Fundamentals of Petroleum Engineering 2014 is a course that covers topics such as:
- Reservoir engineering: optimising production of oil and gas via proper well placement, production levels and enhanced oil recovery techniques. This involves the use of computer simulations to assist in the identification of risks and to make forecasts on reservoir potential
- Petroleum geology: finding hydrocarbons by analysing subsurface structures with geological and geophysical methods
- Drilling engineering: managing the technical aspects of drilling both production and injection wells
- Production engineering: managing the interface between the reservoir and the well and selecting surface equipment that separates the produced fluids (oil, natural gas and water)
Fundamentals of Petroleum Engineering 2014 is intended for:
- Project, process, field, installation and production engineers
- Upstream industry employees wanting to increase their skills and knowledge
- Experienced engineers in other sectors looking for new opportunities
- Surveyors, operations managers and consultants
- Recent graduates aiming to specialise in the exploration and production sector
- Professionals in supporting or aligned oil and gas functions
