Hands on training (HOT) courses
Combining theory and application for practical competency
Our HOT courses combine current knowledge and case study material to illustrate the principles and application of subsurface science and engineering.
Each participant will analyse, interpret and integrate real data, using software platforms used throughout the industry.

Reputable, knowledgeable trainers
Our Trainers are professionals who practise what they teach.
This means that you get taught relevant and up to date content and workflows applicable to the challenges subsurface teams face today. Compare that to old school approaches (eg before the advent of computers). Course material is regularly updated to reflect industry trends and feedback from participants. |
Experiential learning environment
All HOT courses combine theory and application to allow participants to learn by doing.
What distinguishes HOT Courses is the amount of hands on time students have with real data using software applications used throughout the industry. We all know that practical application and real experience makes it easier to apply the concepts taught in the workplace. |
Customisable integrated modules
You can select an individual HOT module to "touch up" your competency profile, or combine with other modules to learn integrated topics, saving time and money.
The integrated topic sets are popular combinations of modules requested by previous participants. All content is fully customisable and can be tailored to deliver in house training objectives. |

Integrated Topics - Popular Module Combinations
IRM1, IRM2, IRM3
Learn about the Reservoir Modelling Process within the Project Management Framework, what decisions subsurface study activities support, and the evolution of uncertainty within the reservoir development lifecycle. |
GRM1, GRM2, GRM3
Learn about the impact of geomechanics on reservoir management, whether it is sand production, well test design and interpretation to estimate fracture stresses, or induced fracturing during waterfloods. The tools and workflows taught help to ensure reliable hydrocarbon production operations. |
EOR1, EOR2
Learn about fluid Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT) relationships and build Equation of State (EOS) models to apply for compositional simulation, fluid decontamination and characterise compositional grading profiles in the reservoir. Use EOS models to characterise, screen and design gas miscible flood processes. |
