  • Match a PVT model.

Ways & Means

  • Interactive courses and exercises.
  • Hands-on practices using dedicated modeling software BEST™ or PVTi™ or PVTFlow™.
  • Mini-project.
  • Software used during workshops: with courtesy of Beicip-Franlab and Schlumberger.

Learning assessment

  • Knowledge assessment with multiple choice questions and open explanatory questions.
