training providers. At a minimum, well control training should encompass the
following additional subjects:

1. Understanding the different options in deepwater well control
when working from either a moored MODU or a dynamically
positioned MODU;

2. The importance of fluid flow monitoring and early kick detection in
deepwater wells;

3. Wellbore anomalies/hazards recognition and mitigations;

4. Recognition of limited well control options when wellbore fluids
are detected above the BOP stack;

5. Use of the diverter and limited use of the mud‐gas separator in a
well control event; and

6. Incorporation of the emergency disconnect function into well
control options. The Panel found that by the time the hydrocarbons
reached the rig floor it might have been too late to attempt to
control the flow. A better option in these cases may be to, in these
cases, immediately activate the emergency disconnect function to
disconnect from the well and stop further hydrocarbon flow.
