Basic Petroleum Engineering
Duration: 5 DaysFoundations for Oil & Gas Professionals Target Audience: Entry-Level Engineers, Geoscientists, Technical Support Staff, Non-Engineering Professionals in Oil & Gas Delivery Mode: Classroom / Virtual with Practical Exercises, Calculations, and Case Studies Level: Foundation Course OverviewThis introductory course provides participants with a broad overview of petroleum engineering principles, covering the life cycle of oil and gas fields from exploration through production. Key topics include reservoir engineering basics, drilling fundamentals, production systems, surface facilities, and field development planning.Day-by-Day OutlineDay 1 – Introduction to Petroleum Industry & Reservoir Engineering- Overview of upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors- Hydrocarbon formation and reservoir types - Porosity, permeability, and fluid properties - Basic volumetric reserve estimation - Exercise: Calculate hydrocarbons in place for a simple reservoir Day 2 – Drilling Engineering Fundamentals- Drilling rig components and functions- Well design basics: casing, cementing, drilling fluids - Drilling operations sequence - Introduction to directional drilling - Workshop: Plan a simple vertical well design Day 3 – Production Technology Basics- Well completions: open hole vs. cased hole- Artificial lift systems overview - Introduction to inflow and outflow performance - Basic nodal analysis concepts - Exercise: Sketch production profiles for wells with different lift methods Day 4 – Surface Production Facilities- Separation, dehydration, and stabilization basics- Oil and gas measurement and metering - Produced water treatment and disposal - Overview of surface equipment layout and process flow diagrams (PFDs) - Workshop: Develop a simplified surface facility process flow Day 5 – Field Development Planning & Integration- Lifecycle of oil & gas fields: exploration to abandonment- Reserves classification basics (SPE PRMS) - Field development plan components - Economics overview: costs, revenues, break-even - Capstone Project: Draft a basic development plan for a discovered field Expected Learning Outcomes
Tailored content for local geology (e.g. Nile Delta, Western Desert) Lab visit or simulation hands-on demo Integration with economics or production courses Special Customization for Regional NOCs - Includes legal and fiscal case examples from MENA (Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Algeria) - Arabic-English bilingual delivery available - Tailored licensing round simulation exercises - Optional site visits to local oilfields or regulatory agencies Trainer Profile - Senior reservoir and exploration engineers from IOCs and NOCs - Former advisors to government ministries - Experts in petroleum contracts and economic modeling Certification Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion and a performance report including assessment outcomes and instructor feedback.
