Basic Petroleum Technology - BPT
This course presents a non-technical, practical understanding of petroleum industry technology in an interesting, effective, and efficient manner. Participants are placed in the position of Reservoir Engineer, and "Our Reservoir" is defined, analyzed and put in production. Next, drill sites are chosen. Participants are then placed in the position of Drilling/Completion Engineer, and the drilling/completion program for "Our Well" is analyzed. Participation results in greater job confidence, enthusiasm and productivity.
Administrative, management, field support, accounting, purchasing, economics, legal, finance, human resources, drafting, land and data processing personnel, as well as investors and royalty owners. Participants involved at the technical level of the industry, particularly engineers, technicians or others with mathematics background through basic calculus, should register for the Basic Petroleum Engineering Practices course.
