This course teaches how to listen to the well, perform simple tests on the rig, and make proper decisions unique to each well. During this course participants will learn about: Interpretation of mud logger gas units, Determining pore pressure, On-site hydraulic optimization, Selecting proper bit loading for the fastest and cheapest hole, Interpreting pressure integrity tests; Hole problems (such as, stuck pipe, lost circulation, and ballooning), Borehole stability, Operating guidelines, Drilling fluid properties necessary to maximize drilling performance, Discussion of polymers in drilling fluids, Solids control equipment arrangement to assure best drilled solids removal.

This simulation experience enables participants to assume the role of senior management who are managing operations spanning the full value chain from license acquisition to exploration, appraisal and production, and oil & gas marketing. The program takes participants on a simulated, multi-year journey where small teams collaborate, build fundamental capabilities and practice real-world decision making. 

This course presents the basic knowledge and fundamentals of intelligent well completions needed to identify, plan, and execute smart-well and smart-field projects. Participants will gain an understanding of the petroleum engineering considerations for intelligent well applications such as project screening, well performance modeling and reservoir simulation. They will also learn about the equipment, functionality, completion design and execution needed to successfully implement the project.

An effective relationship between clients and contractors at all stages of the procurement / supply chain is essential for competently managing health and safety in a hydrocarbon (or any) facility. This course provides the practical processes for developing and managing a contractor safety management system covering all stages of the contracting cycle based around recognized management systems. During this course participants will learn about Supply chain strategy, Management systems, Pre-qualification, bidding, evaluation criteria, appointment; Communication and Supply chain performance monitoring, interviewing skills, auditing.

In this course, participants learn to estimate petroleum reserves using SEC and SPE/WPC definitions, guidelines and latest interpretations. Instructors will present the main reservoir engineering and geoscience methods used to estimate reserves, and demonstrate how definitions affect such estimates. Case studies are used to illustrate different methods for estimating reserves, along with typical errors and how to avoid them. Participants will also learn supplemental techniques such as reservoir simulation and probabilistic methods for estimating reserves.
