Data and Digital
Geomatics: Geodesy and Cartography
Incorrect geodetic parameters can misplace wells, pipelines and seismic surveys, leading to costly errors and safety risks. Through case studies, demonstrations and hands-on exercises with an online geodetic registry, this course builds awareness of datums, coordinate reference systems and map projections. It also explains how satellite positioning works and its accuracy limits.

Data and Digital
Introduction to Machine Learning/Data Analytics for Subsurface Engineering and Geoscience Applications
Advances in machine learning and computing power now make it possible to extract insight from large, varied and real-time datasets. This course introduces how these methods are applied to subsurface data such as production, drilling, seismic and well data. Participants learn the core concepts, data quality practices and pitfalls of data-driven approaches in the industry.

Data and Digital
Seismic Positioning Data Management
This course explains the geodetic considerations needed to remove ambiguity from geospatial data, using case studies covering acquisition, processing, loading and well location selection. While both navigation and trace data are addressed, the main focus is the positioning component of seismic trace data. Metadata preservation and compliance with international exchange standards are treated as the backbone of data integrity.

Drilling and Wells
Basic Drilling Technology
An introductory look at how oil and gas wells are planned, designed and drilled, written for anyone who supports or works alongside drilling teams. Participants build a working vocabulary of rig equipment and operations, then explore bits, fluids, cementing, casing, hydraulics and well control. The course also explains how rock and pressure behave downhole and why common drilling problems occur.

Drilling and Wells
Basic Petroleum Economics - Well Site Supervisor
Part of the well site supervisor development track, this unit explains why the oil and gas business moves in cycles and how operators and contractors respond to price forces outside their control. Learners work through cash flow, pricing and economic decision tools, and practise building break-even cases for well services. It combines self-paced online study with live virtual sessions.

Drilling and Wells
Casing and Cementing
This course follows the full process of planning and carrying out casing and cement work, from choosing casing sizes and depths through to remedial cementing and plugging. Technical design methods are paired with practical field experience so participants can tackle real jobs with confidence. Calculation tools and a reference text support routine design work.

Drilling and Wells
Casing and Cementing Operations - Well Site Supervisor
Within the well site supervisor track, this unit focuses on installing casing, cement and wellhead equipment correctly so that the well keeps its integrity for its whole life. It stresses careful handling of casing connections, sound cement placement and proper zonal isolation to protect people, assets and the environment. Common misconceptions about cement displacement are examined alongside recognised good practice.

Cementing Practices - Cementing II
A deeper look at cement, additives and placement methods for operating company staff who need to oversee cement jobs effectively. The course examines how a cement sheath must perform over the life of a well, going beyond compressive strength to wider mechanical properties. Participants learn to read labouratory results, plan primary, squeeze and plug operations, and evaluate cement quality from logs.

Comprehensive Review, Capstone Exercise and Testing - Well Site Supervisor
The closing unit of the well site supervisor track brings together the key lessons from every earlier unit in a structured review and examination. A capstone exercise asks participants to analyse time data from offset wells similar to their own, as a first step towards technical limit thinking. Completion of all other track units is required before attending.

Crew Resource Management - Well Site Supervisor
This unit addresses the human side of safe operations, exploring why capable teams following agreed procedures can still fall short. Through interactive desktop exercises, participants develop the communication, awareness and decision-making skills that sit alongside technical competence. The material can also be run as a standalone session for wider operational teams.
