ABOUT THE COURSE

This course is far more than an introduction to petroleum engineering and certainly is not a superficial presentation of the technology of the industry. Its purpose is to develop an understanding of the technology and its applications at an engineers level, and the confidence and professional enthusiasm which comes with that understanding. The course has had a revolutionary effect on training programs for many major oil and service companies by making specialized training that follows far more effective. Participants enter those specialized programs with a depth of understanding of that particular technology and relation to other classic and new technologies of the industry. The course focuses on the field and application approach, and includes classroom exercises, fundamental engineering problems, and basic field exercises.Basic Petroleum Engineering Practices will set the foundation for technical professionals with regards to technology and its engineering applications. The course starts out with a brief introduction of the history and current state of the oil and gas industry. Next, reservoir fluids, petroleum geology, and petroleum reservoirs are discussed. Then, various facets of exploration technology, drilling engineering and operations, well completion technology, and production technology are covered before finishing with surface processing of produced fluids.

DESIGNED FORTechnical, field, service, support and supervisory personnel desiring to gain an introductory overview of these topics and how they interrelate. Excellent for cross-training of other technical disciplines such as reservoir and surface facility engineers plus geoscientists, and anyone who interacts with drilling, completion or workover design engineers such as technical supervisors and technical service personnel.

This is not a fundamental course for training engineers seeking a career in drilling or workovers (for these,PO1 is recommended).

YOU WILL LEARN How drilling, completing and reworking a well affects its ability to produce What can be done within open-hole and cased wells, as a part of reservoir management How drilling practices can damage or stimulate producing wells

ABOUT THE COURSE

This course gives a technical overview of the science and art of drilling operations, completion practices and post-completion wellbore enhancement or remedial workover techniques (well intervention). It develops an understanding of the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of each of these areas of engineering practice. Reservoir Engineers will learn what can be done within open-hole and cased wells as they execute reservoir management. Drilling and completion personnel will learn how the producing reservoir can be damaged or stimulated by what they do. The participants learn to visualize what is happening downhole, discover what can be accomplished and gain an appreciation for wellbore risks and the possibility of damage to the formation; and how drilling and completion practices can alter reservoir interpretation and performance. The participant will become conversant with specific technical terminology and aware of practical applications, which should enhance communication and interaction between disciplines.

DESIGNED FORReservoir, development and exploration geologists; geophysicists; petrophysicists; log analysts; petroleum engineers; and experienced technicians

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO Select optimum drillsites for field development Use log and rock data to identify reservoir rock, non-reservoir rock and pay Determine fluid distribution in a field and identify reservoir compartments Estimate field reserves through the life of a field Characterize carbonate and clastic rocks by productivity Construct geologic reservoir models Determine field drive mechanism Apply seismic analysis to reservoir development Determine which depositional characteristics impact reservoir behavior and use this

information to optimize development Compile a development plan Use economic techniques to evaluate different development plans

ABOUT THE COURSEKnowing the controls on reservoir pore space distribution is critical to the appraisal, development, and efficient management of reservoirs. Participants learn, through hands-on exercises, to compile a development plan for a field that emphasizes optimal recovery. Emphasis is placed on the selection of rock, log and test data to distinguish reservoir and non-reservoir rocks, and to determine the lower limit of pay. Structural, stratigraphic, deposition and diagenetic concepts are used to locate drillsites and describe reservoirs. The input required to construct a geologic reservoir models is reviewed. Participants learn the importance of modifying development plans as a field becomes more mature and more data is available. Techniques for mature field rejuvenation are discussed, and case histories are used to illustrate successful application of various techniques.

COURSE CONTENT Geologic characteristics that impact field development Appraisal: Determining recoverable hydrocarbons Reservoir fluid properties and saturation Influence of capillarity on hydrocarbon distribution and fluid contacts Reserve and resource evaluation Volumetric reserve estimation and calculation Stratigraphic influence on field production Depositional and digenetic controls on reservoir rock, barriers, and hydrocarbon distribution Describing reservoir rock to understand reservoir behavior in carbonate and clastic rocks Determining if hydrocarbons can be recovered from in a given field, what is pay?

DESIGNED FORPetroleum industry personnel in need of basic geological training, including engineering, geophysical, technical support, and administrative personnel

YOU WILL LEARN About plate tectonics and petroleum About geological time and history The fundamentals of rock formation and deformation The essentials of various depositional environments and the reservoirs created by

them The distribution of porosity and permeability in reservoirs produced in different

depositional environments How rock characteristics are related to modern geological processes and applied to

the ancient record About petroleum reservoir and source rocks Of petroleum origin, migration, and trapping How to correlate electric logs and recognize depositional environments on logs How to make contour maps and cross sections Elements of geophysics and exploration How geology bears directly on engineering practices

ABOUT THE COURSEWhat is Basic Petroleum Geology? For all practical purposes it closely resembles the freshman level course that a non-science major at a university would take to satisfy the science requirement. Presentation is oriented toward topics of interest to the petroleum industry. While high school chemistry and physics might help in understanding a very few selected topics, the course is designed for those with no technical training (and those who studiously avoided science in school). Primary objectives of the course are to broaden your geological vocabulary, explain selected geological principles and processes, and describe how certain petroleum reservoirs and source rocks are formed. If you have had a geology course at the university level and remember most of it, this course is not for you. If you have had a geology course and dont remember much of it, then consider this course for a refresher. If you are an engineer, geophysicist, petrophysicist, geotech, lawyer, or financial analyst dealing with geologists and dont understand the geological terms used in discussions and/or do not know the characteristics of a point bar, barrier island, channel-levee complex, or some other reservoir, then this course may be for you.

