UPCOMING SESSIONS
Oil and gas companies could potentially gain insights to improve business outcomes in their upstream processes. It is a challenging area for many companies due to the technical complexity and resources.
The upstream exploration conducts necessary geological and geophysical surveys required to explore for economic accumulations of oil or gas.
This Upstream Exploration for Oil and Gas training course will explain the upstream exploration that covers geology and geoscience, economics, and health, safety and environment.
This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:
- Petroleum geology
- Geoscience and basin exploration
- Field appraisals
- Exploration economics
- Health, safety and environment in upstream
The objectives of this Upstream Exploration for Oil and Gas training course are to develop your knowledge and skill in upstream exploration oil and gas. This training course has five key objectives:
- Explain the petroleum formation and geology
- Explain the geoscience and basin exploration
- Understanding the field appraisal
- Analyze the exploration economic
- Understanding health, safety and environment in upstream
Participants to this Upstream Exploration for Oil and Gas training course will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the training course outline with the Tutor utilising a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. Training course methodology includes classroom-style with highly interactive, exercise and case studies the training course will be run using PowerPoint slide and video.
The organisational impact will be demonstrated by the employees participating in this Upstream Exploration for Oil and Gas training course:
- Better understanding the petroleum formation
- Improved knowledge and skill of geology for engineers to estimate the size of the discoveries
- Enhance knowledge of geoscience tools and rock properties
- Better understanding to create field appraisal to saves investment
- Be able to manage risk and analyze the exploration economics
- Capability to apply health, safety and environment in upstream
