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:
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
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

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.

Instructor
John L.J. Duhault, P.Geo.
John Duhault is an “Advisor Risk-Mitigator Trainer” Geoscientist who has over 42 years of industry experience including over 50,000 hours as a geoscience interpreter in Canada and internationally. He is passionate about teaching the business value of integrated geophysics through the “storytelling” of case histories and has presented papers in North America, Europe, and New Zealand.
Mr. Duhault graduated from the University of Manitoba with a BSc in Geological Engineering. During his career he has found significant reserves of oil and gas for senior exploration companies and numerous junior independents. He also founded and led two private junior oil and gas companies.
Now Mr. Duhault is the Principal Consultant for Starbird Enterprises where he specializes in conventional exploration, unconventional resource-play, and energy transition industry (Geothermal, CCS and Helium) seismic interpretation. He also teaches in-person and virtual courses on integrated geophysical applications for Geoscientists and Engineers.
Mr. Duhault is a Past President of the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG) and is currently the Vice-Chair for the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG).
Mr. Duhault is a member of APEGA, CSEG, SEG, CSPG, SPE, and SPEE.
