Overview

This two-day course is designed to provide technical professionals with an overview of new oil production technologies. Topics include elements such as deliberate sand co-production and gravity drainage that have been developed in the last several years. Technology screening issues will be outlined and informative assessments of the various approaches will be provided. In class notes (binders) will be provided however, if participants bring a laptop ALL THE PRESENTATIONS in open PowerPoint format, along with an additional 1.2 GB of information (papers, presentations, etc…) will be provided.

A complete set of course materials and lunches are included.
