Petroleum Engineering for Non Petroleum Engineers
This course introduces terminology, operations overview and addresses engineering issues ranging from initial involvement at the exploration stage to production optimization challenges in a friendly way to participant with no petroleum engineering/geology background. Relevant and practical issues are discussed to help participants to better understand their work and how it relates to others.
