    Petroleum Technology

    This course will present a practical understanding of the petroleum technology industry in an interesting, effective, and efficient manner.  Topics that will be covered during this course include the basics of the industry from terminology through technology and from geology through surface processing of the petroleum product. 

    Participants will be placed in the position of Reservoir Engineer and “Our Reservoir” will be defined, analyzed, and put in production.  Next, drill sites will be chosen.  Participants will then be placed in the position of Drilling and Completion Engineer and the drilling and completion program for “Our Well” will be analyzed.  Its purpose will be to develop in the participants an understanding of the technology and its applications and give them the confidence, professional enthusiasm, and, therefore, the productivity which comes with that understanding. 

    Note: PETROLEUM TECHNOLOGY primarily presents the same materials as PETROLEUM ENGINEERING PRACTICES, except in lesser mathematical and technical detail.  This course is used to better accommodate course participants’ backgrounds and requirements for their positions and responsibilities in the industry.  Therefore, in general, statements for this course are repeated from the PETROLEUM ENGINEERING PRACTICES course.

    Management, administrative, secretarial, field support, accounting, information technology (IT) and data processing, maintenance, purchasing, economics, legal, finance, government, human resources, drafting, and land personnel, as well as investors and royalty owners.

    Participants will need to have a working knowledge of mathematics through Algebra.
