About the Course

The aim of the course is to provide an appreciation of some fundamental Petroleum Engineering concepts. You will become familiar with fundamental petroleum engineering principles and get a broad understanding of reservoir fluid physical properties. You will get an understanding of the steps involved in the design, construction and evaluation of a typical well. The importance of safety and environmental issues will be stressed.

Duration

The course is normally of 2 days duration.

Who Should Attend

Graduate Engineers, Non Technical Staff, Technicians.

You Will Learn