COURSE CONTENT Minerals and rocks Plate tectonics Geological times Weathering and erosion Deposition Diagenesis Reservoirs Structural geology and petroleum Origin, migration, and trapping of petroleum

ABOUT THE COURSEWith conventional hydrocarbon resources growing thinner, heavy oil and bitumen are being looked at as the next resource that could be exploited in the near future. As both heavy oil and bitumen are a global resource, they are fast becoming an asset base for many energy companies. Economical development of heavy oil reservoir requires accurate characterization of the rocks as well as the fluids contained therein. As heavy oil properties are different from conventional oil, its exploration and production requires special seismic strategies and rock physics models. Geophysical characterization of heavy oil reservoirs is therefore at the heart of production of this resource.

COURSE CONTENT Mechanisms for the formation of heavy oil General phase behavior of hydrocarbons and heavy oil Properties of heavy oil and rock physics analysis Geophysical approaches to characterization of heavy oil reservoirs Measuring and monitoring heavy oil properties Methods of extraction of heavy oil (CHOPS, SAGD, etc.) Challenges for heavy oil production Seismic monitoring of hot and cold heavy oil production Optimization of Canadian heavy oil production through reservoir characterization Environmental issues Jeopardy exercises on each of these units

DESIGNED FORPetroleum engineers and production engineers with 0 to 5 years of experience who have a limited understanding of the geoscience concepts and methods used to evaluate reservoir rocks and predict fluid flow behavior during production. Junior level geoscientists, or those new to the NW European petroleum provinces will also benefit.

YOU WILL LEARN Basic petroleum systems Depositional system concepts North Sea and Wessex Basin reservoir behavior and

style The Static Model Production geoscience in the field life cycle

ABOUT THE COURSEThis course focuses on the key geoscience concepts that underpin oil and gas field development and reservoir management. Concepts of depositional systems and stratigraphic variability are illustrated through a combination of lectures, classroom exercises and outcrop examples of typical sandstone reservoir rocks. These concepts are placed in the context of field appraisal, development planning and reservoir management, emphasizing those geoscience topics that are critical to understanding other integrated petroleum engineering disciplines. The course describes the geological controls on reservoir characteristics, including rock properties, fluid saturation distribution and reservoir heterogeneities. The reservoir geology of the nearby coastal outcrops is compared to genetically analogous reservoirs in the North Sea and nearby Wessex basin and implications for understanding reservoir behavior are reviewed. Reservoir characteristics are related to awareness level construction of static geo-cellular models, dynamic flow models, development plans, production forecasts and the workflows of integrated field development teams. The course is intended to integrate geoscience at a level appropriate for subsurface engineers at a cross-discipline level.

COURSE CONTENT Petroleum Systems: sedimentary basins; tectonics & stratigraphy; source rocks; reservoir/seal systems; burial history; petroleum maturation, migration, entrapment & preservation Depositional systems: clastic & carbonate environments and associated reservoir rocks; structural & stratigraphic heterogeneities; stratigraphic concepts; subsurface recognition in cores, well logs & seismic; outcrop examples of deltaic sand bodies North Sea and Wessex basin plays The Static Model: trap configuration & influence on external geometries; internal reservoir characteristics & depositional controls; pore systems & their influence on fluid storage and flow behavior; estimating hydrocarbon volumes in-place; why rocks are heterogeneous and how to deal with the consequences for fluid upscaling Production geoscience in the field lifecycle: appraisal, development planning and production/reservoir management; geological influence on field development with selected case studies

DESIGNED FORGeologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, reservoir and production engineers, exploration-production managers, all team members involved in reservoir characterization, technicians working with clastic reservoirs. The course provides a refresher in new concepts in this field for geoscientists at a foundation level.

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO Interpret clastic depositional environments using

data from cores, cuttings and wireline logs (including FMI)

Apply new sequence stratigraphic concepts to clastic reservoirs

Correlate wells using knowledge of depositional environment

Predict reservoir size, shape, trend and quality

ABOUT THE COURSEThis course is essential for geoscientists and engineers involved in the exploration and development of clastic reservoirs. It focuses on methods that can be used to improve the prediction of reservoir size, shape, trend and quality through detailed analysis of depositional environments. The sedimentary characteristics of each of the principal clastic depositional systems are presented in detail, using examples from recent environments, outcrops, cores, wireline logs and test/production data from oil and gas fields in various parts of the world (United States, North Sea/Atlantic, Africa, Middle East, Far East etc). Practical exercises are taken from each of the principal depositional settings and involve detailed mapping, interpretation of core and log characteristics, and integration of data from FMI logs. Emphasis is placed on the application of fundamental sedimentary principles (modern, ancient and subsurface) to actual subsurface data so that the participants can immediately use the information in their exploration and development activities.
