Affiliate Industry Members

Do you find yourself often working with oil and gas companies? Hard to understand their lingo? Trying to find that perfect next move to get your business into the oilfield industry? This course will be a great first step for you!

The Foundation

This chapter introduces the you to energy and related hydrocarbon production. It continues to explore why oil & gas is needed, the divisions of our industry (upstream, midstream, and downstream), and reviews key deciding factors embedded into our industry. You will also learn about the basics of hydrocarbon generation and the differences between conventional and unconventional resources.

Preparing to Drill

In this section, you will learn about the process of locating and assessing potential reserves, acquiring leases, and selecting where to drill. You will also be introduced to the concept of thermal maturity and its relation to shale development. Furthermore, you will learn about the parameters of designing a well and some of the requirements to permit a well and build the wellpad.

Drilling

In this section, you will learn about all the basics of drilling including parts of a rig, downhole tools, directional drilling, casing and cementing, and of course the overall sequential process. Furthermore, you will learn about important safety measures and will gain a basic understanding of well control.

Preparing to Complete the Well

In this section, you will learn about the important preparations which must be made before the completions procedure can commence. This section includes cellar (surface) prep, toe (well) prep, and preparations for the water system.

Completions

In this section, you will gain an understanding of why wells need to be “completed” and will examine common methods of completion such as perf and plug with hydraulic fracturing. This section will review the process of fracing in detail and will also cover the necessity of plug drillout (when applicable).

Production of the Well

In this section, you will gain an understanding of how the well is then brought “online” and what is done throughout the well’s life to ensure that it is producing to its maximum or at the level desired by the operator. This will include the discussion of flowback, wellhead functions, production equipment, natural decline of production, artificial lift, and brine disposal.

Up-to-date content

Our course is designed with a large focus on the U.S. shale plays' upstream operations, as this is the part of the industry most likely to affect you. With our experience in multiple basins, you can be assured that our material will be comprehensive, yet basic. It will provide a great platform for you to continue your work with (or around) the oil & gas industry. Once you have the basics down, then check out the rest of the content on our site in order to dive a little deeper.
