Discipline: Reservoir Engineering Level: Foundation Duration: 5 days Instructor(s): Rosalind Archer, Iskander Diyashev, Curtis Golike, Stanley Kleinsteiber, MHA Petroleum Consultants, Grant Robertson, Deb Ryan |
This course gives the non-reservoir engineer a better understanding of reservoir engineering practices and limitations. The course is designed to provide a good understanding of reservoir engineering processes, the required data, and the limitations on the engineers' analysis and interpretations. The course also provides persons who are already well trained in the other upstream petroleum industry technical disciplines with an understanding of the current state-of-the-art practice of reservoir engineering. One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants. "Great instruction, knowledge on all topics; room for questions, discussion." - Senior Technical Planner, Norway "Excellent course for the desired introduction." - Manager - Exploration Germany, Germany "Very thoughtful, clear answers to questions. Class moves quickly, but passes along great amount of info." - Senior Project Advisor, United States |
Designed For: Engineers and geoscientists now working in an asset environment where they need to better understand the practices and limitations of the methods and procedures employed by the reservoir engineers with whom they work. Participants should have three or more years of technical experience in the upstream petroleum industry. |
