    NOTE: Objectives for each day will be discussed with the participants and will be verified at closure of each day.

        a) to verify if the objectives for this day were met
        b) to determine if any adjustments need to be made to the program of the following day (if relevant)

  • Although the course is open for all disciplines, it’s mainly set-up for geoscientist and subsurface engineers working in development and production optimization teams:

  • The objectives and modules of the training course “Integrated Reservoir Studies” are directly linked to the Competence Assurance Programme (CAP) as developed by SOGOS Academy. Skills are selected from the SOGOS Academy skills library and these are translated into the training course curriculum. This approach ensures that each training event will demonstrable contribute to the competence of course participants.

    The management framework CAP ensures competence of all employees through:

    • the use of a unique set of skills standard to the oil & gas industry
    • a common language for skills and competence
    • the use of development/job profiles for each employee
    • fit-for-purpose training targets
    • a control mechanism to measure state of competence

  • About the trainer
    High level specialist in reservoir and well management of (mature) gas fields and gas storage field, production forecasting, reserves reporting, production efficiency improvement and optimisation, gas well deliquification, well testing, surveillance, field development and business development support.

    The trainer was also representative for some major oil&gas companies during technical committee meetings with partners, supporting younger engineers and sharing knowledge about gas reservoir and production engineering.
