Disciplines

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 virtual course, run over 5 sessions, details the main financial concepts and economic evaluation techniques and related financial concepts that are used in the oil and gas upstream business to assist decision making. The course will focus on the conversion of hydrocarbon volumes to ‘monetary value’ and the requirement for consistent means of determining the attractiveness of investment opportunities through the field lifecycle. Portfolio decision making will also be discussed.

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.
