WELCOME FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
2025 was again a year with subslanlial strategic achievements. 11 was a year of progress. collaboration and
commitrnent to improving well control knowledge and standards across our industry. This work is well
documented in the Trustees, annual report.
One significant milestone was achieving 25 years of uninterrupted ISO 9001 certification. This matters because
il demonstrates long-term consistency in how we manage quality, improve our processes, and deliver value lo
our members and stakeholders. We launched our Quality Assured initiative, an assurance framework fortraining
that falls outside the scope of formal IWCF accreditation bul is still related to well control. A completely new
website was introduced at the end of the year. It is designed wrfch our members in mind, with clearer navigation
and improved access lo information and resources.
A key focus has been lo strengthen our processes lo support certificate verification, fraud prevention and lo
maintain integrity of our assessments. The IWCF ecert verification tool help ensure that IWCF certification
remains secure, verifiable and trusted by employers, training cenlres and regulatory bodies.
In 2026 we will continue lo improve our well control programs with emphasis on the major issues that our
industry faces such as increased workover and decommissioning aclivily.

The Charity engages regional auditors who are proficient in English and several other languages. This
multilingual capability enhances communication and ensures auditees clearly understand audit requirements
and any necessary follow-up actions.
Feedback from the accredited centres audit programme is used to identify potential areas for improvement and
lo evaluate the effectiveness of the audit process. Furthermore, the ability lo conduct audits remotely enables
the Charity to operate in locations classified by a leading insurance and security specialist as high or extremely
high-risk, ensuring continued compliance even in challenging environments.
Candidate Certifications
Candidates seeking certification musl allend training that is provided by an accredited centre and that follows a
syllabus sel by the Charity. To ensure candidate skills and knowledge remain current and aligned with industry
standards, candidates are required to re-certify every two years for both Drilling Well Control IDWCI and Well
Intervention Pressure Control IWIPC} programmes.
In 2025, there were 25,070 candidate regislralions. This marked an increase of 9.6 /0 Compared lo the candidate
registration figures in 2024. The candidate success rate for 2025 experienced a marginal increase, with 85.9 /0
successfully achieving certification during the year (compared to 84.1 /0 in 20241. The success rate calculation
considers both registered candidates and those attempting re-sit exams.
Considering the two-year recertification period, when comparing candidate numbers from 2023, there was a
3.50/0 decrease in 2025, with the highest decrease noticed in the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine.
However. there has been a notable rise in candidate numbers in Indonesia. United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
In 2025, the administration has also witnessed a retum ofcandidates taking assessments in Bahrain and Kuwait.

Question ambiguity- Some candidates commented on unclear phrasing or questions initially perceived as
open to multiple interpretations. These comments represented 41 % of feedback re￿ived, an increase from
2024. The increase in comments initially categorised under question ambiguity and translation quality
reflects the introduction of a more structured and consistent feedback review process, with clearer criteria
al the point of logging feedback prior to detailed review.
Translation quality- A small proportion of candidates raised comments relating to terminology or
translation accuracy. This accounted for 80A of feedback received, up from 2024.
The Charity continues to apply industry best practices in question development and translation, ensuring clarity
and consistency across all languages. Also, expanding the question bank remains a priority lo maintain validity
and reliability of assessments.
To support these processes, as well as the review of technical documentation and training provider materials,
the Charity engages technical experts with diverse skills and experience. In 2025, the Charity strengthened ils
technical teams by adding three new consullanls to WIPC and two lo DWC.
Translations
In 2025, 74'/o of DWC candidates and 830/y of WIPC candidates took their assessments in English. The Charity
recognises that individuals can demonstrate their knowledge and skills more effectively when assessments are
available in their native languages. Assessments are now available in 19 languages, supporting candidates
worldwide.
In 2025, the Charity enhanced accessibility by
developing the eNelAssess system lo support the
Dual Language Assist feature in additional
languages beyond Modern Standard Arabic. This

Since ils launch, 3,952 candidates have used this feature.
The Charity introduced an interactive Glossary resource on the IWCF website, currently available in five
languages.. English, French, German, Italian and Norwegian. The glossary provides definitions for key terms
used in the IWCF syllabi and questions bank and serves as a terminology management tool. This systematic
approach to terminology helps-.
Reduce translation and revision time, lowering costs.
Ensure consistent, high-quality translations.
Promote standard language use, improving communication between stakeholders.
Throughout 2025, the Charity continued to improve translation quality by actively seeking feedback from
members and candidates lo identify and address any issues, ensuring the highest possible standards.

