that will give them a score after they finish. They will complete two practice bores and one evaluation. This evaluation is a 400′ bore that counts towards your certificate of completion. Each operator will get a total of 800′ drilled out and will receive a grade on both practices and the one evaluation.

This course will grade you on rotating the magnets, gearbox float, dropping your rod row, greasing your threads, counter rotation, and pitch accuracy.

How Long Will It Take?

It takes on average about 4-5 hours per trainee. So it is safe to say you can have 2 trainees complete the course in 1 day. In about a week you can get about 10 people to complete the course.

Who Is This Meant For?

This simulator can be used for anyone in the HDD business no matter their experience. There is always something to learn when it comes to HDD. New operators learn about what drilling is and how to do it, where operators with more experience learn new techniques and bad habits they may have.
