From the history of fossil fuels to where we are today in the oil and gas industry (and where the future is leading us), this course provides an overall perspective of the petroleum lifecycle and industry.

By learning the fundamentals and language of petroleum exploration, drilling and production; participants become more efficient and perform their job better.

“I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed Kristie’s class – she did a great job of balancing details with overall process. I enjoyed listening to her and found myself dreading the end of the course. Not something I can say with many training classes!” – Dana R., Sr. Land Tech, SM Energy

Participants will gain a deeper proficiency of the roles and responsibilities of the many team members within their companies. With each lesson, they will learn how all jobs, including their own, are necessary to increase the bottom line of their company, which translates to adding reserves and making a profit.

Participants will walk away understanding how all aspects of the petroleum industry fit together…from upstream to downstream, including the essential tools of both conventional and unconventional exploration, production and development.

By understanding and applying the concepts and tools presented in this program, the participant will have more confidence and become a more productive professional.

Lectures are enhanced with exercises on well log correlations, subsurface map interpretations, economic analysis and deal structure assessments; plus the “GeoJeopardy” game reinforces the skill sets discussed.

“The instructor took a potentially very dry, boring subject and turned it into a fun learning experience.”
“Very thorough, informative, interesting. Very knowledgeable teacher who is excited about petroleum and geology.”
“Fast-paced crash course of the oil industry. The class was the next best thing to learning on an oil rig in the field.”
