Abstract
In recent years there has been increasing acknowledgement in the oil and gas sector about the importance of Non-Technical Skills (NTS) training as a complement to traditional technical and procedural training. Behavioral markers are a way to assess and provide feedback based on observations of behavior. This paper describes the application of team behavioural markers that were developed to capture interactions in drilling teams during simulator-based well control exercises during a training course. During the course key areas of Human Factors principles are taught, including communication, situation awareness, decision making, teamwork, leadership, and stress management. The research presented in this paper analyses observations made over 5 training courses (25 simulator exercises in a full-scale high fidelity drilling simulator) to understand where strengths and weaknesses lie in NTS. A comparison of the data demonstrated that teams improved their demonstration of NTS over the course. The research is discussed in light of implications for future training courses.
