back to 6000 B.C. The art shows the area as green
and luscious, not the dry and hot desert it is today.

Message from the Managing Director
The big crew change marches on, and critical to success is the application of knowledge to
daily challenges and tasks. Applying the right knowledge at the right time at the project/task
level is critical. The launch of PetroCore enables users to access PetroSkills knowledge on-
line, 24/7, anywhere in the world.
Check out the information on the inside back cover of this training guide, and at www.

ing the way professionals find and apply knowledge in our on-demand industry. PetroCore,
combined with our increasing offering of virtual courses, represents a powerful enhancement
to the PetroSkills learning and development model.

SO WHAT IS PETROSKILLS?
The differentiator... industry-driven competency maps.

Its all in the maps. Its easy to talk about developing the
competency of employees, but what does that really mean? How
do you establish that baseline for competency
development? PetroSkills addresses this question with detailed
competency maps. These maps dene non-unique, but
necessary job skills at skill levels ranging from awareness to
mastery. These competency maps represent the shared
viewpoint of PetroSkills Alliance contributors. It is not
PetroSkills telling the industry whats important its the
industry guiding PetroSkills.

A foundation of competency-based learning and development.
PetroSkills course content is based on the competency maps developed with
+|J |] || |||| c|p+||. E1|] J||p||| |+ |+||] Jl|J ||||

receive the skills they need at their individual level and put them on the right
track for advancement.

ABOUT THE COURSE
This course is far more than an introduction to petroleum
engineering and certainly is not a superficial presentation of
the technology of the industry. Its purpose is to develop an
understanding of the technology and its applications at an
|||| |1|, +|J || c|||J| +|J p|c||c|+|
enthusiasm which comes with that understanding. The
course has had a revolutionary effect on training programs
for many major oil and service companies by making
specialized training that follows far more effective.
Participants enter those specialized programs with a depth of
understanding of that particular technology and relation to
other classic and new technologies of the industry. The
course focuses on the field and application approach, and
includes classroom exercises, fundamental engineering
problems, and basic field exercises.

COURSE LEVEL: BASIC
DESI GNED FOR
Technical, field, service, support and supervisory personnel
desiring to gain an introductory overview of these topics and how
they interrelate. Excellent for cross-training of other technical
disciplines such as reservoir and surface facility engineers plus
geoscientists, and anyone who interacts with drilling, completion
or workover design engineers such as technical supervisors and
technical service personnel.
This is not a fundamental course for training engineers seeking a
career in drilling or workovers (for these, PO1 is recommended).

conversant with specific technical terminology and aware of practical
applications, which should enhance communication and interaction
between disciplines.

their interpretations in a safe, constructive learning
environment. Other skills will be learned in short hands-on
exercises that reinforce the lectures. Lecturers are widely-
experienced oil field professionals who can share
experiences from a number of technical settings and
organizational approaches to give the participants a broad
view of the industry and its participants.
The extended workshops conducted during the course
include an exploration/discovery workshop, an appraisal
workshop to define the static and dynamic models for a new
discovery and a facilities workshop in which the participants
fit the facilities to their newly-defined discovery.
Uncertainties, risk management, business practices and
project management lessons are learned through these team
events.
One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for
each two participants.

circulation, and well bore hydraulics. Some technology
enhancements are included to improve understanding of
drilling operations for all participants, with or without a
science background. An understanding of clay mineralogy
helps understand well bore instability and drilling fluids. A
discussion of pressure and pressure effects helps explain
many of the procedures and problems associated with
drilling wells. Rocks behave differently under pressure and
understanding this behavior helps understand drilling
performance. The art and science of drilling are explained in
simple terms. After all of the various components and
procedures are discussed, the information contained in
morning reports is explained and used as a summary of the
course content.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Cementing is a key factor in the well construction plan. The
base cement used in the designing of cement slurries may or
may not be API class cement. The operating company and
the service company personnel should have a good working
knowledge of cement slurry design, cement additives, and
placement procedures. The majority of the operating
companies do not have cement testing laboratories, therefore
the laboratory testing is conducted by service companies.
This course is designed to give a good understanding of
how the cement slurries are tested and under what
conditions depending on given well parameters. This course

