Exploration & Production Overview - Remote training
DCOUVEP-EN-D
Who should attend?
This training aims to give a complete overview of the main activities of Exploration & Production through its global process, by going through the key stages of the valorization of a hydrocarbon field. You will discover the fundamentals and vocabulary of Exploration & Production techniques: geosciences, reservoir engineering (enhanced recovery, unconventional resources, CO2 capture and storage), drilling, completion, production, projects, decision-making process, economic aspects and patrimonial contracts.
Public :
All professionals in contact with the oil industry: directors, ministries, executives, technicians, support trades... wishing to acquire the basic knowledge of oil exploration & production techniques and the associated vocabulary in order to interact effectively with specialists in different disciplines.
Level :Awareness
Prerequisite :
No pre-requisistes are necessary to follow this course.
