ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL INSTRUCTOR LED TRAINING (VILT)
A large amount of geological data is acquired at a substantial cost when
carrying out a drilling operation. Ensuring optimal quality of this information
and effective reporting plays a key role during well design and drilling
operations. In addition, there is much to benefit from the later usage of the
data in field studies. A critical component that ensures favourable and positive
results is the close co-operation between geological, drilling and well
engineering departments.
Comprising 5 half-day sessions, this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)
course aims to provide the required knowledge in order for the collaboration to
be most effective and successful. This VILT course will comprise lectures
interspersed with practical and interactive exercises and quizzes to promote
better understanding.
Training Objectives
At the end of this VILT course, participants will be able to:
* Understand the techniques used by wellsite geologists in formation evaluation
via:
* Quick-look analysis to assess reservoir and hydrocarbons
* Mudlog data (lithology/cutting description, gas readings)
* Grasp the application of wellsite data in exploration and development
* Be able to read, assess and use drilling reports
* Acquire an understanding of drilling problems caused by subsurface conditions
* Understand the role and contributions of the geologist to the well maturation
process
Target Audience
This VILT course is intended for geologists and other subsurface staff involved
in drilling operations who would like to work and communicate more effectively
with wellsite staff.
Please note that this VILT course is not a preparation course for a wellsite
assignment. To be able to work independently on the wellsite, a more hands-on or
on-site training would be required.
Training Methods
This VILT course will be delivered online in 5 half-day sessions comprising 4
hours per day, with 2 breaks of 10 minutes per day.
Course Duration: 5 half-day sessions, 4 hours per session (20 hours in total).
Trainer
Your expert course leader has close to 20 years of experience as a geologist in
the Oil & Gas industry. Her main interest and passion is in well planning and
operations. She had previously worked as a production geologist and technical
authority in NAM (Netherlands), and as a discipline advisor tasked to coach
young staff in Bangalore. She has been active in internal training sessions on
drilling hazards, mudwindow assessment and project management. She obtained an
MSc in hard rock structural geology from the University in Utrecht, a PhD at
Brown University (RI, USA) and a post-doctoral at the RWTH Aachen.
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.
