AAPG short courses offer a wealth of information in a short period of time. They are an effective and efficient way to learn about the industry. With so many to choose from, there’s something for everyone.
This one-day class provides an overview of portfolio management, reserve and resource reporting and methods and best practices for assessing and risking reserves and resources. The course objective is to provide interpreters and managers with the knowledge needed to evaluate resources and reserves, minimize bias in defining uncertainty and risk so that they have a better chance of building a profitable portfolio of opportunities. Instructor Bob Shoup Bob Shoup is the Chief Geologist for Subsurface Consulting &Associates LLC (SCA) and Director of Clastic Reservoir Systems. He is a Board Certified Petroleum Geologist with over 40 years’ experience in basin analysis, regional studies, new play generation, prospect evaluation, field studies, and project management. Bob began his career at Shell Oil in 1980; followed by four years working for private oil companies before becoming an independent consultant in 2003, consulting in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and New Zealand. In addition to consulting, Bob is an instructor for Subsurface Consulting and Associates where he teaches courses in basin analysis, prospect evaluation, subsurface mapping, map review, clastic depositional environments, and reserve estimation. Bob has also conducted peer and project reviews and map audits for a number of companies. Bob is a proven oil finder with a 46% exploration success rate and over 135 MMBOE discovered reserves.
Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one of the key approaches to reducing CO2 emissions from the energy and industrial sectors. This short course will provide in-depth training on the USGS CO2 storage assessment methodology and how to proceed with an assessment.
This course summarizes the “Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) classification system. PRMS guidelines are compared to SEC reserves reporting rules which, at the option of the audience, are also covered in significant depth. The course also emphasizes guidelines for unconventional (low permeability) resources, which are underemphasized in the original (2007) PRMS document but have received more detailed coverage in the updated Canadian Oil & Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH) in a recent section on Reserves Other Than Resources (ROTR).
Safe and efficient carbon sequestration requires high quality rock characterization data. Advanced core & cuttings digitalization allow us to rapidly collect statistically robust, AI-ready data. This course presents the combined core and cuttings digitalization techniques of CoreDNA and QEMSCAN analysis, providing mineralogy, rock strength, grain size, porosity, pore size and permeability datasets.
This two-day course introduces a workflow and reviews methods for performing quantitative rate-transient analysis of fractured vertical and multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs), produced from unconventional (low-permeability) gas and light oil reservoirs, including shales.
This course provides a comprehensive methodology for the diagnosis, analysis, and forecasting of well production data in unconventional resources.
This course is for geoscientists to understand pertinent unconventional reservoir engineering topics when working with their reservoir engineers. Topics covered are preliminary concepts, artificial lift during the life of the well, GOR profiles for unconventionals, underperforming wells in unconventionals, and fracture driven interactions.
This one-day course familiarizes attendees with the issues in the discipline of geohazards assessment. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to identify, select, and interpret the appropriate geohazards data, understand different types of geohazards documents, and engage the full-time geohazards specialist to complete a thorough assessment.
Learn how to prepare for, conduct, and document safe and effective field activities involving students (field camps) and/or local inhabitants (Geoscientists without Borders) by following generally accepted health, safety, security, and environmental (HSSE) practices.
In Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), hydraulic stimulation is used to increase the flow rate achievable during circulation between geothermal wells. This course will cover key concepts related to hydraulic fracturing and reservoir engineering in EGS.
As part of the international effort to combat global warming, which is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect, significant attention is being given to ways to sequester (store for the long-term) carbon dioxide. This course will look at some of the ways in which carbon dioxide can be stored and provide a detailed review of the SRMS framework prepared by the Society of Petroleum Engineers to classify and categorize the storage volumes.
Data driven modeling is becoming a key differentiation to unlock higher recoveries from existing fields as well as identify new opportunities. In this course, we will start by introducing advanced analytical tools and techniques — machine learning and data mining algorithms used to identify trends and patterns in any given dataset and predict future trends.
