Course Overview
|
 |
This five-day course is designed to provide non-engineering petroleum industry technical professionals with a thorough overview of most key aspects of petroleum engineering technology and its applications. The course addresses engineering issues ranging from initial involvement with explorationists to production optimization challenges. The sessions will focus on relevant and practical issues, and will include a combination of classroom exercises and basic engineering problems. For those wishing to supplement this course with knowledge of surface facilities issues, we recommend that this course be supplemented with our existing "Introduction to Natural Gas Gathering and Processing" course.
4 CEU (Continuing Education Units) or 40 PDH (Professional Development Hours)
A complete set of course materials and lunches are included.

| Instructor(s): |
| | Roger Hough | | Roger Hough has over 42 years experience in the oilfield. Since retiring in 1999 he has been teaching industry courses on well technology and competitive technical intelligence. He also teaches drilling technology at the University of Calgary.
Roger joined Shell in 1967 after graduating with a BSc. degree in Applied Mineral Sciences from the University of Leeds in the UK. He worked for Shell International for 32 years, and served in the UK, Italy, Malta, Brunei, Oman, Netherlands, Canada, and Venezuela. His early career was focussed on Operations Engineering which principally involved well construction, whilst latterly has held the positions of Research Manager for well technology at the Shell International research centre in Rijswijk in The Netherlands, Petroleum Engineering Manager for Shell Canada, and Operations Manager for Shell Venezuela. He also served as Senior Manager responsible for intellectual property management for Shell International.
He has been active with the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) over many years, and has been Programme Chair for Offshore Europe and Europec, as well as serving on numerous other SPE committees. He was a SPE Distinguished lecturer on the topic of Slim Hole Drilling, lecturing in Europe, North America and the Far East. He recently received the SPE Distinguished Member award, which is limited to 1% of the SPE membership worldwide. He currently serves as a Board member for the Calgary section of the SPE and is a member of the SPE Continuing Education Committee.
