Course Overview
The positive impact of petroleum products on our daily lives and in our modern world has created a dependence on it, which has resulted in a continuous and unending quest for its exploration, drilling, and production. It is no longer easy to find oil fields, and with the increase in difficulties of finding the oil field, the difficulties of drilling the fields are also increasing.
What does production mean in oil and gas?
It is, necessary for one to traverse across the planet both offshore and into its core to get any supplies of oil. The highly interesting course in petroleum geochemistry and geology will examine in great depth the multi-disciplinary nature of petroleum fields exploration. You will learn about the types of technologies that are used, drilling, and production of oil and petroleum business.
The course will focus on:
- Understanding the basic and advanced fundamentals of drilling, production operations, well preparations, and completions, and examining the basic to advanced phenomena of recovery operations
- Understanding the exploration endeavours and activities from the inception of a project through implementation to completion and finally production, i.e., the life cycle of a project
- Recognizing and learning the professional and technical terminologies deeply as applied to the petrochemical business and appreciating the difference between appraisal, development, and exploration of wells
- Appreciating the evolving nature of the petrochemical business and its many facets and identifying and managing any key stakeholder expectations
- Greatly developing a great knowledge and appreciation of the beginning and origin of oil and gas and identifying the basics of geochemical science and how it is related to oil and gas wells
What is the meaning of petroleum geology?
This Zoe course will focus on analytical techniques, geochemistry concepts, and interpretation approach for source rock assessment and migration.
Delegates will learn the petroleum methods of generation, and techniques to identify the quantities of hydrocarbon present in any well. Complex concepts such as compartmentalisation studies, unconventional resource assessment, and surface geochemistry will be further explored in this course.
Course Objectives
The main objectives of this course are to give the participants the ability to-
- Thoroughly understand the concepts of geochemistry and geology while grasping the main ideas and knowledge that is required for exploration, drilling, and main production of petrochemicals
- Examine the oil and well fields to determine and ensure that the safety guidelines are followed
- Understand the different and unique fiscal and production sharing agreements that are in various ways involved and the challenges together with opportunities that are in existence
- Have a deeper appreciation and understanding of the key stakeholders involved in the petrochemical industry and specifically in the exploration process
- Review any existing wells for oil and gas and relate to safety issues, and suggest appropriate measures to ensure that safety is followed
- Explore the planet for any global oil and gas wells and understand the existing types of oil and gas companies
- Train other professionals and colleges on important aspects of geochemistry and geology
- Apply advanced technologies and tools in operation to enhance oil and gas exploration
- Predict with great accuracy all risks that could cause damage to the environment while doing petrochemical exploration
- Oversee multiple functions end to end at any petrochemical exploration
Training Methodology
This Zoe course is an engagement course, and all the participants are encouraged to actively participate in the course to get a hands-on and interactive experience. The course is offered by authoritative industry facilitators who will give the participants many opportunities to advance their ideas and knowledge. The facilitators will ensure the environment used in learning will introduce support for a great and easy understanding of the concepts that will be discussed.
