Course Overview

Petroleum engineering encompasses all activities involved in hydrocarbon production. The various stages of the production process are broadly divided into upstream, midstream and downstream activities.

The quality of the reservoir and wells determine the quality and quantity of produce, also influenced by extraction methods.

Thus, the entire process of petroleum engineering involves various analytical methods and complex calculations, the knowledge of which is imperative for anyone interested in petroleum engineering.

This Zoe training course will empower professionals with an in-depth understanding of petroleum engineering principles, calculations and workflows.

Through this course, you would be well equipped with the necessary skills and capabilities to handle any responsibility across any vertical of petroleum engineering, thereby fostering greater opportunities for career growth and progression within and outside your organisation.

Course Objectives

The key objective of this training course is to empower professionals to—

  • develop a thorough understanding and detailed knowledge of petroleum engineering principles, calculations and workflow
  • understand and management functions across the upstream, midstream and/or downstream sectors, thus proving to be a dynamic professional sought for roles requiring knowledge of all three sectors
  • assume roles and responsibilities in various areas requiring strong foundational knowledge of petroleum engineering principles
  • partake and complete complex calculations and analyses for one’s organisation to reach appropriate conclusions bearing the maximum benefit
  • scrutinize and review various workflows to ensure proper maintenance of all required standards and benchmarks for effective, safe operation
  • foresee and address various risks that could affect the development of one’s organisation, thereby contributing to organisational growth and development
  • apply advanced concepts and technologies to enhance the quality and productivity of operations across all sectors of petroleum engineering
  • ensure adherence to all standards of environmental, employee and plant safety during operations

Training Methodology

Zoe Talent Solutions’ training courses are customisable as per the professional backgrounds of the training audience. Thus, before the commencement of each session, the content is thoroughly checked for any changes.

Trainers, who are highly experienced professionals from the relevant domain, deliver the training using audio-visual presentations for ease of reference. Trainees are encouraged to actively participate in the program through various group activities and assignments. Role-plays and experiential learning are an integral part of the training program.

The above unique training format is adopted by Zoe Talent Solutions for all its courses and is called the Do–Review–Learn–Apply Model.
