PREPARE FOR THE WORST. PLAN WITH THE BEST.
An emergency response plan (ERP) is the single most important pre-drilling document to have in your project portfolio long before the drill bit even touches the earth. Let our well control engineering experts work diligently to ensure a customized plan is in place so that your crew is ready to respond to the unexpected.
It all comes down to having the right team that can perform the required well control emergency response actions. We can help you develop that team and define the response actions to help your operation avoid costly downtime and potential catastrophic equipment and personnel losses.

Our ERPs can be tailored fit to deliver industry-best blowout contingency plans, backed by more than four decades of well control firefighting and emergency response experience. With unparalleled access to engineering resources and strategically located equipment, our risk personnel work hard to make sure your team is prepared for the worst-case-scenario, minimizing losses to valuable assets.
Overview
Well control emergency plan (WCEP) establishes a protocol for designated team members to safely respond and manage a well control emergency under the ICS system. The WCEP will include drilling, completion, and production provisions as well as multi-well pad considerations, such as prevention of collateral damage, how to deal with emergency well control operations with other wells in close proximity, and capping and control considerations and mitigations/options.
This plan covers the following topics:
- Securing wellsite, all personnel accounted for
- Attend to all injured personnel
- Notification procedures (corporate, state, and local)
- Well control event levels defined
- ICS roles and responsibilities for response team at wellsite and office
- Data forms for documentation of essential information
- Approved vendor contact list for specialized equipment, materials, and services often required during a well control event
The WCEP provides anyone involved in an emergency well control event, regardless of magnitude, to refer to a plan and initiate a response. This document can be bridged to any existing comprehensive plan and will cover all aspects of a well control emergency.
Following the development of the WCEP, drills can be scheduled and revisions can be made based upon any items identified during the drills or substantial changes to scope or type of operations.
