Objective
This workshop aims to providing comprehensive and fundamental knowledge of field development and depletion optimization through effective EOR and IOR operations. The main components of reservoir exploration utilizing geological and seismic survey are briefly presented and their role in ensuring the integrity of the petroleum industry is fully explained. From the main concept of investment behind the petroleum industry to the input of geological and seismic surveys to define a potential hydrocarbon reservoir to the reservoir evaluation & NCF profile generation to increase hydrocarbon recovery through EOR & IOR to production strategies that optimize depletion of the reservoir – all are discussed and fully deliberated. This workshop is the venue to understand the complete story of field development in a systematic and easy to understand fashion with all interaction between different processes and operations. Firsthand lessons of exposure to the market and capitalizing from your experience as a specialist will be entertained on the last day of the workshop.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is designed for petroleum engineers and other disciplines of engineers who are involved in the petroleum industry. Geologists, petrophysists and direct and middle level managers are also encouraged to attend.
Duration: One week (5 working days)
The Instructor
Dr. H.A. Belhaj has 30 years of combined petroleum industrial and academic experience with key qualifications in drilling engineering, well completion, reservoir engineering, reservoir simulation, modeling fractured reservoirs, well stimulation, sand production control technology, and petroleum economics and risk analysis. Geographically, his experience is spread over North America, Europe, North Africa, Far East, and the Middle-East. He published over 80 papers and two books on different issues related to petroleum engineering. Also, He participated four provisional patent disclosures that have direct applications to the oil industry (BP America has sponsored one). Dr. Belhaj is currently a faculty member at The Petroleum
Institute, Abu Dhabi. Previously, he served several faculty positions with Texas Tech University, Texas, Dalhousie University, Canada and other international universities and institutions. He also worked for S.M.A.R.T. Inc., Canada, Schlumberger International, and the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC) as well as several part-time and consultation jobs for different academic and industrial organization worldwide. Dr. Belhaj is a registered professional engineer and active member of several professional societies and organizations around the globe. Dr. Belhaj is providing training and consultations services to the oil industry for the last two decades. He is an active member of ongoing OBC program; a dedicated year-round training program for oil industry engineers in UAE sponsored by ADNOC and Opco’s. He has presented over 50 guest speaker lectures, seminars and workshops for oil industry and academia covering different aspects of the petroleum industry.