Quality Assured
In 2025, the Charity developed and launched a new assurance framework called Quality AssLJred. This
framework establishes a set of standards and measurable criteria to endorse training that falls outside the scope
of formal IWCF accreditation. The framework recognises four training categories..
Specialist well control topics
Operationally embedded training
Training in specialist equipment
Continuous improvement mechanisms
The framework was successfully piloted on a Stuck Pipe Prevention and Recovery course delivered by an
existing accredited training provider. Following the Suc￿$$fUl pilot, Quality Assured was officially launched at
the IWCF workshop in Istanbul, Turkey in November 2025.
Why this matters..
Quality Assured provides operators and employers with greater confidence in the relevance, structure, and
delivery of specialist well control training. It addresses gaps in non-accredited programmes and supports a
culture of aceounlability and continuous improvement across the industry. By introducing clear standards for
course design, delivery and assessment, the initiative helps raise consistency and quality in training that
supports well integrity and risk reduction.
Instructor Network
The Instructor Network is an IWCF initiative designed to strengthen relationships with the instructor community
and encourage collaboration among subject matter experts in well control. Inslruclors bring diverse experience,
technical knowledge, and regional insights, helping to shape improvements across our programmes.
WIPC Subsaa
In June 2025, two Instructor Network sessions were held lo provide an overview of upcoming changes to the
WIPC subsea syllabus. These sessions included input from technical consullanls lo answer questions and
ensure clarity for providers already delivering the subsea module.
DWC Syllabus Review
To support the DWC syllabus review, the Charity organised a webinar series aimed at gathering instructor
insights lo guide updates and ensure alignment with industry needs. Twelve webinars were delivered across
multiple lime zones, enabling participation from instructors in 17 countries. This collaborative approach ensures
that the revised syllabus reflects the needs of instructors. candidates, and the wider industry.
Ongoing Collaboration
Throughout the year, the Instructor Network also contributed to temiinology reviews. When Iranslalors propose
new terms or updates, or when candidate feedback suggests changes, we consult with training providers to
confirm accuracy and consistency before implemenlalion. Thi5 process helps maintain clarity and
slandardisation across all languages.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Charity generated income from membership fees. bank interest, and trading activities in ils subsidiary IWCF
Operations Limited.
Income w88 80/. higher in 2025 compared to 2024. Group income for the year was £4,746,135 {2024=
£4,383,542).
The income from candidates makes up the largest proportion of income in the trading subsidiary, and most
candidates are on a 2-year recertification cycle. The residual impact of Covid-19 restrictions is impacting the
candidate levels depending on whether the recertrficalion cycle is linked to 2020, bul this impact is reducing
over lime and the candidate numbers year on year are levelling out. On the current Irajeclory, there will be no
year-on-year difference by 2027-2028.
Pricing within the Group had remained mostly unchanged between 2017 and 2023 bul due to inflationary cost
pressures and redU￿d income generating activity within normal business operations the Trustees approved
price increases effective from 1 January 2023. There were no further pri￿ increases in 2024 or 2025 bul with
inflationary pressures on costs and the reduction in candidates compared to pre-covid, the trustees agreed
price increases for 2026
Expenditure on raising funds and charitable activities was higher than 2024 by 9°/0. Group expenditure for the
year was £4,734,132 {2024.' £4,336,329).
Overall spending on charitable activities decreased from £622,431 in 2024 10 £605,655 in 2025. During 2025,
there was an increase in attendance al events lo promote the work of the Charity and in November, the Charity
hosted a workshop for its members in Istanbul. Technical support costs increased by 680/0 in 2025 10 £146,983

in the year, with costs in 2025 being £88,90812024.. £75,814).
A donation from IWCF Operations Limited is the main source of income for the Charity, thereby enabling the
Charity to meet ils objectives. A donation of £724,827 was paid by IWCF Operations Limited to the parent
Charity in September 2025.
The Charity has a strong cash position and, in the year, steps were taken to maximise interest income from
available funds. A reduction in the bank interest rates will affect the level of interest obtained in the coming
periods.
Reserves Policy
At 31 December 2025, the Group's unrestricted free reserves, excluding fixed assets, were £5,493.241.
The Charity does not hold any restricted funds.
The policy and level of reserves considers the likelihood of an unfavourable event occurring and the expected
financial effect on the Charity. The policy considers the reliance on the donation of profits from IWCF Operations
Limited and has consideration for external factors that may impact the ability of IWCF Operations Limited to
maintain its income al a sufficient level lo make the donation.
The policy is reviewed annually in line with the budget cycle and, for the Charity, is set as 24 months business
as usual costs plus a 25°/o contingency.
The Charity's only known sourTr of income in future years, except for membership fees, will be the annLJal
donation from IWCF Operations Limited.

with last year, with Iran, Russia, and China remaining key areas of focus.
For several years, restrictions imposed by international banks on direct and indirect financial transactions with
Iran have prevented the Charity's trading subsidiary from operating in the country. In 2025, these restrictions
remained unchanged, and the Trustees reaffirmed their decision to refrain from any activities in Iran. Similarly,
financial and trade sanctions, combined with banking reslriclions on Russia, have prevented the Charity's
trading subsidiary from operating there. In 2025, additional sanctions were introduced, reinforcing the Trustees,
decision to maintsin a complete cessation of activities in Russia.

