About this Training Course To the non-geologist, working with Petroleum Geologists can be confusing. Petroleum geology has specific terminology and many concepts and data sources unfamiliar to the uninitiated. This course has been designed to introduce these terms and provide an insight into how oil and gas are formed, how they are found and how they are extracted. Using a holistic combination of lectures, experiments, case study and practical exercises, the course involves an introduction to fundamental geological concepts, to exploration techniques, prospecting, drilling, well logs and recovery methods. The course will also demystify the terminology surrounding petroleum geology, demonstrate the use of geological information to show the value and weakness of different datasets, and lead to better communication and decision-making between the geologists and non-geologists. It will feature world-class virtual reality field trips that incorporate activities and features unavailable in the physical field, and provide for a more integrated and flexible learning resource (also see the trainer's article on page 4 which was first published in GEO ExPro Magazine, the upstream oil and gas industry's favourite magazine). Course Highlights: Course facilitator has delivered petroleum geology training to many companies over the years Facilitator is also a professionally trained teacher and former university lecturer who is experienced in communicating with people at all levels of technical knowledge Practical exercises, experiments, examination of real rocks, a virtual reality field trip and case study are used to clarify and reinforce important concepts Training Objectives By attending this training, you will be able to acquire the following: Understand the geological methods and principles used in hydrocarbon exploration, development and production. Understand the key elements of a petroleum system, from hydrocarbon source to reservoir and seal Appreciate basin analysis, regional geology and play based exploration techniques Be aware of the different sorts of hydrocarbon trap from structural to stratigraphic Understand the technical terminology, tools and methods used in exploration geology Learn about unconventional Understand and evaluate the sources and reliability of various types of geological information Understand acquisition, processing and interpretation of seismic data Learn the technical processes and terminology involved in exploration Understand how a prospect is defined and risked Understand how seismic, existing well information and outcrop geology can be used for exploration Gain an understanding of the methods used for petroleum geology to allow a discovery to be appraised and then developed Target Audience The course is suitable to all personnel, but those that benefit most include: This course will benefit Petroleum Engineers (reservoir, drilling, production) who work with geological data, Geophysicists with little or no geological background, Project managers whose teams include petroleum geologists, Finance, Procurement, Marketing and Communications staff, and government Data Managers who handle petroleum geological data and need to understand the sources of different types of data.

About this VILT Tripod can be used in any area of business where the organisation has a management system in place to prevent unwanted events e.g., health, safety, environment, quality, security, productivity, project management, and many more Tripod Beta is one of several tools based on Tripod's fundamental principles. Tripod Beta is based on proven theories, man years of academic research, and testing in the workplace. The Swiss Cheese Model originated from this work. Features of the methodology are: 1) the Tripod Beta diagram; it provides an easy-to-read summary of the entire investigation on a single page, 2) it accommodates deficiencies in leadership and worker participation, 3) it accommodates deficiencies in human behaviour, and 4) it highlights missing controls (not just controls that failed). Quality throughout all aspects of Tripod is assured by the Stichting Tripod Foundation (STF) and the Energy Institute. The participants will gain a theoretical understanding of the Tripod Beta methodology and terminology. They will be able to read Tripod diagrams and reports, and be able to assist incident investigation/analysis as a team member. This is the first step to becoming an accredited silver or gold practitioner. Tripod Beta Practitioner Accreditation is meant to build these skills, through a blend of support, coaching and assessments. Feedback is provided on Tripod incident investigation reports, giving the Practitioner the opportunity to hone their skills and become confident in their ability to use Tripod effectively. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Pass the Tripod Beta Practitioner (Bronze Level) exam Act as a team member or Tripod facilitator on an incident investigation Plan and schedule activities for an incident investigation Focus line of enquiry during an investigation Engage with the most relevant people at each stage of the investigation Describe the incident causation paths in terms that align with their management system Consider issues relating to leadership, worker participation and human behaviour Assess the quality of an incident report Apply the process to any type of unwanted event that should have been prevented by a management system e.g., health, safety, environment, financial, security, productivity, quality, project management etc. Combine the findings from many incidents with data from other initiatives e.g., audits and inspections, to spot trends to prioritise actions and product a single improvement plan Target Audience The course is recommended for anyone who is expected to play a role in designing, reviewing, auditing, and following your organizations OH&S management system. Successful participants will be awarded the Stitching Tripod Foundation Tripod Beta Bronze certificate. The following oil & gas company personnel will benefit from the knowledge shared in this course: CEO Team Leaders Legal, insurance and finance departments Managers (Line and Function) Maintenance Engineers Quality Assurance Engineers Process Engineers Incident Investigators (Team member & Tripod facilitator) Project Managers System Custodians Technical Authorities Key Contractor's Management Contract Managers/Holders Safety Representatives Risk Management Engineers HSE Advisors Supervisors Auditors Regulators Course Level Basic or Foundation Trainer Your expert course leader has over 30 years of experience in construction, operations and maintenance with the upstream exploration and production sector.
