RIIOGD405E — Carry out well control and blow out prevention operations

1 Plan and prepare to carry out well control and blow out prevention (BOP)

• 1.1Obtain, interpret and confirm work requirements
• 1.2Access, interpret and apply well control and BOP documentation and confirm the work activity is compliant
• 1.3Identify and minimise environmental issues and potential hazards, and assess and address risks within scope of own role and according to workplace procedures
• 1.4Select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities
• 1.5Calculate kill mud weight, pressure losses, drill stem and annular volumes, maximum allowable annular surface pressure (MAASP) and initial and final circulating pressures
• 1.6Identify, interpret and respond to early warning signs of kicks and well going under-balance while drilling
• 1.7Recognise kick indicators and apply kick detection methods and responses

2 Assess well control equipment and report and record faults

• 2.1Identify the purpose, use of and relationship between equipment, indicators, counters and detection systems to determine fitness of equipment for well control
• 2.2Identify flow paths for normal drilling operations and well control
• 2.3Identify and apply well-control testing procedures and principles
• 2.4Demonstrate primary equipment failure well shut-in procedures

3 Carry out well kill operations

• 3.1Brief crew on well control procedures
• 3.2Access and apply pre-recorded information
• 3.3Identify, read, interpret and record pressures and gauge information and undertake corrective action as required
• 3.4Determine and apply well kill procedures according to work requirements and workplace procedures
• 3.5Apply trip kill sheet data and well-closure procedure when dealing with influx and shutting in a well
• 3.6Calculate hydrostatic head at specific depths and apply required procedures when observing loss of circulation
• 3.7Identify, interpret and apply required tripping methods and tests
• 3.8Identify, interpret and apply stripping methods
• 3.9Identify, interpret and apply recording and reporting procedures according to workplace procedures
• 3.10Manage and communicate with crew during a well control emergency

4 Conduct housekeeping activities

• 4.1Clean, check, perform maintenance on and store plant, tools and equipment
• 4.2Report issues identified with plant, tools and equipment

What does an assessment tool for RIIOGD405E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIOGD405E needs to address all 33 unit components: 4 elements with 23 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 4 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for RIIOGD405E?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIOGD405E from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for RIIOGD405E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIOGD405E assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of RIIOGD405E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
