      • Average client rating (based on 26 attendee reviews)

    This is a Remote Instructor Led Series (RILS) training. The remote classroom delivery is a modality that takes advantage of the instructor led training content, while allowing the same content to be delivered remotely. All training sessions will be delivered online with no face-to-face classroom attendance.

    A profitable development of an oil or gas field starts with a good understanding of the subsurface. As part of a PE team the development geologist interprets subsurface data and provides geological models that form the basis for development planning.

    During this course the “development life cycle” starting with the gathering of geological data, the interpretation thereof, the preparation of geological models and the quantification of subsurface uncertainty are discussed. The development geologist is equipped with the skills to construct these models. Attention is given to the impact on field operations and on field management during its entire lifecycle.

    In addition to the ones quoted in the course schedule (relating to the Robin Field) dedicated exercises are included throughout the course to ensure participants understand the concepts discussed.

    Options: this course can be tailored to pure clastic or pure carbonate reservoirs on Client’s request.

    The Development Geology - RILS course will be delivered over five(5) 3-hours sessions.

    They will be able to calculate subsurface volumes and assess their uncertainties.

    They will learn how to prepare a well proposal.

    They will be able to plan appraisal wells and assess their economic value.

    They will acquire practical experience by working on an actual field study in teams.

    Better understand their own role in the development life-cycle

    Engineers, Geologists, Geophysicists and all those involved in reservoir appraisal and development projects

    • Introduction & Course Overview, The energy business, development projects, subsurface data
    • Subsurface Models, Input Data and Concepts
    • Measurements and Evaluation of Subsurface Data
    • Subsurface Development Options
    • Field Operations and Development


    At the end of the course participants should be able to:

    • apply geological concepts, construct maps and sections and validate computer-generated interpretations;
    • calculate subsurface volumes and assess their uncertainties.

    The participants will learn how to prepare a well proposal, plan appraisal wells and assess their economic value. They will acquire practical experience by working on an actual field study in teams and a better understanding of their own role in the development life-cycle.


    Participants need a basic understanding of Reservoir/Petroleum Geology and preferably some 2 – 4 years experience.
