Message from the Managing Director

PetroSkills is the world’s largest petroleum learning and development organization with over 200 of the finest

courses covering the entire range of petroleum technology from exploration to refining.

This year, in addition to new courses in various disciplines, we are proud to announce enhancements to our

Un-conventional Resource offerings. Breakthroughs in technology combining with the economic landscape have

made once economically unviable resources a vital and growing part of the business. PetroSkills continues to

lead the way in addressing the ever-changing industry, which means development of new course material to fill

the needs associated with these resource plays. See more details on the inside back cover.

Even with all of this growth, we’re not finished. Just what is PetroSkills and where is it heading?

PetroSkills is:

• Open to anyone from any organization through over 1100 public sessions delivered in more than 30 cities, or

on a customized basis at your location anywhere in the world

• Directed by an Industry Advisory Board that actively provides overall direction and quality assurance

• Based on detailed Competency Maps that outline the specific skills professionals need to do their jobs

• Over 280 instructors, consisting of the petroleum industry’s leading technical experts

In 2011 PetroSkills will:

• Add Virtual Learning to select courses

• Continue to expand our unconventional resource programs.

• Expand to provide additional offerings in Operations & Maintenance

• Introduce Accelerated Development Programs in Geoscience, Engineering, and Petrophysics (see page 8)

• Continue to expand our Competency Management process and tool sets to help clients reduce the time to competency

• Expand our offering of Field Trips in various Geology courses, and

• Undoubtedly, welcome new members to the alliance

As we’ve grown, we’ve also outgrown the ability to put all the details of our entire program offering in our single catalog. If you

are interested in our vast selection of Surface Facility courses, please visit our website at www.petroskills.com.

When you attend a PetroSkills program, you can be sure that it will fit into your overall career development program, and will

be the best training available. If there’s anything I can do to help, please e-mail me directly at [email protected]. I’d be happy

to hear from you.

WHAT SETS PETROSKILLS APART?

THE ALLIANCE.

Member Companies

From original members, Shell and BP, to the most recent, Talisman, MOL,

Pertamina, and Maersk Oil, the PetroSkills advantage lies with its members.

What do the PetroSkills members provide to the Alliance and training industry?

•

Curriculum Advisors and Subject Matter Experts who direct and update

PetroSkills competency maps for each technical discipline

•

Competency assurance through adoption of structured personnel

development based on industry approved competency maps

•

Quality control and assurance that PetroSkills course material and

instructors meet the highest industry standard

Service Providers

OGCI, TTG Systems, John M. Campbell & Co, University of Trinidad

& Tobago, and Southern Alberta Institute of Technology power the Alliance

deliverables by providing:

SO WHAT IS PETROSKILLS?

The differentiator... industry-driven competencies.

It’s all in the maps. It’s easy to talk about “developing the

competency of employees,” but what does that really mean? How

do you establish that baseline for competency

development? PetroSkills addresses this question with detailed

competency maps. These maps define non-unique, but

necessary job skills at skill levels ranging from awareness to

mastery. These competency maps represent the shared

viewpoint of PetroSkills Alliance contributors. It is not

PetroSkills telling the industry what’s important – it’s the

industry guiding PetroSkills.

A foundation of competency-based learning and development.

PetroSkills course content is based on the competency maps developed with

and by the member companies. Every discipline has clearly defined skills

contained in each competency map that ensures professionals they will

receive the skills they need at their individual level and put them on the right

track for advancement.

The member curriculum advisors and the PetroSkills Board must approve

each course and its material content, establishing that it is practical,

up-to-date and relevant training. There are 190 courses offered to the public in

over 40 locations worldwide, and are also available at your location,

anywhere in the world, on an in-house basis.

Structured Programs to Improve Time to Competency

Accelerated Development Programs (page 8) combine course work,

coaching, and job experiences to build competent, independent contributors

in a minimal amount of time. This mix of learning methods will accelerate

the development of both discipline knowledge and the experience to apply

that knowledge.

PetroSkills Competency Solutions

CAT Enterprise is a web based software program designed to allow

individuals to direct their own career development through the identification

of skill gaps and the learning activities needed to close those skill gaps. It

also provides organizations with an effective system to organize, measure,

and manage development requirements.

TRACCESS CI is designed to address the unique requirements of delivering,

managing, tracking and assuring the knowledge and capability of operator

and maintenance (O&M) technicians.The system provides a self directed

method of monitoring compliance and building competence of all process

operations personnel.

We encourage you to look at PetroSkills in-depth, see how we continue to

build upon this foundation, and join the most dynamic technical training

company in the industry. Take a close look and you’ll see why PetroSkills

leads the industry in petroleum training.

