• Understand how to implement the Big Data Analytics to improve drilling processes
• Appreciate Artificial neural network and its geoscience applications
• Implement data management and data analytics for intelligent reservoir characterization
• Effectively perform data analysis for production forecasting
• Implement Blockchain models for Risk Management and production optimization

This RECTUS training course is designed for all professionals working in the field of data analysis, oil and gas exploration, geology and reservoir modelling.

It is also quite beneficial for other people involved in the upstream oil production as it shows the interdependence of the data between the departments.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit: 

• Reservoir Engineers
• Petroleum Engineers
• Risk Managers
• Drilling managers
• Field service and related operations
• Business Unit Heads
• Data and Business Analysts
• Data Mining/Data Managers/Data Scientists

Participants to this RECTUS training course will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the course outline with the Tutor utilizing a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. Course methodology includes presentation of theoretical concepts, video lectures, example case studies and many exercises that will be done through the guided work of the delegates themselves.