The Middle East continues lo experien￿ significant geopolitical volatility, with ongoing conflicts and political
inslabilily creating sustained risks for global energy markets. These uncertainties present long-lerm challenges
for the oil and gas industry, which may influence IWCF'S trading activities. The Charity closely monitors regional
developments and actively evaluates strategies lo navigate this complex environment.
In addition, UK Government fiscal policy and energy strategy present significant challenges. The continuation
of the 'Windfall tax. until 2030, combined with restrictions on new drilling licences and the use of tiebacks, is
discouraging investment in North Sea oil and gas exploration. These measures directly affect IWCF'S revenue
streams. However, initiatives such as the new IWCF QA endorsement and potential self-led study options for
Level 2 courses may help offset some of these impacts.
Automation and arbficial intelligence IAII are reshaping the oil and gas industry by streamlining operations.
improving safety, and driving efficiency. Tasks such as equipment monitoring, predictive maintenance. and data
analysis are increasingly automated, reducing reliance on manual labour and traditional technical roles. This
shift is expected lo lower demand for certain operational positions, which may lead lo a decline in candidate
numbers for these roles. Al the same time, new positions requiring digital skills. dats analyiics, and Al expertise
emerge.
IWCF Operations Limiled's trading performance continues to reflect the lingering effects of COVID-19
restrictions, resulting in reduced candidate numbers, particularly during the Iwo-year cycle directly following
2020. However, overall candidate numbers have stabilized, and the impact is expected to gradually diminish
over lime. Candidate registration fees remain the primary source of revenue for IWCF Operations Limited,
though the long-lerm outlook for candidate numbers is uncertain. The Trustees continue to monitor industry
trends lo ensure that the Charity's operations align income with expenditure.
The donations received from IWCF Operations Limited remain the Charity's main income source, bul changes
in candidate numbers may affect the subsidiary's profitability and limit future contributions. To address this,
the Charity began exploring altemalive income streams in 2024125 and will build on these initiatives in 2026.
Related Parties

the audit, or otherwise appears lo be materially misstated. If we identrfy such material inconsistencies or
apparent material misstatements, we are required lo determine whether this gives rise to a material
misslalement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have perfomied, we conclude

report., or
sufficient and proper accounting records have not been kept by the parent Charity., or
the financial slalements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or

Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement, set out on page 25, the Trustees are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design prO￿dureS
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to delect material misslalements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below.
We obtained an understanding ofthe legal and regulatory frameworks within which the Group and parent Charity
operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context
was the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotlandl Act 2005.
We idenlrfied the greatest risk of material impact on the financi81 statements from irregularities including fraud
lo be..
Management override of controls to manipulate the Group and Parent charity's key performance
indicators to meet tsrgels-,
Timing and completeness of revenue recognition,. and
Compliance with relevant laws and regulations which directly impact the financial stalemenls.
Our audit procedures lo respond to these risks included..
Testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness.,
Testing a sample of revenue transactions lo ensure enlillemenl lo income and recognition in the correct
period.,
Enquiries of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims-
Reviewing legal and professional fees to identify indications of actual or potential litigation, claims and
any non-compliance with laws and regulations-
Performing a disclosure checklist on the financial statements to ensure Charities and Trustee
Investment Iscollandl Act 2005 requirements are satisfied.,
Analytical procedures lo identify any unusual or unexpected trends or relationship,. and
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance to identify any matters indicating
actual or potential fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not delect all ir￿gUIarl1ies, including
those leading to a material misslatemenl in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at= www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
Audito¢s Report.

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet dale as a result of a past event, it is

debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services il musl provide. Provisions
are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required lo sellle the obligation. Where the effect of the lime
value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the
pre-tax discount rale that reflects the risks specific lo the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised
within interest payable and similar charges.
Financial instruments
The SCIO only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial inslrumenls.

selllement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

UNCERTAINTY
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experien￿ and other factors,
including expectstions of future events that are believed lo be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions..
The SCIO makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and
assumptions will seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment lo the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year are diseLJssed below.
Useful economic life of intangible fixed assets
The annual amortisalion charge for intangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the useful economic lives
and residual values of the assets. Useful lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are assessed
where necessary to reflect current estimates based on economic ulilisation and physic81 condition.
