Petroleum Engineering offers Network of Excellence in Training short courses

The Department of Petroleum Engineering has made arrangements with Schlumberger, the largest oil and gas service company worldwide, to offer their NExT (Network of Excellence in Training) industry short courses training at UND, in the training room of the Collaborative Engineering Complex. The NExT is one of the best providers of oil and gas training courses which offers several courses per year all around the world.

A two-day course of “Geomechanics Applications in Shale Gas” is scheduled to be held on March 28-29. Details are at http://www.nexttraining.net/Sessions/Details/39639/Geomechanics-Applications-in-Shale-Gas.aspx. Registration will close soon.

I am currently negotiating to get a discounted price for students.

Also, the two software courses below will be offered in April:

• Petrel fundamentals, two days, April 10-11: http://www.nexttraining.net/Sessions/Details/39637/Petrel-Fundamentals.aspx
• Petrel Geology, three days, April 12-14: http://www.nexttraining.net/Sessions/Details/39638/Petrel-Geology.aspx

For these two software courses, the students will receive 90 percent discount on the quoted price in their website, which is a great deal.

Registration for courses should be done online through the above links.
