Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in petroleum geology and rock evaluation; it has added to it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on rock evaluation both accrue interest. The course sets out a working method for the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline that participants can apply the week they return. Participants finish able to explain petroleum geology and rock evaluation to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations, in large organisations and small ones alike. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a operating procedure for rock evaluation as they go. Progress on petroleum geology and rock evaluation is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Practitioner evidence points the same way: rock evaluation improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants leave with a plan for this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.

Verify that contractors working on petroleum geology and rock evaluation meet the same standard as direct staff.
Model the economics of rock evaluation under a realistic range of price scenarios.
Set the minimum documentation for petroleum geology and rock evaluation that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.
