About the Courses

The objective of this 5-day course is to introduce professionals from disciplines other than the Geosciences to the key concepts and principles of Geology, Geophysics, and Petrophysicsas applied to the Oil & Gas industry today. Emphasis is placed on the business applications of the particular discipline, using case histories and examples/exercises as appropriate.

This course is a condensed version of three popular NExT courses:• Introduction to Geology• Introduction to Geophysics• Introduction to Petrophysics

Many of the same topics are covered, but in less detail, and with more emphasis on the links between the three disciplines. This is a good introductory-level course to the Geosciencedisciplines, and will give a good working knowledge of the techniques and applications that are commonly applied.

Petrel Fundamentals and Petrel Geology

Petrel FundamentalsThe Petrel Fundamentals course is meant to introduce a new user to Petrel’s functionality with emphasis on visualization, data organization and collaboration. The course will take you fromPetrel project set-up to plotting your results. You will learn how to create surfaces and create a simple grid. As well as, how to QC and visualize a simple grid using the geometricalmodeling process, maps and intersections. The course also introduces you to Studio which is a knowledge environment which empowers a new level of usability, collaboration andproductivity.

Petrel Geology and GeophysicsThis course is based on Petrel 2014.There are some changes in terms of the course flow and table of contents. The data input and retrieval procedures are designed based on the Studiodatabase and Studio Find functionalities.2D workflows dominate this course. Well correlation procedures and concepts provided in this manual are aiming at enabling users to perform log editing and conditioning required for logand well top interpretation and correlation, which will eventually, along with 2D gridding procedures, be utilized for preparation of log property maps essential for more accurate volumeestimations.

Introduction to Drilling

Introduction to Surface Facilities

This, Introduction to Drilling, course is intended for individuals who will be working closely with drilling departments within their companies. This course will give participants a complete understanding of the processes involved in the drilling of oil and gas wells.On each day, there will be a daily, instructor led presentation. The course material that is provided to each participant will contain sufficient attached notes to form a basic manual. To reinforce the learning opportunities some videos and basic exercises will be done.

This course provides a complete overview of wellsite operations from the perspective of the Operations Geologist and the Wellsite Geologist. The focus is on being able to understand the job functions that are typically performed at the wellsite, and what use is made of the large amounts of data collected. The course will also provide an overview of essential drilling operations that have a direct bearing on these disciplines.Wellsite geologists study rock cuttings from oil and gas wells to determine what rock formations are being drilled into and how drilling should proceed. They identify critical strata from core samples and rock-cutting data and build up knowledge of the structure being drilled.

They are experienced geologists, deciding when specialized tests should be carried out and, ultimately, when to stop drilling. They send reports and logs of completed drilling to the operations geologist and offer geological advice to oil company representatives. They also incorporate health and safety requirements in daily geological operations. Wellsite geologists also liaise with drilling engineers, petroleum engineers and mudloggers during the course of projects.

Participants will learn the techniques used by wellsite geologists in formation evaluation through a combination of lectures and exercises that can typically be done at the wellsite. At the end of the course, the participants should have a good understanding and knowledge of the requirements of both Operations and Wellsite Geology.

The course will blend classroom instruction with several practical exercise sessions. If location permits, a visit to a wellsite can be arranged.

Introduction to FDP Workflow

The course structure follows the reservoir / oilfield life cycle with the view of developing a field with an integrated team approach. It will focus on the integration of the results and the impact on the reservoir and field development. This will help in understanding the workflow when working on Field Development Plan. This approach will focus on development of an integrated team involved in developing a hydrocarbon reservoir.
