Training Certificate

Prolific Consultants FZE Certificate of Course Completion will be issued to all attendees.

Course Introduction

• Oil Exploration: Identifying locations with potential oil reserves using surveys and seismic studies.
• Drilling: Boring holes into the Earth to extract oil from identified reservoirs.
• Artificial Lifting: Using techniques like pumps or gas injection to bring oil to the surface when natural pressure isn’t enough.

Course Objective

• Oil Exploration: To identify and assess potential oil reserves, ensuring optimal locations for drilling.
• Drilling: To access and extract oil from beneath the Earth's surface in a cost-effective and safe manner.
• Artificial Lifting: To maintain or enhance oil flow when natural reservoir pressure is insufficient, ensuring continuous production.

Suitable For

This course is designed for Oil filed Technologists, project managers, plant managers, plant supervisors, Production Supervisors, technical staff, Operators and Technicians and contractor personnel involved in the production of oil and natural gas. The greatest benefit arises from discussing the underlying principles of the various processes and the cause of the common operating problems. You will also be able to see which processes are available to you to de-bottleneck or modify existing processes. The practical techniques and examples provide useful insights that are valuable in daily operations. Participants are encouraged to introduce any operating problems they have encountered for group discussion.

Training Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lecture and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge and experience transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody finding the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their own questions and to share developing the right answers using their own analysis and experience.

All presentations are made in excellent colorful power point. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
