Almost three months ago, IADC formally ended its accreditation of Four Corners Well Control, LLC, based out of New Mexico. This means that Four Corners Well Control, LLC is no longer approved to train industry personnel for any IADC programs.
Four Corners Well Control, LLC is a well control training corporation based out of Farmington, New Mexico. Despite having been formally notified of WellSharp program closure in mid-April, IADC has continued to see false IADC certificates provided to well control trainees from “Four Corner Well Control”.
Four Corners Well Control was initially teaching well control training classes at the junior college in Hobbs, NM.
