Course Content

  • RESERVOIR ENGINEERING & FIELD DEVELOPMENT FUNDAMENTALS (IFP Training)

      • Production geology.
      • Petrophysics: rock properties (porosity, saturation, permeability) and their interactions with fluids.

Learning Objectives

  • Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
  • discuss the workflow for developing and managing Oil & Gas fields,
  • discuss and apply best practices for developing and managing Oil & Gas fields through hands-on workshops and case studies,
  • maximize value creation of Oil & Gas assets by optimizing technical and economic resources while taking into account uncertainties.

Ways & Means
