A Comprehensive and Applied Course in Enhanced Oil Recovery This is an intensive, applied course in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The three main EOR processes covered are miscible flood (CO2 and miscible gas injection), chemical flood (micellar/ polymer), and thermal recovery (steam injection and in-situ combustion). The physics of each EOR process will be covered in detail, including the fundamentals of reservoir fluid flow and recovery mechanisms. Each  more...

Fundamentals of Petroleum Geology This introductory course reviews the fundamental elements of the petroleum geology. It starts by placing hydrocarbons in a global context; the philosophy and structure of the oil industry; energy trends, future resources. The petroleum environment is then reviewed: source rocks, reservoirs, traps, seals and the timing of generation relative to trap formation. The course then examines the  more...

Foundations of Petrophysics Petrophysics is a key discipline in petroleum exploration and production. The main objectives of this course are to understand: - The petrophysical properties and corresponding logging methods, - The fundamentals of log interpretation and formation evaluation, - The link between petrophysics and seismic reservoir characterisation tools  more...

Waterflood - Fundamentals Design and Management This is an intensive, applied course in waterflood design and management. Certain theoretical aspects of waterflooding (e. g. Buckley-Leverett fractional flow) will be briefly covered. Topics covered will include: reservoir performance analysis, well injectivity estimates, waterflood candidate selection, waterflood forecasting (includes hands-on analytical and simulation modeling), impact of  more...

Petroleum Economics and Business This course teaches the fundamentals of assessing the economic viability of upstream oil & gas projects in terms of the data/ information required, the calculation techniques used, the assumptions made and how to interpret the resulting metrics such as NPV, ROI, ROR, IRR, P/ I, etc.  more...
