The Shell Robert Training and Conference Center in Louisiana has established a new partnership with Maersk Training, which will see the global safety specialists deliver enhanced training to the Gulf of Mexico offshore workforce.
The agreement will combine the world-class infrastructure and training set-up at the Shell Robert Center with Maersk Training’s experienced instructors and course-design methodology.
Partnering with Shell represents significant growth for Maersk Training in the Americas. Using its history and experience, the company will deliver a full suite of safety, pool survival, well control, and process training in the region as it does across several of its international hubs.
Matthew Roberts, Maersk Training’s operations manager said: “This facility takes us to a new level in what we can offer to the market. The Robert Center has a proud history, and we look forward to building on that tradition. Our ambition is to integrate our high-end simulators with basic safety and survival training to create a truly holistic and fully integrated learning experience for our customers from beginning to end. In collaborating with Shell, we look forward to learning and developing future opportunities together.”
As well as existing courses, Maersk Training will offer new IADC and IWCF well control training with planning for large-scale immersive simulator capabilities underway. Much of the work will focus on providing valuable ‘lessons learned’ information from both service company and operator arenas to create a higher standard of training across the industry.
