Basics of Exploration & Production Process
Course Description
This course covers the basics of oil and gas exploration and production process in intricate detail. A large range of topics like oil well drilling, well completion, wellhead Christmas tree, reservoir drives, artificial lift, stimulation, additional recovery, oil & gas separation, two-phase separation, three-phase separation, oil well testing, etc. have been covered in the course. It describes the petroleum value chain from prospect identification, to project commissioning and to final abandonment. The candidates will leave this course with a firm understanding of the petroleum industry.

Upon completion, participants will have the knowledge and tools necessary to understand the relationships and dependencies across the E&P industry.

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

    • Exploration/production overview
    • Basic petroleum geology principles
    • Basic petroleum geophysics principles
    • Log interpretation basics
    • Drilling basics
    • Basic reservoir engineering
    • Basic production engineering
    • Basic facilities engineering
    • Business principles governing E/P

Newly hired engineers and geoscientists, petroleum engineers, production operators, technicians and industry personnel
