ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
To the non-geologist, working with Petroleum Geologists can be confusing.
Petroleum geology has specific terminology and many concepts and data sources
unfamiliar to the uninitiated.
This course has been designed to introduce these terms and provide an insight
into how oil and gas are formed, how they are found and how they are extracted.
Using a holistic combination of lectures, experiments, case study and practical
exercises, the course involves an introduction to fundamental geological
concepts, to exploration techniques, prospecting, drilling, well logs and
recovery methods. The course will also demystify the terminology surrounding
petroleum geology, demonstrate the use of geological information to show the
value and weakness of different datasets, and lead to better communication and
decision-making between the geologists and non-geologists.
It will feature world-class virtual reality field trips that incorporate
activities and features unavailable in the physical field, and provide for a
more integrated and flexible learning resource (also see the trainer's article
on page 4 which was first published in GEO ExPro Magazine, the upstream oil and
gas industry's favourite magazine).
Course Highlights:
1. Course facilitator has delivered petroleum geology training to many
companies over the years
2. Facilitator is also a professionally trained teacher and former university
lecturer who is experienced in communicating with people at all levels of
technical knowledge
3. Practical exercises, experiments, examination of real rocks, a virtual
reality field trip and case study are used to clarify and reinforce
important concepts
Training Objectives
By attending this training, you will be able to acquire the following:
* Understand the geological methods and principles used in hydrocarbon
exploration, development and production.
* Understand the key elements of a petroleum system, from hydrocarbon source to
reservoir and seal
* Appreciate basin analysis, regional geology and play based exploration
techniques
* Be aware of the different sorts of hydrocarbon trap from structural to
stratigraphic
* Understand the technical terminology, tools and methods used in exploration
geology
* Learn about unconventional
* Understand and evaluate the sources and reliability of various types of
geological information
* Understand acquisition, processing and interpretation of seismic data
* Learn the technical processes and terminology involved in exploration
* Understand how a prospect is defined and risked
* Understand how seismic, existing well information and outcrop geology can be
used for exploration
* Gain an understanding of the methods used for petroleum geology to allow a
discovery to be appraised and then developed
Target Audience
The course is suitable to all personnel, but those that benefit most include:
* This course will benefit Petroleum Engineers (reservoir, drilling,
production) who work with geological data, Geophysicists with little or no
geological background, Project managers whose teams include petroleum
geologists, Finance, Procurement, Marketing and Communications staff, and
government Data Managers who handle petroleum geological data and need to
understand the sources of different types of data.
Trainer
Your expert course leader is the Geosciences Technical Director for PetroEdge.
She was previously, the manager of Robertson Petroleum Training Centre and a
Senior Project Scientist at Robertson CGG. She has over 20 years of experience
in teaching geology and leading field trips. Prior to her 8 years at Robertson,
she was in academia as a lecturer for 6 years and a Research Fellow for 3 years.
She has conducted fieldwork and led field trips in the US and many areas in the
UK. In addition, she has led university regional geology day schools and has
comprehensive experience in course and study programme writing.
She has extensive experience in delivering courses and in Clastic and Carbonate
Reservoir Geology, Deepwater Turbidites, Sandstone Reservoirs, Wireline Log
Interpretation, Integrated Sequence Stratigraphy, Basin Analysis and Exploration
& Appraisal workshops globally. In delivering the Exploration Team Management
Workshop, she has project managed and taught key principles and modules on
project planning, data collection/collation, geophysical assessment,
stratigraphy and facies mapping, source rock facies and hydrocarbon generation,
play fairway mapping, risking and prospect evaluation. Her knowledge and
enthusiasm for instructing is reflected in consistently being rated as excellent
by trainees, and clients specifically requesting her participation in courses.
POST TRAINING COACHING SUPPORT (OPTIONAL)
To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer
individualized 'One to One' coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can
help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your
learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your
capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be
delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers.
They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help
you achieve your goals faster.
