Exploration and production geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir drilling and production engineers who want to understand the role of geosciences in the Petroleum Industry.

 

The course is designed in a workshop environment with a set of exercises covering all types of data that the geoscientists deal with on a daily basis including: logs, core, seismic lines and surface outcrops analysis. The course emphasizes on the classification of sedimentary basins, the origin and chemical composition of petroleum, the source rock, the reservoirs (carbonate and clastics) the different types of traps (structural, stratigraphic and combination).

This course is designed for Geoscientists, Petrophysicists, Engineers (Reservoir, Production, Mechanical, Electrical, IT and Marine), and Junior Petroleum Engineers involved at different phases of the petroleum industry.

 

This course has been designed to cover the principals of Petroleum and drilling engineering. It provides participants with the origin of hydrocarbons, methods of exploration, drilling techniques, functions and interactions of drilling tools and procedures. It will help them to understand how and why particular drilling solutions are selected. Then it will provide them with the fundamentals of petroleum engineering, including physical properties of reservoir rocks, singe phase fluid flow, fluid saturation, reserve estimation, reservoir behavior. The course will then discuss the production methods, recovery processes and field performance optimization. The course includes some class exercises, discussions, team presentations and interactive challenges.

Exploration, production and management personnel interested in applying project management techniques to their operations.

 

This course aims to help participants make the best business decisions – decisions that lead to lowest project cost and meet goals. It covers the principles and application of project management to the upstream oil and gas business. Participants may bring details of their current projects so they can discuss and learn how to use these principles on their first day back on the job.

Engineers, geologists, economists, accountants, technicians as well as managers and supervisors who need to learn and/or develop their understanding on how to conduct economic evaluation to help them in investment decision making.

 

 

This workshop provides practical guidance in the application of the techniques of the economic analysis currently used in the oil & gas industry. It covers the techniques which assist in making investment decisions. It also covers in detail the cash flow analysis, economic indicators, risk and uncertainty. The workshop will include a number of exercises aimed at enhancing each participant capability to conduct various economic evaluations. Each participant will attempt to develop spreadsheet calculations of various economic analyses.

Technical and non-technical staff. Those who are conducting, or about to conduct, a presentation to their team, managers and/or partners

 

 

This introductory course is designed to create and then develop the basic understanding of presentation and how it can help someone to deliver a specific message to the audience. It starts with defining the different types and elements of presentation and how to plane for a presentation. Then the participants will learn how to develop both materials and his skills to make the presentation successful. The last part of the course will be practical where the attendees will chose two different topics to present to the rest of the class. No prerequisites are needed for this course.
