ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
Business Impact: The main aim is to provide insight and understanding of data
analytics and machine learning principles through applications. Field data is
used to explain data-analysis workflows. Using easy to follow solution scripts,
the participants will assess and extract value from the data sets. Hands-on
solution approach will give them confidence to try out applicable techniques on
data from their field assets.
Data analysis means cleaning, inspecting, transforming, and modeling data with
the goal of discovering new, useful information and supporting decision-making.
In this hands-on 2-day training course, the participants learn some data
analysis and data science techniques and workflows applied to petroleum
production (specifically artificial lift) while reviewing code and practicing.
The focus is on developing data-driven models while keeping our feet closer to
the underlying oil and gas production principles.
Unique Features:
* Eight business use cases covering their business impact, code walkthroughs
for most all and solution approach.
* Industry data sets for participants to practice on and take home.
* No software or complicated Python frameworks required.
Training Objectives
After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to:
* Understand digital oil field transformation and its impact on business
* Examine machine learning methods
* Review workflows and code implementations
* After completing the course, participants will have a set of tools and some
pathways to model and analyze their data in the cloud, find trends, and
develop data-driven models
Target Audience
This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit the following specific
groups:
* Artificial lift, production and facilities engineers and students to enhance
their knowledge base, increase technology awareness, and improve the facility
with different data analysis techniques applied on large data sets
Course Level
* Intermediate
* Advanced
Training Methods
The course discusses several business use-cases that are amenable to data-driven
workflows. For each use case, the instructor will show the solution using a data
analysis technique with Python code deployed in the Google cloud. Trainees will
solve a problem and tweak their solution.
Course Duration: 2 days in total (14 hours).

surveillance, corrosion, equipment maintenance, DTS/DAS interpretation. He has
worked for national oil companies, majors, independents, and service providers
globally. He has multiple patents and has delivered a multitude of industry
presentations. Twice selected as an SPE distinguished lecturer, he also
volunteers on SPE committees. He holds a Bachelor's and Master's in chemical
engineering from the Gujarat University and IIT-Kanpur, India; and a Ph.D. in
Petroleum Engineering from the University of Tulsa, USA.
Highlighted Work Experience:
* At Weatherford, consulted with clients as well as directed teams on digital
oilfield solutions including LOWIS - a solution that was underneath the
production operations of Chevron and Occidental Petroleum across the globe.
* Worked with and consulted on equipment's like field controllers, VSDs,
downhole permanent gauges, multiphase flow meters, fibre optics-based
measurements.
* Shepherded an enterprise-class solution that is being deployed at a major oil
and gas producer for production management including artificial lift
optimization using real time data and deep-learning data analytics.
* Developed a workshop on digital oilfield approaches for production engineers.
