About Vorenkamp Well Control Training

At Vorenkamp Well Control Training, LLC, we deliver precision-driven education rooted in adult learning methodologies that prioritize relevance, engagement, and retention. Our programs are built around accepted industry practices, including IADC WellSharp™, API RP 16WS, and SecureWell standards, ensuring every participant is equipped to meet the demands of modern well control operations.

What sets us apart is our use of unique, scenario-specific data drawn from actual field incidents and interventions—including coiled tubing, snubbing, and wireline operations—to power our immersive simulation environments. These simulations replicate high-stakes decision-making under pressure, fostering critical thinking and team coordination.

We specialize in horizontal well applications, integrating the complexities of extended-reach drilling, multilateral completions, and unconventional reservoir behavior into our curriculum. Whether you're preparing for deepwater challenges or shale interventions, our training reflects the realities of today's evolving energy landscape.

        By facilitating innovative techniques and adaptive teaching methods, we empower our clients the “right knowledge” and practical confidence to           successfully conduct their duties safely and effectively.

The unique relationship between our clients and Vorenkamp Well Control Training created our motto
