D647 Shale & Tight Oil for Technical Professionals (Distance Learning)
D647 Shale & Tight Oil for Technical Professionals (Distance Learning)
Published articles and ongoing analysis indicates some practical evaluation and quality control techniques are being over-looked as more of the production correlation and target selection efforts shift to specialized software applications. As a result, the course will emphasize simple methods that provide valuable and timely interpretations.
The course material is equally split between geoscientific and engineering topics to assist technical team members in speaking the same language while developing integrated solutions.
The webinar is presented in five 3.5-hour segments conducted over a one-week period. Most modules require participants spend fifteen to thirty minutes offline completing example problems or case studies.
This is a virtual course with lectures, examples and exercises. Participants will earn 2.4 CEUs (Continuing Education Credits) or 24 PDHs (Professional Development Hours).
Participants will learn to:
Module One
Module Two
Module Three
Module Four
Module Five
