Course Introduction

Petroleum engineering plays a critical role in the oil and gas industry, providing essential technology to ensure a consistent supply of crude oil and natural gas. This field encompasses both technical and non-technical activities. For non-technical staff, understanding the fundamentals of petroleum engineering can significantly enhance productivity.

This course is designed to offer non-technical personnel a comprehensive overview of petroleum engineering concepts and practices. It adopts a holistic approach, covering everything from initial oil exploration to methods for increasing oil production and maximizing recovery. Additionally, the course addresses the entire life cycle of an oil field and introduces basic petroleum economics. Participants will also explore current and future challenges facing the oil industry.

Participants will gain insights into the following key areas:

 

  • Fundamentals of Petroleum Engineering
  • Importance of Petroleum Engineering in the Oil Industry
  • Main Components of Petroleum Engineering
  • Petroleum Geology and Drilling Processes
  • Basics of Reservoir Engineering
  • Initial Hydrocarbon Quantities and Recovery Techniques
  • Reservoir Life Cycle
  • Production Optimization Strategies
  • Essentials of Petroleum Economics
  • Current and Emerging Challenges in the Oil Industry

Training Methodology:

The course employs a blend of technical presentations, interactive discussions, and practical examples supported by video materials. This approach ensures that participants will effectively apply their new knowledge.
