“This course has been like putting pieces of a puzzle together. I now feel I can communicate better with the engineers, as well as understanding the “how” and “why” of petroleum engineering.” — E. Johnson, Engineering Tech, Cimarex Energy

Course Outline• Introduction and quick review of geology behind the process • “Oil Well” video illustrating basic drilling and completion, as well

as a blow-out • Overview of on-shore drilling rigs: design considerations, pros and

cons of different systems • Overview of off-shore rigs: submersibles, floating platforms, barges,

jack-up • Directional drilling tools and techniques: identification of conditions

requiring a directional well, horizontal well productivity, and pros and cons

• Well completions: completion methods — open hole, perforating, wire wrap; discussion of oil well production equipment — casing, tubing, review of cementing practices and procedures; radial flow

• Reservoir stimulation: acidizing, hydraulic fracturing • Reservoir drive mechanisms: dissolved gas, gas cap, water and

combo drives; discussion of the impact of different drives on oil and gas production

• Improved recovery techniques: waterflooding; artificial lift options — gas lift, sucker rod pumps and electric submersible pumps

• Handling sub-surface fluids; removing water; separating liquid and gas; storing crude oil

• Well log analysis: SP and GR logs; shaliness; porosity measurement — equation calculation; density logs/sonic logs; determining saturation

Your InstructorJohn Farina is a consultant to the petroleum industry in well drilling, evaluation and completion. He spent nine years with Shell Oil Company supervising a well workover and completion group, seven years as a production manager for Sneider and Meckel Associates. He currently lectures for several major oil companies. Farina is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and a past Distinguished Lecturer for the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.

John Farina has been lecturing with The University of Tulsa’s Continuing Engineering & Science Education department for many years, and receives excellent evaluations.

“John Farina makes this course interactive and interesting through his use of video, flipcharts, & notes.” — J. Guidry, Financial Analyst, ConocoPhillips

Seminar ObjectivesTo provide nontechnical support personnel an overview of the exploration/production process. To arm them with the terminology associated with these procedures and practices that will increase their understanding of the process and facilitate communication between them and the engineers and geologists they work with.

Who Should Attend?Nontechnical personnel working with and supporting engineers and geologists in the exploration/production process, such as geotechs, engineering assistants, landmen, technical clerks, etc. Plus, anyone needing or wanting an overview of petroleum engineering will find this seminar beneficial.

You Will Learn . . . • The requirements for an exploration project• Tools, practices and terminology associated with drilling a

well• Current offshore drilling equipment and practices• Application of directional and horizontal drilling• How openhole logs and cores are used to evaluate a well• Completion practices, including hydraulic fracture

stimulation• How oil is produced from a well with artificial lift• About surface equipment used to gather, process and store

produced fluids

Petroleum Engineering For Non-Engineers• Would you like to receive an overview of petro-

leum engineering in an understandable way?

• Would you like to be able to communicate

better with the petroleum engineers and

geologist you work with?

• Would you like to better understand the

exploration and production process?

• If you answered YES to just one of these

questions . . . this seminar is for you!
