This course presents the basics of analyzing fracturing pressure, including design parameters that can be determined, and the uses and limitations of such analysis for on-site design. During this course participants will get knowledge of In-situ stresses and fracture geometry, Determining closure pressure and analyzing pressure decline, Interruption of bottom-hole treating pressure, Fluid efficiency and the fluid loss coefficient, pressure vs. fracture height growth-stress profile, Scheduling proppant and fluid from pressure decline data. Sessions include real-world examples from a variety of wells, from tight gas and shale to high permeability, offshore, and frac-pack treatments.

This workshop provides engineers and technicians with the basic theoretical and practical understanding of PLC and SCADA systems. It traces the evolution of the PLC as an intelligent ‘black box’ replacement for the relay panel and how, with the advent of modern communications architectures, it is combined with supervisory control systems to allow stand-alone control systems to be configured. Throughout the course, participants will learn through active participation using exercises and questionnaires covering: basic ladder logic programming; hardware diagnostics; and implementation of various communication strategies.

This course provides an overview of process safety engineering fundamentals for hydrocarbon processing facilities, with emphasis on the upstream oil & gas sector. The focus of this course is on the engineering/design aspects of Process Safety Management. Frequent reference will be made to historical incidents and recurring problem areas. Techniques for analyzing and mitigating process safety hazards applicable to oil and gas processing will be reviewed. Integration of the concepts covered to achieve a measured approach to Process Safety Engineering is a key aim of this course. 

This course is most effective when attended by an entire team. Team members will develop and refine the skills essential for high performance teams. Emphasis is placed on learning more effective ways to enhance total team functionality and maximum team productivity. Individual communication styles will be assessed and examined to identify the most appropriate uses of team strengths. This course has been constructed to maximize opportunity for intact teams to strengthen team performance and team productivity.

In the oil and gas industry, skillful and competent leadership is extremely important for safety, productivity and asset management. The st century brings new emphasis on leaders, new communication technologies, increased focus on safety, information overload, workforce dynamics, asset integrity and many other concerns which challenge even the most proficient leader/manager. This course will help you unleash natural motivation in your team. Your stress level can be lowered by working more efficiently and effectively by tapping the emotional intelligence of your team and co-workers.