ABOUT THE COURSE
Cementing is a very important phase of the well construction
plan. Operating company personnel must have a good
working knowledge of cements, cementing additives and
placement procedures. The use of temperature modeling,
computer programs used for job design, and placement of
the cement has caused some operating companies to retain a
cement service company representative on a full time basis
to assist in the overall cementing operations. The operator is
critical to the success of the job. This course covers the
importance being placed on the cement sheath integrity

properties of the set cement be obtained other than the
compressive strength. The parameters that the cement

number of joint industry projects addressing this area of
work. The course covers the use of cement formulations,

deliver a cost-effective well plan while also gaining valuable
perspective on how the overall process should be managed
in a dynamic team environment. The workshop content is
often customized to address technologies and practices that
may be specific to a project or operational situation. The
course delivery is carefully balanced to integrate technical
lectures and group discussion with roughly half of each day
allotted for the teams to apply what they have learned on the
project well design.
The single most important goal of the workshop is to draw
the linkages between the design topics and to leave the
participants with an understanding that each decision has
influence on those that follow. Intensity mounts as the course
progresses and each design topic builds on those that came
||c|. || |||+||c| +| c||c||] |(u||J, p|+||]
as the course progresses and seemingly unrelated decisions
push the teams into situations of uncomfortable operational
risk. On the last day, each team presents their completed
design before the class and an invited panel of industry
professionals.
A scientific calculator is required and a laptop computer is strongly
recommended.

enough attention is paid to the details of well stimulation
treatments. This can result in poor and / or less than
optimum results. Those involved in the planning, execution,
and evaluation of stimulation treatments need to have the
background and training in the basics so better decisions
can be made resulting in more gas down the line or oil in the
tank! This practical course is designed for those involved in
all aspects of well stimulation. To be better able to make
decisions it is important to have a basic understanding of the
types of formations and basic reservoir properties with which
we deal. For this reason, time is spent in the early portion of
the course setting the geological and reservoir property

monitoring pressures, and other critical parameters, during
and after the treatment. An important part of the course is
class teamwork whereby the attendees divide into teams to
evaluate and design stimulation treatments. These exercises
bring out many important parameters discussed during the
course.

ABOUT THE COURSE
This course blends lecture, hands-on exercises, and seminar
teaching styles to enhance learning. Participants work with
software that allows them to design and analyze artificial lift
designs, which should improve performance and result in
higher production rates and/or reduced operating costs.
Participants learn how to design and troubleshoot rod
pumping, continuous gas lift, and electric submersible pump
systems. Other methods such as PCP, plunger lift, jet pump,
hydraulic pump, and intermittent gas lift will also be
addressed. Participants gain experience in solving problems
by hand and also by using advanced computer programs.
Troubleshooting is an important part of artificial lift
operations and several typical surveillance problems are
solved. The class includes pictures and videos of the most

ABOUT THE COURSE
Although acidizing is the oldest method of well stimulation,
it is often applied with mixed results. It remains, however, a
valuable tool for improving well productivity. The key to
acidizing success is in the understanding of how it works,
the optimum conditions for its application, and proper
evaluation of well response after the acidizing treatment. The
instructor will present many of the practical aspects of
acidizing applications and help provide a better
understanding of acidizing as a tool for enhancing well
performance.

prevented, removed economically, or must be accepted as
the price for drilling and producing a well will depend upon
many factors. Concerns for formation damage have been
with our industry from the early days. These concerns
become more prevalent as we embark on more challenging
reservoirs utilizing even more challenging drilling,
completion and production methods. Additional concerns
relate to the common lost production or injectivity following
workovers in these challenging environments.
These subjects and many more are addressed in this fast-
paced, informative course covering all aspects of formation

