Spring semester

1. Oil and gas exploration, play and prospect analysis, hydrocarbon projections, land and marine science and research portfolio
2. Research-production project, concession, mining royalties
3. Surface exploration phase, geological mapping, remote sensing, surface geophysics (gravity, magnetic, electrical, seismic) methods integrated, goal-oriented application: field measurement, data processing, evaluation, hydrocarbon geological interpretation
4. Leads and prospects, identification of probable reserves, probability distribution, analysis of the conditions required for hydrocarbon accumulation, determination of risk, economic evaluation (cash flow, net present value, internal rate of return, investment profit rate, the expected net present value)
5. Drill site planning, geotechnical design of drilling, drilling tenders, drilling on land and at sea, well-site geology, sampling daily drilling report, final report
6. Deep drilling geophysical studies, water well drilling, processing well data, petrophysical interpretation
7. Laboratory testing, reservoir scale seismic (3D / 4D tomographic measurements, seismic attribute analysis).
8. Static storage model structure. Asset and inventory calculation, categorization.
9. Fluid flow in the wells, plant types. Dynamic reservoir models and planning cultivation, production lines, maximizing business value. Investments.
10. Area, production planning drilling, drilled, investigation, well completion, production geophysical measurements.
11. Production methods of production quotas, oil plants, extraction of natural gas fields, alternative production scenarios.
12. Economic and environmental issues, analysis of past production, the use of performance enhancers procedures, pressing water, gas back pressure, EOR, horizontal drilling, and field reclamation.
