Target audience: the advanced training course is available to individuals who hold (or are currently pursuing) a higher or secondary vocational education in the relevant field, or who have completed professional retraining in the corresponding area.
Studying methods: lecture, seminar, independent homework, case study, problem solving, calculations, graphing, group discussion, exercises, and watching videos.
After of course, participants will be: to improve professional competencies as reflected in practical abilities:
- to conduct risk analysis and screening of development methods for heavy and viscous oil fields, including: non‑isothermal waterflooding, steam and other heat carrier injection, steam‑assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and its variants, in‑situ combustion, and thermal gas methods;
- to analyze the feasibility of coalbed methane (CBM) extraction from coal seams;
- to select completion technologies and systems for developing fields with contact reserves;
- to plan geological and technical measures for low‑permeability reservoirs.
About course: enhancement of professional competencies for: reservoir engineers; production and operations engineers; well completion engineers; geologists of companies involved in the development of unconventional reserves. Focus areas: production of heavy oil, natural gas, and gas condensate from low‑permeability reservoirs; extraction of shale oil and shale gas; recovery of methane hydrates and coalbed methane. With consideration of: application of Russian and international technologies, methods, and models.