ABOUT THE COURSE
Progressing Cavity Pump technology is the fastest evolving artificial
lift technology in our industry. PCPs are highly efficient, have a
higher tolerance to sand or solids than most other lift methods and
are relatively inexpensive to install and operate. PCPs can now pump
at rates in excess of 4000 bfpd, operate in high temperature

ABOUT THE COURSE
Production logging refers to a suite of logs that are
normally run on completed injection or production wells to
evaluate the performance of the well itself or of the reservoir
as a whole. Other production logs can evaluate the well
completion or look behind pipe to evaluate the formation and
its fluids in the near-well vicinity. Production logs are
playing an increasing role in modern reservoir management
by providing the only means of identifying downhole fluid
movements directly. This course will cover fluid flow in pipes

ABOUT THE COURSE
For every barrel of oil produced we produce 5 barrels of
water. Water handling, treatment and disposal represent the
biggest operating cost for most oilfield operators. In many
unconventional gas plays, frac water and produced water
needs to be recycled to conserve groundwater and minimize
subsurface injection. The economic success of oil and gas
development projects depends very much on our ability to
successfully manage water. This course discusses methods,

which allow beneficial re-use of produced water/frac water
are presented. The impact of the growth of thermal fractures
and fractures driven by particle plugging on injector
performance are discussed. Significant cost savings can be
achieved in all aspects of water production, handling and
disposal through better diagnostic tools, better water
handling and better treatment, reuse and re-injection
strategies. The course covers the fundamental theory, and
the latest technological developments. It particularly
emphasizes field application through lots of practical field
examples, exercises and case studies.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Waterflooding has long been proven as the simplest and the
lowest cost approach to maintaining production and
|||+|| c|| |c1|] ||c| +| c|| ||1c||. |cW1|, ||
benefits may fall far short of the expectations unless the
time-tested concepts and practices are clearly understood
and judiciously implemented. These concepts and practices
aim at process optimization -reducing production cost while
minimizing waste and maximizing oil recovery and income.
This course is light on theory but heavy on proven and
successful practices. Published case histories of projects
around the world are reviewed to provide an understanding
of divergent points-of-view, what works where, what fails
when, and why.
This training covers all elements of a waterflood project from
A |c / ||c| cu| W+|| |||c| |c p|cJuJ W+||
disposal and everything in between. Participants are grouped
into small multi-disciplinary teams. All classroom
discussions and problem-solving sessions are handled in an
asset-management team format. Simulation studies are done
in class to evaluate basic waterflooding physics as well as to
optimize the development of a hypothetical field.

ABOUT THE COURSE
The course provides detailed knowledge of how capillarity
affects hydrocarbon distribution in a reservoir rock, and how
the magnitude of capillary forces can be used to deduce
valuable information about rock properties including pore
throat sizes, pore network geometry, porosity, and
permeability. Several in-class exercises reinforce the course
learnings and provide participants with experience using
capillary pressure data for reservoir characterization.

ABOUT THE COURSE
As the oil companies define business units and asset teams,
it is becoming increasingly important that all the team
members understand the workflow in developing integrated
reservoir description for that asset. A proper development of
reservoir description is helpful in managing daily operations
of the asset, as well as long term planning. Integration
involves using all the available information about the
reservoir to develop better understanding of the reservoir.
l|| p|c | |||||||] ||||J||p|||+|] +|J |(u||
understanding of all the disciplines. Although soft skills are
important in working in an interdisciplinary team, this course

reservoir description.
Starting with collecting information and assessing the need
for additional data, the course will cover all the topics from
structural and geological modeling, estimation of reservoir
petrophysical properties using geostatistical tools, up-
scaling to simulator model and finally, proper history
matching and future predictions in the presence of
uncertainties. This course is important to reservoir modelers
involved in any phase of the description work. This is
intended to expose various geoscientists and engineers to
the entire process of integrated reservoir description and the
geostatistical tools that can be used to achieve the goals.
The course will develop improved appreciation of the other

ABOUT THE COURSE
The course is designed to give an introduction to the
fundamental and practical aspects of modern reservoir
simulation. Particular emphasis is placed upon the available
data and its integration into a data set that reflects a
coherent model of the reservoir. These aspects are
reinforced with small practical examples run by groups of the
course participants. The course is organized in morning
lecture sessions and afternoon practical sessions.

