Why Choose this Training Course?
Why Choose this Training Course?
Most oil and gas companies’ business structures are segmented and organized according to business segment, assets, or function. The upstream oil and gas segment are known as the exploration and production (E&P). The exploration and production (E&P) lead to discovery of new oil fields, recovering and producing crude oil and natural gas to comply with increasing demand. It is a challenging area for many companies due to the technical complexity, resources, risk, technology and investment decision.
This PetroKnowledge training course will cover the exploration and production process to be more efficient and optimize operations.
This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:
- The formation of petroleum
- Exploration and reservoir engineering
- Field appraisals, development, petroleum economics and managing risk
- Techniques are used to optimize recovery from the reservoir over its lifetime
- Processing oil and gas at surface facilities, and transportation
The Structure
This PetroKnowledge training course is split into two modules:
MODULE I - Upstream Exploration for Oil and Gas
MODULE II - Upstream Production for Oil and Gas
Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a two-week training course.
What are the Goals?
What are the Goals?
The objectives of this PetroKnowledge training course are to enhance the knowledge and skill in upstream in oil and gas. This PetroKnowledge training course has five key objectives:
- Explain the formation of petroleum
