Oil Exploration & Production Fundamentals: Basic Petroleum Technology

Why Attend

Petroleum is one of the major traded commodities in the global market which drive the economy of many countries. Petroleum technology evolved with many tools and modeling programs in both exploration and production. Hence it is important for the Oil & Gas professionals to update their knowledge with modern best practices.

The Exploration & Production Fundamentals training course will provide the participants with an overview of oil and gas production and related facilities. It will present an overview/fundamental understanding of the wide range of oil and gas production handling and treatment equipment. The training gives emphasis of the calculation of reserves, fluid properties from the reservoir through the gathering network.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course on Exploration & Production Fundamentals, participants would be able to:

  • Learn global oil & gas related statistics, such as reserves, production, consumption and exports
  • Enhance knowledge on upstream, middle stream, and downstream operations and related facilities
  • Familiarize the participants with various methods and techniques used to explore, drill, produce, treat, and transport oil, gas, and their products
  • Gain an overview of the typical oil & gas operations facilities from the wellhead, flow lines, separators, tanks, pumps and compressors, pipelines, gas treatment and processing, refinery operations, etc.
  • Understand the basic concept with regard to evaluating oil & gas reserves, artificial lift, and enhancing recovery
  • Understand the challenges associated with this industry such as offshore operations, horizontal drilling, and other safety concerns
  • Get a general feel for basic petroleum economics

Target Audience

The Exploration & Production Fundamentals training course is designed for:

  • Non-petroleum Engineers
  • Administrators & Support Services personnel
  • Data Processing Personnel

The course is also beneficial to all those interested in obtaining a general understanding of the petroleum technology/industry.

Training Methodology

The Exploration & Production Fundamentals training course includes a number of exercises aimed at enhancing each participant’s capability to understand various techniques used in finding, producing and processing oil & natural gas.

A number of short films will be presented during the course to enhance the participant’s knowledge of petroleum technology. Additionally, no prior knowledge of the topics covered in the course is required..

Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training and measure the skill and ability of participants.
