Geology
for Non-Geologists
By: Bayo Akinpelu,
5 days
Business context
Geology and geological terminologies and jargons constitute the
business language of the upstream petroleum industry particularly at
the negotiation and early stages of discovery and development of
petroleum.
Several other professionals have to grapple through the meaning and
context of each jargon they have to put in place in agreements,
correspondences and reports. There are others who need to understand
geological processes and methodology to better do their work as
regulators and public officers.
Who should attend
Accountants, Lawyers, Production Technicians, Drilling and Facilities
Engineers, Computer Analysts, Information Technology Specialists, Human
Resources Representatives and Managers, Public Affairs Representatives
and Managers.
Content of the program
- Elements of Petroleum Geology
- The Oil Machine Concept: How Oil is Found - the
Oil Detective at Work
- The Exploration, Appraisal, Delineation and
other Development Well Types
- Drilling Technology and Processes
- Well Logging, Formation Testing and Well-site
Operations
- Field Development and Reservoir Management
- Concession Types and Various Contract
Arrangements in Nigeria
- Fiscal Regimes and the Laws that control
Petroleum Exploration and Production
Learning Methods and tools
The course is designed to educate
and inform participants on various technical aspects of the industry
they operate in. It is essentially interactive and laced with class
discussion and break-out sessions.

limitations and the required improvement.
Who should attend
Accountants,
Lawyers, Production Technicians, Drilling and Facilities Engineers,
Computer Analysts, Information Technology Specialists, Human Resources
Representatives and Managers, Public Affairs Representatives and
Managers.
Content of the program
- Principles and types of seismic data acquisition
- The techniques of seismic data acquisition and
objectives
- The Prelude and Processes involved in seismic
data acquisition
- The Permitting, Community Affairs and
Development programme
- Transportation, Logistics, Camping and
Employment
- The sections and steps involved in seismic data
acquisition
- Employment, Inductions, HSE Planning and
implementations
- The Recording Instruments and Ancillaries,
Tests and Checks
- Prestart and onsite seismic data quality
assurance and control measures
- Post seismic data acquisition environmental
restoration measures
Learning methods and tools
The course
is designed to acquaint participants of the processes involved in
seismic data acquisition and the various techniques deployed due to
technical, operational, cost and environmental constraints. It is
essentially interactive and illustrated with onsite pictorial examples
and occasional break-out sessions.

High
Resolution Biostratigraphy
By: Olajide Lawal
Business context
An increasingly indispensable tool for age-dating
and correlation of source and reservoir rocks in petroleum systems
world wide. The course, however, places greater emphasis on
applications at field and reservoir scale for better understanding of
reservoir architecture and heterogeneity as well as providing a
framework for constraining other subsurface tools like well-logs and 3D
seismic. The course is designed to take participants from the basics to
latest developments in quantitative biostratigraphy.
Who should attend
Geologists, sedimentologists, micropaleontologists
working in exploration as well as services companies.
Content of the program
- Fundamentals of biostratigraphy
- Major microfossil groups studied in
biostratigraphy
- Sample processing techniques
- Concept of biozonation and types of zones
- Biostratigraphy in petroleum exploration and
production
- Well-site biostratigraphy
- High resolution biostratigraphy in exploration
- Niger Delta high resolution biostratigraphy
- High resolution biostratigraphy in production
- Quantitative biostratigraphy and graphic
correlation
- Graphic correlation methodology
- High resolution biostratigraphy in sequence
stratigraphy
- Case studies and future trends
Learning methods and tools
At the end of this course, participants would have
refreshed the basic principles underlying their practice. More
importantly, they would have a much better understanding of their
pivotal role in petroleum exploration and their potential for enhanced
petroleum production through optimum ‘sweeping’ of hydrocarbon
reservoirs. They would also better appreciate their central role in
sequence stratigraphic interpretation.

Core
Analysis & Description
By: Dr. F.A. Njoku, 5 days
Business context
The core sample represents the internal anatomy of
the reservoir. When core samples are obtained through a
properly-planned core recovery program, subjected to well-site core
stabilization & handling, as well as careful transportation to
the laboratory, and analyzed appropriately, they can give rise to
reliable data, obtainable by no other known means, for integrated
reservoir characterization/description for application to petrophysics
and reservoir engineering calculations.
Who should attend
Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists,
Production/Development Geologists, Reservoir Engineers, Production
Engineers, EOR Engineers, Research Geoscientists/Engineers and
Simulation Engineers.
