Course Description
This is a course for Geoscientists and Engineers on mitigating risk and increasing profitability using integrated geophysical solutions in the oil and gas industry.
This 2-day course follows the life cycle of an oil or gas property, from concept to booking reserves from the engineering point of view. Case histories are used to illustrate the geophysical tools that would apply to solve an oil field development problem at various points in the property’s lifetime.
The course is designed to identify specific operational problems and provide integrated geophysical tools to help solve that problem. The course will address issues such as:
- Mis-located leases, preliminary site verification
- Drill hazards, including wells with lost circulation, staying in-zone, or getting stuck
- Difficulty in making the drill type curve
- Visualizing, planning, and encountering optimal reservoir zones
- Underperforming the production type curve
- Uncertainty in how effective your wells were completed
- Uncertainty on how many perf clusters/stages are contributing to the production
- Sustaining the profitability of legacy oil fields.
- Getting additional reserves booked for your company
Simplified Machine Learning applications and workflows will be used to add clarity and enhance the learner’s ability to decide which geophysical techniques are of value to integrate into their project process flows.
The case histories clearly illustrate where integrated geological, geophysical and engineering data are critical to the project’s success.
The case histories will include unconventional, conventional, oil sands, and other petroleum production settings.
A complete set of course materials is included in this course
Who Should Attend
The course is ideal for Geoscientists with a least 5 years of experience and their asset team Engineers. This course is also recommended for Management, Financial Analysts and Team Leaders as the case histories give a qualitative learning experience without the need to understand all of the technical details.
