Upstream Petroleum Industry

Program Description

This excellent multidisciplinary program is a great choice for those who would like to increase their working knowledge of all of the technical aspects of the oil and gas industry. Those already in the industry and students from ancillary industries can increase their technical understanding of the very dynamic energy business. Participants new to the industry can expect to be well prepared for many of the administrative and support level technical positions that are in high demand today with energy companies. This is not just an overview program; it will teach students the basics of geology, geophysics, drilling, well evaluations, completions and production operations.