ABOUT THE COURSE
The use of streamline technology is becoming common for reservoir
flow visualization, dynamic reservoir characterization and optimal
flood management. The power of the streamlines can be exploited
using both finite-difference and streamline simulators. This course is
designed to cover introductory and advanced concepts in streamline
technology and its applications for reservoir characterization, reservoir
management/optimization and field development strategy. This course
is not limited to streamline simulation but exposes the power of
streamlines in general. The course will involve a combination of
theoretical discussion, practical applications and computer exercises
to provide hands-on training on the methods that can later be applied
using any commercial streamline simulation software.

ABOUT THE COURSE
On average nearly two-thirds of the original oil in place remains after
reservoir abandonment following secondary recovery. The low oil
recovery is primarily the result of reservoir heterogeneity, unfavorable
fluid and rock properties, poor waterflood management, and cost
considerations. This leaves a significant target for enhanced oil

hydrocarbon or nonhydrocarbon components into oil reservoirs that
have typically been waterflooded to residual oil. Injected components
are usually gases at atmospheric temperature and pressure and may
include mixtures of hydrocarbons from methane to propane, and also
carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and even hydrogen sulfide.
The key to successful gas flooding is to contact as much of the
reservoir with the gas as possible and to recover all of the oil once
contacted. Injected gases must be designed to be miscible with the
oil so that oil previously trapped by capillary forces is transferred into
a more mobile phase that flows easily to the production well. Flow is
ideally piston-like in that whatever gas volume is injected displaces
+| +pp|c/||+||] (u+| 1c|u| c| ||1c|| ||u|J. u||c||u|+||],
miscibility is not always possible and reservoir heterogeneities can
cause gas to cycle through one or more layers, which results in poor
recovery efficiency. A proper gas flood design will consider both the
displacement and sweep efficiency that result and the profitability of
that process.
This course gives a comprehensive understanding of immiscible gas
and compositionally enhanced recovery processes and the important
variables that influence the gas flooding process. The course contains
both theoretical and practical material so that an engineer can apply

Geological factors bear directly on and usually control
engineering activities such as drilling, logging, testing,
completion, development, and production, as well as all
financial decisions associated with development. This Course
assumes the participant has some understanding of
elementary geology, but it will provide a review of key
geological principles and environments of deposition, all
keyed to focus on the practical impact of geological models
and uncertainty on appraisal and development. Without a
common understanding between geologists and engineers,
there can be no real interdisciplinary communication or
teamwork in reservoir development and production activities.

ABOUT THE COURSE
At the end of the integrated course participants will be able to
contribute effectively to the preparation of planned wells and
their concurrent operations during the exploration, appraisal
and development phase. As geoscientists, petroleum
engineers, well engineers and production technologists are
increasingly assembled in asset, project or operational teams
they must not only understand each other in technical
matters, but should also contribute to each others efforts in
these aspects: a driller should know why it is important to
cut a core or log a particular interval despite potential drilling
problems and geoscientists should understand drilling
operations and their inherent hazards and problems. All
should be able to understand and prepare daily drilling
reports with a full appreciation of the various subjects.
Cuttings, cores, logs and well tests should be analyzed,
cross-correlated and compiled to mesh with prognoses and
existing data to effectively manage the impact on the field
development plan. Correct procedures in tendering and
contracting should be followed to minimize the duration of
