Purpose

The National Diploma in Drilling - Hydrocarbon (Rig Manager, Tool Pusher) (Level 5) with strands in Off Shore Drilling, and On Shore Drilling recognises the skills of an experienced Rig Manager or Tool Pusher at an oil or gas drilling operation. The holder of the qualification is able to perform tasks that involve a high level of autonomy and require the application of significant judgement in planning and determining the selection of equipment, roles, and techniques for themselves and others. They are required to demonstrate the application of a broad range of technical, managerial, coordination, and planning skills.

This qualification has a core component of essential skills required to work at a hydrocarbon drilling operation related to accounting, budgeting, and forecasting; managing rig operations; planning and evaluating rig operations; managing drilling induction and orientation; developing business relationships; developing and coordinating people, systems and resources; quality management; and interpersonal communications. A small core elective that recognises a variety of skill sets is required due to the diversity of drilling environments.

The strands in Off Shore Drilling, and On Shore Drilling, provide opportunities for specialisation. The Off Shore Drilling strand recognises skills in overseeing drilling operations in a hydrocarbon drilling environment. The On Shore Drilling strand recognises skills in managing drilling operations, rig move and camp move, well completion and abandonment, managing subordinates and equipment, and managing and monitoring rigging up and rigging up to spud operations in a hydrocarbon drilling environment. There is an optional standard in this qualification, however, it is not required to achieve the qualification but may be required in some employment contexts.

This qualification includes Australian competency standards that are part of the DRT03 Drilling Training Package – Certificate V in Drilling. The New Zealand Extractive Industries Training Organisation has endorsed these standards.

This qualification is part of a pathway, which begins with the National Certificate in Drilling - Hydrocarbon (Floorman) (Level 2) with strands in Off Shore Drilling, and On Shore Drilling [Ref: 1335], and continues with the National Certificate in Drilling - Hydrocarbon (Derrickman) (Level 3) with strands in Off Shore Drilling, and On Shore Drilling [Ref: 1336], the National Certificate in Drilling - Hydrocarbon (Driller) (Level 4) with strands in Off Shore Drilling, and On Shore Drilling [Ref: 1337], and culminates in this qualification.
