  Geology & Geophysics Petrophysics & Reservoir Production & Completions Engineering Well Construction / Drilling Petroleum Business Helath, Safety & Environment
      Well System Performance Completions / Intervention Stimulation Artificial Lift      
Courses providing Basic Application and Skilled Application competencies that also typically include cross-discipline competencies as well. The Specialized level assumes that the participant has sound Foundation skills in at least one of the primary disciplines relevant to the course content.  
Applied Rock Mechanics
Horizontal and Multilateral Wells: Drilling, Completions & Stimulation
Advanced Hydraulic Fracturing
       
Basic Application and Skilled Application competencies. The Intermediate level assumes the participant has the Foundation skills in that discipline from a combination of Foundation-level courses and on-the-job experience. Awareness competencies may be quickly reviewed in the course, but are not rigorously taught.  
Reservoir Characterization
Gas Production Engineering
Flow Assurance for Offshore Systems
Oilfield Water Production, Handling and Injection
Production Logging
Sand Control
Production Chemistry
Formation Damage
Hydraulic Fracturing Applications
Gas Lift
Beam Pumps
Progressing Cavity Pumps
Electrical Submersible Pumps
Gas Well Deliquification
 
Petroleum Project Management
  
Courses providing Basic Application (along with Awareness) competencies and normally intended as the starting point for one that plans to be a practitioner in that discipline. The Foundation level is also used as cross-training courses for those that desire a deeper understanding of fundamentals than can be obtained in a Basic course.
