Introduction:
Getting the most of your Completion and Well Intervention (CWI) Engineering
Competencies
What is the Completion and Well Intervention Engineering Competence Framework?
The Completion and Well Intervention Engineering technical competence framework is a structured document
that captures the specific technical competencies that have been identified to drive professional success within
the Wells Discipline.
This competence framework will help you to understand the full technical spectrum of what you need in order
to be able to fulfill your role in the organization. The framework can help you to understand what
competence you need to perform in your current job as well as guide you in preparing for future
assignments.
This framework enables you to:
Easily identify which competencies are relevant to you, in your job, today
Identify specific development needs that need to be addressed
Provide focus and priority for your development needs now and for the future
This framework is intended for:
CWI Engineering staff (i.e. CWI Engineers, CWI Engineering Team Leads and GM Wells Discipline, etc.)
CWI Operations staff (i.e. CWI Supervisors, CWI Operations Team Leads and GM Wells Operations,
etc.)
Why do we need Completion and Well Intervention Engineering Competencies?
They capture the skills, knowledge and behaviors that are key to delivering Completion and Well
Intervention Engineering technical competence in Shell.
They set the knowledge and skill standards that need to be met in order to deliver effectively in the Wells
organization.
They enable us to speak a common language around skills and development, helping us to raise the
overall effectiveness of Completion and Well Intervention Engineering.
How can I benefit from using the Framework?
The new Framework is designed to be simple, focused and easy to use. It helps you to focus on the skills key
to your role by supporting you in:
Doing your current job more effectively
Thinking about your development needs
Developing ideas about your longer-term career plans
What is not included in the framework?
The competence framework is meant to describe the technical competencies and levels of proficiency for
Completion and Well Intervention Engineering. It also identifies the technical competencies against which
Technical Authorities (TA1 and TA2) will be assured.
The framework, however, does not include:
HSSE Critical Competences for Leaders or Front Line Barrier Managers
Professional Development Competencies
CWI Engineering
Competence Framework
Page 2
The HSSE Critical Competences for HSSE Leaders and Front Line Barrier Managers will be outlined in a
separate framework.
More information on the Professional Development Competences and other key elements for individual
development may be found in the Shell Graduate Program (SGP) and the Shell Advanced Technical
Program (SATP).
What do You need to do?
Familiarize yourself with the Competence Framework and Job Competence Matrix (both reside in this
document).
Use both tools as a core part of the developmental conversation together with your line manager.
Based on the Job Competence Matrix, review the competencies linked to your role and identify your strengths
and areas to be developed.
Discuss with your supervisor to agree your development areas and record the outcome in your Individual
Development Plan.
Utilize the workflow listed in Figure 1, below, to identify where and when to incorporate the technical
competence framework and technical competence matrix in discussions with your line manager, technical
coach and mentor.

Competence Elements
There are ten technical competencies in the Completion and Well Intervention Engineering Framework that
are critical in designing and delivering wells. They are as follows:
Design a Tubing String*
Optimize Well Delivery Program
Prepare Completion Design Options and Program
Prepare Intervention Design Options and Program
Prepare Completion/Intervention Fluid Design Options and Program*
Prepare Abandonment Design Options and Program*
Specify Well Control Equipment and Execute Well Control Operations*
Execute Well Completion Operations
Execute Well Intervention and Abandonment Operations
Select Completion and Well Intervention Units and Equipment
The technical competencies that will be assured for Technical Authorities 1 and 2 are indicated above with
an asterisk (*). These competencies are considered to hold a RAM rating of Red-Yellow 5 A/B. For more
information on assurance if the Technical Authorities please review Appendix B.
A table outlining the Technical Competencies for Completion and Well Intervention Engineering may be seen
in Appendix A of the framework. It should serve as a summary of the framework document and facilitate
discussions between staff and managers regarding competence proficiency levels, key concepts and evidence
including tasks, courses and exams associated with the elements for each competence. These tasks, courses
and exams are in line with the SGP and SATP and aim for a timeline to autonomy where staff members
reach a proficiency level of skill within 3 5 years when beginning the program as a new graduate.
Experienced hires should obtain a skill level of proficiency within 18 months of hiring into the Shell Wells
discipline.
Note: there are some evidence elements listed on the table that are not yet available to Wells staff. These
will only become required evidence elements when they have been rolled out to the discipline.

Proficiency Scale
There are three levels of proficiency for which an individual will progress through development in each of the
technical competencies in their discipline. Each level of proficiency has corresponding proof points that
describe the expectations that need to be met in order to be considered to hold a particular level of
proficiency.
The purpose of the Proficiency Scale is to provide a consistent framework that enables managers and
employees to have a relevant discussion on developmental needs against a specific competence. The scale
should be used to guide feedback in support of individual developmental planning.
Each competence outlined in the framework contains more specific proof points for each proficiency level.
They should be considered in addition to the proof points outlined in the Table 1, below, in order to ensure a
comprehensive approach for development is undertaken.
A Job Competence Matrix for Completion and Well Intervention Engineering may be seen at the end of the
framework in Appendix A.
