INTRODUCTION

MSc. in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production

This postgraduate programme has been designed to train young professionals who are considering pursuing a career in oil and gas exploration and production. It is aimed at university graduates from geosciences and/or engineering backgrounds, who recently joined or wish to join Repsol companies that are active in this field, professionals invited by Repsol to the programme, and/or personnel from other E&P companies under a cooperation Agreement with Repsol. They should have an excellent basic technical background before joining CSFR. The education they receive during this Master Programme will help them familiarise with the necessary tools and acquire key skills that will enable them to carry out their professional activities in the most efficient way. Exploration and Production activities have a strong international character, thus the programme in Madrid is fully and exclusively taught in English. CSFR teaching staff is composed of foreign university teachers and highly qualified petroleum industry professionals, drawn mainly from Repsol. The section of the programme called Specialisation Block is taught in the Heriot‐Watt University. (Edinburgh, United Kingdom) The programme lasts ten months. It starts on September 6th, 2010 and finishes on July 8th, 2011. It is structured in four blocks as they are described below:

Basic Overview Block

Its purpose is that the students reach a basic level of knowledge in all areas involved in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production activities. The methodology used is based on the following key points: . The block is divided into one week modules, which include basic theoretical concept. . Real case studies are carried out within each module. . Students’ performance is evaluated at the end of each module.

Specialisation Block

Its purpose is to go in depth into specific areas of the disciplines involved in an E&P project (geology, geophysics, and engineering) according to the students' preferences and their previous academic qualifications. The students will be integrated into the relevant programmes which are delivered by the Heriot‐Watt University in Edinburgh (United Kingdom). Those who intend to specialize in Engineering (Production or Reservoir) will entere th MSc. in Petroleum Engineering or the MSc. in Reservoir Evaluation and Management Specialisation. Those who intend to specialize in Petroleum Geology or Geophysics will receive in‐depth training in these fields by means of programmes designed specifically for this purpose.

CENTRO SUPERIOR DE FORMACION 2 INTRODUCTION

Field Training Block

Its purpose is to observe in the Field most of the concepts learned in the previous Blocks. It involves three different areas to be covered: . Geology Field Trip (takes place during the Basic Overview Block). . Drilling Field Trip. . Production Field Trip.

Team Project Block

Its purpose is to apply the concepts learnt in the previous blocks while working in a multidisciplinary team on a project with specific objectives and within a prescribed schedule. The methodology includes: . Access to a database related to a real reservoir, which will be taken as a starting point. . Use of technologically advanced software tools. . Tutorial support provided by external consultants. . Presentation of conclusions and results by phases and then upon project completion.

Guidance on Assessment

Lecturers will discuss the format of their specific examinations. Examples of examinations questions and answers will be provided at a time considered appropriate by the lecturer.

Some modules may include assessed tutorials, for which reports are to be delivered and attendance may assessed as well. The infrastructure of the IPE allows proper delivery of reports on duty and the weight on the final mark is discretional to the lecturer.

Final exams are taken in Madrid, preceded by a study period in CSFR. External examiners approved by Heriot‐Watt University supervise that all assessment regulations are complied as if the exams were taken in Edinburgh.

TEAM PROJECT BLOCK Madrid. May ‐ June 2011

TEAM PROJECT BLOCK

Overview

Objective

The purpose of the team project is to develop and consolidate the level of knowledge acquired in class through a multidisciplinary work team. Students will use real data from a hydrocarbon field, and will establish, based on the information provided, a geologic model, build up one or more development scenarios, suggest different future exploration strategies and recommend commercial options, within a given economic context and environmental scenario. Specific project goals will be established in the Project Guide later on.

Brief description of the case

The data will be taken from Field, in which the petroleum system can be easily established. The database is extensive and complete, and covers all relevant aspects in exploration and production.

Students should reach conclusions that are not far away from reality in terms of Recoverable Reserves.

Overall characteristics

. The project lasts 3 months. . Students should familiarise themselves with the data, some of which might be in Spanish; analyse it and reach conclusions regarding the petroleum model and main parameters of the field; perform interpretations, establish drilling and development programs, design installations, make economic evaluations, propose alternatives, etc, and make a final presentation. . The database will be composed of information in magnetic support format (basically 3D Seismic and wells) and printed material, correctly classified and accessible. Since some of the data might be over 20 years old, the students should not minimise learning the applicability of old techniques and tools. They could be faced with a similar situation in their professional life. . Specialised computer technicians from Repsol will assist students with the use of an industrial software package. . Among Repsol personnel, a group of specialists will be appointed, in charge of solving specific questions. A schedule will be established for consults and visits to CSFR by these specialists. . Students will be organised into multidisciplinary teams. . The project is conceptually simple and involves the use of pre‐selected data. Students are not expected to find complex solutions, but to consolidate basic concepts and knowledge within the framework of the generally accepted principles of exploration and production.

The following is a list of the most important courses taught and tutorials assessed during the Specialisation Block.
