Unconventional reservoirs present unique challenges due to their low permeability, heterogeneity, and complex geomechanics. Traditional primary and secondary recovery methods often yield poor results in these environments, prompting the development and…

Formation evaluation is a critical process in the oil and gas industry used to determine the physical and fluid properties of subsurface formations. It helps engineers identify hydrocarbon-bearing zones, evaluate…

In the development of unconventional oil and gas resources such as shale oil, shale gas, and tight oil and gas, horizontal drilling has almost been regarded as the “standard technology”…

Training of well logging engineers has always been a challenge. Open hole and cased hole logging involve different tools, workflows, risks, and decision points, with most training programs still depending on…

In many oil well projects, training is often regarded as a “necessary but compressible cost”. As long as basic compliance requirements are met and personnel have previous experience, it is…

Pipeline integrity fails because of human errors, which include missed signals and delayed responses and incomplete procedure understanding during emergencies. Operator training needs to extend beyond traditional manual and classroom slide…

It is well understood that if drilling teams are able to look ahead to simulator scenarios from memory, then the effectiveness of training is undermined. Traditional simulators, while useful for learning…

In the modern field of oil and gas exploration and development, “drilling a straight well” is no longer the only option, nor is it the most efficient one. As the…

An oil and gas well control training program requires a simulator, which acts beyond its role as a tool for its operation. Rather, it is an important part of the…

In the oil and gas industry, the high-risk working environment means that the skill level and safety awareness of employees directly affect the safety of enterprise operations and production efficiency…

As the oil and gas industry increasingly demands higher standards for safety production, operational norms, and efficiency improvement, the traditional “master-mentee” training method has become inadequate for complex working conditions…

Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) training is a fundamental aspect of the drilling activities in the oil and gas industries. The fact is that many organizations in the oil and…
