The objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the technologies and applications of modern petroleum engineering. The course addresses engineering issues ranging from initial involvement in exploration to production optimisation challenges. It is considered a primary course prior to specialised training programs.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts involved in petroleum reservoir and production engineering
Become familiar with the wide range of exploration, drilling and production techniques used by the petroleum industry
OUTLINE
Petroleum geology and reservoir types
Tools for exploration and field appraisal
Reservoir fluid and rock properties
Drilling and completions
Subsurface fluid flow
Well flow and production network
Well stimulation
Artificial lift
Well logging
Integrated production optimisation
Reserves evaluation and determination of recovery factor
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is designed for E&P and service company staff (management, engineers, geologists, geophysicists, chemists, physicists) with limited background in petroleum engineering.
