PETROLEUM PRODUCTION ENGINEERING

This course is intended for engineers, technologists and geoscientists who wish to develop a solid understanding of factors governing the performance of a production system. Participants will learn how to use diagnostic tools such as production logging, well testing, and inflow-outflow analysis to evaluate the capacity of a production system and recognize opportunities for improving profitability, as well as to capitalize on these opportunities through the design of completion and stimulation programs. The topics will be dealt with in a practical manner utilizing real life examples to illustrate and reinforce concepts. 

INTRODUCTION TO WATERFLOODING

MODERN WELL TEST ANALYSIS

This 5-day course is intended for engineers, geologists, and technologists who do not work with pressure transient evaluation techniques on a day to day basis, but want to improve their understanding of this important technology. The basic concepts of modern well testing of conventional gas and oil wells will be reviewed, from design of test programs to their supervision in the field. The topics will be dealt with in a practical manner, addressing the issues of modern well testing. Real life examples will be used extensively throughout the course to illustrate concepts and pressure.

APPLIED PRACTICAL RESERVOIR SIMULATION

 This course is intended for engineers, geologists, geoscientists, and technologists who work on exploration or exploitation projects. The course will demonstrate in a hands-on approach how geostatistically based reservoir characterization, mapping and simulation technologies are now accessible on PC; are exceptionally intuitive and user friendly; and facilitate a 
truly integrated multidisciplinary approach to profitable “real time” hydrocarbon asset management. Participants will see, hands on, that reservoir simulation and mapping can be performed by casual users, not just experts, in a fraction of the time normally allocated to these studies; hence, these techniques can be used to improve profitability in situations where they have never been used before. See practical applications using examples of real world situations where astronomical gains in both reduced development costs and incremental production have been achieved.

This course will emphasize the latest developments in the evaluation and understanding of stimulation especially hydraulically fracturing as a central component to achieve better implementation of field development strategies. The focus will be on "Cost Reduction & Improved Measurable Performance" using Return on Investment as the indisputable measure of each option. Emphasis will be on the application of useful technology & practical software. The hands-on experience will focus on new capabilities with "PRO-software" and Internet implementation of useful strategies for overall field development optimization. Besides exploding long-held myths (like perforation pressure drop & high leak-off), further implications of our new discoveries will be exploited to develop practical methodologies, requiring mainly precise on-site engineering e.g., with real-time analysis. Examples will include coiled-tubing applications (for many more fracturing activities) and viability of open-hole completions. even in stimulating long horizontals.
