Texas Professional Engineers (P.E.) Continuing Education Requirements

e-Products

All Texas Professional Engineers (P.E.) are required to have proof of 15 hours of continuing education activity for annual license renewal. The Texas Board of Professional Engineers (TBPE) does not require official documentation upon license renewal but does maintain the final authority to audit and review licensee’s renewal information. However, TBPE asks that licensees keep records documenting their continuing education activities for three years.

PETEX offers: • Continuing Education Units (CEUs): Upon successful completion of a PETEX course, you will earn a specified number of CEUs, credit customarily used for continuing education courses. To meet the minimum annual continuing education activity requirement, Texas P.E.s need to earn 1.5 CEUs, including one hour (or 0.1 CEU) of professional ethics training.

• Documentation: PETEX provides a Completion Certificate detailing the course title, dates attended, and amount of CEUs earned. This document adequately provides proof of continuing education activities by the TBPE standards. If further documentation is required, PETEX can assist you.

Preventive Deepwater Well Control 2.4 CEUs Examines how an influx of fluid behaves in the well, what is happening downhole, how to design wells to minimize the impact of kicks, which control procedures should be used, and the importance of kick tolerance and leak-off testing in the kick risk management process. Traditional well control certification schools have placed heavy emphasis on using mechanical equipment such as choke valves, gauges, and pumps to circulate an influx of fluids out of the well using constant bottomhole pressure techniques. Today’s challenging deepwater drilling environments make it necessary for operations personnel to understand more than basic well control techniques. This course is designed to complement and enrich a certification course and to establish a foundation for the Advanced Deepwater Well Control and the Well Design Seminar.

Course Content • History of well control • U-Tube calculations and concepts and static and dynamic assessment • Oil and gas behavior in water and SBM muds and gas migration • Causes of kicks and kick detection; kick detection equipment calibration and accuracy

In the past two years, four serious well control incidents have occurred during offshore drilling operations. In each, the well design and construction team did not properly evaluate the risk. Anticipating unforseen events is a fundamental part of the planning process so that if an operations team makes a mistake or encounters an unanticipated downhole condition, the results become manageable and devastating consequences are less likely to occur.

Course Content • Margins: what the well can withstand and absolute pressure vs. pressure gradient • Modes of failure of a deepwater well: importance of ΔT and well simplification • Impacts on well design: water injection in a mature field, maximum pressures that could occur and impact of oilbased mud • Limits of a well design: alternatives (costs vs. mitigations) and BSEE (BOEMRE) well classification • Horizontal wells: some added concerns • Normally pressured wells