The GEP Accelerated Development Programs balance activities between two skill development environments:

The classroom environment is focused on providing a solid competency foundation by addressing basic scientific, engineering and cross-discipline principles and planning aspects of relevant technologies.

The work environment immerses participants in the discipline-specific and multi-disciplinary workflows of their sponsoring companies, facing practical challenges in a structured and coached environment.

These programs include assurance in the form of: • Individual pre-course assessments

• Quizzes and examples

• Individual post-course assessment

• Examination/presentation for each Introduction and Foundation Phases

• Final Capstone Project examination/presentation Relevant field data used throughout the programs act as a unifying case study and provide a “red thread” to reinforce concepts as well as demonstrate the interrelationships among the concepts presented.

The programs deliver on the following overall goals:

• Knowledge of discipline-specific concepts, workflows and technologies for their specific discipline. They will understand the importance of a multi-disciplinary

perspective in the planning and implementation of a drilling, development of exploration project.

• Understanding of common tools and techniques used in their discipline. They will have an opportunity to use those tools in the office and at the wellsite or in the field. They can explain the sources of the data sets required for

development, exploration or drilling well planning and the uncertainties of the resulting output. They can identify the key factors of the input data and the recipients of the results of the analysis.

• Understanding of linkages between the various disciplines and the roles and responsibilities of one’s own discipline and linkages between all E&P disciplines.

• The ability to work and participate in asset teams and the understanding that there is positive business impact associated with effective teamwork.

A B O U T T H E C O U R S E

This course is far more than an introduction to petroleum engineering and certainly is not a superficial presentation of the technology of the industry. Its purpose is to develop an understanding of the technology and its applications at an engineer’s level, and the confidence and professional enthusiasm which comes with that understanding. The course has had a revolutionary effect on training programs for many major oil and service companies by making specialized training that follows far more effective. Participants enter those specialized programs with a depth of understanding of that particular technology and relation to other classic and new technologies of the industry. The course focuses on the field and application approach, and includes classroom exercises, fundamental engineering problems, and basic field exercises.

C O U R S E C O N T E N T

Reservoir fluid properties • Petroleum geology • Reservoir properties and evaluation • Unconventional gas (“tight shale” gas) • Exploration technology • Drilling engineering • Well completion, stimulation and workover • Well testing and formation damage • Production operations • Recovery methods • Surface processing

Technical, field, service, support and supervisory personnel desiring to gain an introductory overview of these topics and how they interrelate. Excellent for cross-training of other technical disciplines such as reservoir and surface facility engineers plus geoscientists, and anyone who interacts with drilling, completion or workover design engineers such as technical supervisors and technical service personnel.

This is not a fundamental course for training engineers seeking a career in drilling or workovers (for these, PO1 is recommended).

•How drilling, completing and reworking a well affects its ability to produce

•What can be done within open-hole and cased wells, as a part of reservoir management

•How drilling practices can damage or stimulate producing wells

This course gives a technical overview of the science and art of drilling operations, completion practices and post-completion wellbore enhancement or remedial workover techniques (well intervention). It develops an understanding of the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of each of these areas of engineering practice. Reservoir Engineers will learn what can be done within open-hole and cased wells as they execute reservoir management. Drilling and completion personnel will learn how the producing reservoir can be damaged or stimulated by what they do. The participants learn to visualize what is happening "downhole", discover what can be accomplished and gain an appreciation for wellbore risks and the possibility of damage to the formation; and how drilling and completion practices can alter reservoir interpretation and performance. The participant will become conversant with specific technical terminology and aware of practical applications, which should enhance communication and interaction between disciplines.

OVERVIEW OF THE DRILLING PROCESS• Overall drilling practices • Language of drilling•Reservoir rock and fluid properties•Rigs & rig equipment• Drilling string components & design • Bits•Drilling fluids & hydraulics•Rig operation•MWD • Well control•Hole problems & stuck pipe•Drilling risks•Cores and coring•Casing design & installation•Primary cementing•Directional, horizontal, multilateral & under-balanced drilling•Wellhead & trees

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPLETION PROCESS• Zonal isolation • Tubing, packers & completion equipment • Safety & flow control devices • Open hole completions • Basic completion types • Perforating • Open & cased hole logging • Formation damage & treatment • Completion fluids•Multiple completions

OVERVIEW OF WORKOVER TECHNIQUES• Stimulation application: surfactants, solvents, acidizing, fracturing & deep perforating • Formation & sand control: creens, chemical consolidation, gravel packing, frac-pack, new & novel techniques • Scale & corrosion • Paraffin & asphaltenes • Recompletions • Reworks • Sidetracking • Deepening • Coiled tubing
