  Geology & Geophysics Petrophysics Reservoir Engineering Production & Drilling Petroleum Business Health, Safety, Environment
      Modeling & Simulation Reservoir Characterization & Well Testing Reservoir Management, Surveillance, Utilization EOR / Water Flooding Development Modeling/Field Development      
Courses providing Basic Application and Skilled Application competencies that also typically include cross-discipline competencies as well. The Specialized level assumes that the participant has sound Foundation skills in at least one of the primary disciplines relevant to the course content.  
Applied Rock Mechanics
Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
 
Coalbed Methane
Gas Reservoir Management
New Opportunities in Old Fields
  
Horizontal & Multilateral Wells:
Analysis & Design
Horizontal & Multilateral Wells: Drilling & Completions & Stimulation
   
Basic Application and Skilled Application competencies. The Intermediate level assumes the participant has the Foundation skills in that discipline from a combination of Foundation-level courses and on-the-job experience. Awareness competencies may be quickly reviewed in the course, but are not rigorously taught.  
Integration of Rocks, Log & Test Data
Production Logging
Wireline Formation Testing & Interpretation
Capillarity in Rocks
Reservoir Simulation Strategies
Integrated Reservoir
Modeling
Reservoir Characterization: A Multi-Disciplinary Team Approach
Reservoir Management
Oil and Gas Reserves Evaluation
  
Formation Damage: Causes, Prevention & Remediation
 		    
Courses providing Basic Application (along with Awareness) competencies and normally intended as the starting point for one that plans to be a practitioner in that discipline. The Foundation level is also used as cross-training courses for those that desire a deeper understanding of fundamentals than can be obtained in a Basic course.
