Fundamentals of Petroleum Exploration,

Drilling & Production for Non-Technical

Personnel

Training Class Syllabus to be adapted

According to customer needs

This 4-day course

provides understandable

fundamentals of key

surface/subsurface

physical processes and

technologies of

petroleum engineering to

non-technical

professionals involved or

interested in the oil and

gas industry.

After a worldwide

overview of the

petroleum business, the

course will describe the

associated petroleum

activities in the natural

order as they appeared

in a field exploitation

breaking down into a

discussion of each

discipline such as:

reservoir exploration,

drilling, completion,

production and

economics.

As an introductory

course, the sessions will

focus on relevant and

practical issues helping

the participants to

acquire vocabulary,

concepts,

methodologies,

techniques and tools

used in petroleum

engineering.

Course Objective This module is part of an integrated reservoir management program offered by Frontender Corporation, and aims to: 1. Provide an understandable introduction to petroleum engineering for IT and/or non-
