2018-19 Reservoir Engineering Training Guide Reservoir Engineering Course Progression Matrix 2018-19 Reservoir Engineering Training Guide Reservoir Engineering Course Progression Matrix The Course Progression Matrix below shows how the Reservoir Engineering courses in this section are structured within each topic, from Basic to Specialized. On either side of the Reservoir Engineering section, you will see courses in associated disciplines for cross-training. These matrices are ideal for building training plans for early-career staff or finding the right course to build upon existing knowledge and experience. Basic Reservoir Engineering – BR leads off the section as a perfect basic overview for anyone working with reservoir definition, development, or production. The next course, Applied Reservoir Engineering – RE on page 2, represents the core of our reservoir engineering program and the foundation for all future studies in this subject. The following instructors have been selected and approved by the PetroSkills Curriculum Network: MR. JEFF ALDRICH MR. GREG ERNSTER MR. TIMOTHY HOWER MR. DavID PATRICK MURPHY DR. GEORGE SLATER DR.

  • Model Petroleum Engineering Curriculum
    The SPE Model Petroleum Engineering Curriculum – What it is and what it isn’t The model petroleum engineering curriculum is intended as an aid to universities worldwide that want to start new petroleum engineering programs. It is not intended to be a “standard” curriculum, in that no petroleum engineering curriculum would have all of the course listed here. Any petroleum engineering curriculum should educate students in fundamental mathematics and science, humanities and liberal arts, engineering science, and the foundational course in petroleum engineering. Most curricula will include some more specialized petroleum engineering courses, like those listed in the model curriculum as petroleum engineering electives. No Bachelor’s of Science level degree program could include all of the courses shown in the elective list. The SPE model curriculum includes all of the educational areas needed to create a specific petroleum engineering curriculum. Every petroleum engineering curriculum in the world is unique, none are exactly the same. Many countries or regions have course requirements that do not appear anywhere else in the world. In the United States, there are significant variations in curricula, with some programs having emphases on particular areas of petroleum engineering that are different from other programs. This model curriculum can be used to construct a unique degree program for new programs, with the particular courses included based on the particular needs of that university, or that country.

  • Integrated Reservoir Interpretation- Disk 2
    Integrated Reservoir Interpretation Reservoir management, integrated data interpretation, multidisciplinary asset teams, synergy—these are the buzzwords of modern reservoir engineering. They point to the efficient use of all types of data to better understand reservoirs and to ultimately produce more hydrocarbon less expensively. But is vision outpacing the tools available? We describe how better reservoir understanding is being achieved in practice.
