Capability and Competency Development for the Energy Sector

This virtual course, run over 5 sessions, will provide a hands-on introduction to statistical modeling and big data analytics so that participants can use them for petroleum engineering and geoscience applications. Topics to be covered include: (a) easy-to-understand descriptions of the commonly-used techniques, (b) case studies demonstrating the applicability, limitations and value-added proposition for these methods, and (c) hands-on problems sessions using open source and/or commercial software. 

This course provides a comprehensive overview of necessary concepts for seismic interpretation in carbonate systems for successful exploration and production. The newest concepts in depositional and microbial processes in shallow and deep water carbonate environments, rock physics, and sequence stratigraphy are presented through a combination of lectures, case studies and exercises.

Participants attending this 3 day classroom course will acquire key petrophysical ideas that underpin petrophysical analysis and how integrated analysis of downhole logs, core data and downhole pressure measurements can enable quantitative estimates of hydrocarbons in place. It also provides an essential foundation as a precursor to the more advanced petrophysics courses.

Participants attending this 3 day classroom course will explore the stratigraphic and structural history of the Gulf of Mexico, from foundational tectonic influences through the evolution from rift to divergent margin. 

Participants on this 3 day classroom course will derive an understanding of wells and completions, allowing for more accurate production performance assessments, as well as better risk mitigation and management.

This virtual course, run over 5 sessions, will cover the utilisation of geothermal heat, the principles of the exploration of geothermal resources, and the fundamentals of developing this resource.
