The Significance of Petroleum Reserve and Resource Estimates Petroleum reserves data are used by a variety of stakeholders for multiple purposes. The way reserves are estimated and communicated is an integrated activity, cutting across several technical and commercial disciplines. Therefore, a basic understanding of the reserve estimation process is a fundamental requirement for all disciplines involved in the exploration and exploitation aspects of the  more...

Petroleum Geoscience Basics The course is designed for administrative and technical staff and summarises the different disciplines in geosciences in a systematic approach, starting from large scale earth systems and reaching into details of an oil reservoir.  more...

Sequence Stratigraphy This 5 day course covers the theory and principles of sequence stratigraphy, the controls on sediment supply, sequences and systems tracts, high resolution sequence stratigraphy and parasequences, seismic stratigraphic interpretation and seismic reflection termination patterns, the recognition of systems tracts on seismic data and pitfalls in interpretation.  more...

Petroleum Geology of North Africa North Africa holds huge reserves and resources of oil and gas and contains some of the most important regions for future hydrocarbon production. The recent drilling successes onshore Algeria and offshore Egypt, and renewed industry interest in Libya have re-invigorated exploration activity. This course introduces the petroleum geology of North Africa, reviews the main depositional elements across  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...

Advanced Gas Condensate Reservoir Management Thorough evaluation of gas condensate reservoirs requires an understanding of not only the fluid behaviour in the reservoir, but also the sampling and testing procedures together with the wellbore performance. This course addresses the key subjects concerning the performance of gas condensate systems from reserve evaluation to production optimisation planning.  more...

Multiphase Flow Metering ...pment, evaluation and use of Multiphase Flow Meters (MFM) systems has been a major focus for the Oil & Gas industry worldwide. Since the early 1990's, when the first commercial meters started to appear, there have been around 2, 000 field applications of MFM for field allocation, production optimisation and well testing. So far, many alternative metering systems have been developed, but none of  more...

Petroleum Systems Modelling for Exploration Risk Assessments Geologic risks in petroleum exploration are related to the traps (geometry, reservoir, seal), as well to the petroleum Charge Risk. While traps are always subjected to the most detailed possible assessments as a part of the exploration risk analysis, this is not always the case for Charge Risking, even though it can easily be shown that the geologic risking is often dangerously incomplete without  more...

Basin Analysis and Petroleum Systems This 5 day course covers the theory of basin formation, the controls on, and mechanisms of subsidence and sedimentation, and then looks at examples from around the world of typical basin types. Emphasis is on impact basin style and sedimentation has on the hydrocarbon habitat and prospectivity, offering analogues for use in exploration. Within each basin, depositional systems are reviewed, and  more...
