Responsible Leadership
Training & Competency
Horizontal Wireline has developed more qualified wireline crews than any other independent wireline company. Engineers and crew members that join our team go through a rigorous training qualification period. During this breakout period, our employees are required to learn all procedures and best practices for Horizontal, as well as show competency in regional specific operations, which is supported by our proprietary field operations manual spanning over 350 pages of training documentation as well as our Spartan One Program.
Spartan One Training Program
Horizontal Wireline’s Spartan One Program was first introduced in 2017 with a purpose to support training and development of our team members from our New Hire Orientation (NHO) program to the level of a Senior Operator. This program introduces the new hire to the wireline industry by providing online, classroom and hands-on practice in a seven-day onboarding process. Candidates spend the first week of the program learning HSE and service quality basics, followed by a four-day hands-on trailer and equipment session covering key wireline tools used in the field.
A mock job site is also set up with pressure control equipment, a crane, and a Horizontal wireline unit. The candidates learn to navigate the systems of working in a fast-paced environment where consistency is key. This gives the candidate real world experience with risk-prone activities like hand placement, overhead loads as well as technical requirements such as gun systems, setting tools, pressure control operations, rig up/down operations and more.
From this course, HWS invites high performing candidates into the Spartan One Operator Program, an 8-week intensive training and testing program.
Wellsite Report
Horizontal has been utilizing Wellsite Report since 2016, an application software solution to capture, report, and improve service quality, health and safety, environmental performance, and enhance company engagement. Compared to standard processes that utilize printed forms or spreadsheets, Wellsite Report enables Horizontal’s employees and managers to efficiently process incident information throughout the Company’s chain of command, with resolution within 24 hours. This automated workflow and data management system enhances awareness, engagement, and transparency across key stakeholder groups including Horizontal’s customers, and ensures incidents are promptly addressed and corrective actions are implemented.
Governance & Compliance
At the core of our organizational ethos lies our dedication to high standards of transparency, accountability, ethics, and oversight. Our Board of Directors and our leadership team, support the strategy and execution of these values into our operations, culture, and our sustainability program.
Horizontal recognizes the importance of building a culture of transparency and compliance. From our onboarding programs to our leadership development initiatives to our utilization of Wellsite Reporting software for incident management, we take compliance seriously. All Horizontal employees are expected to act with integrity and in an ethical manner when representing our Company. We communicate our expectations for employee behavior frequently and provide training and resources across a series of key topics. Horizontal’s leadership is responsible for and understands its obligation to provide supervision over the actions of our employees to ensure compliance with all our core policies, procedures, and compliance programs.
