This is an agenda to provide a two-year training program, in Petroleum Engineering to non-Petroleum Engineers, e.g. Mechanical Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Electrical Engineers.
PHASE I – BASIC PETROLEUM ENGINEERING COURSES
This phase of the training program contains 12 one-week long basic courses in petroleum engineering. These courses are equivalent to the courses taught at US universities at the Bachelor’s level.
PHASE II – ADVANCED PETROLEUM ENGINEERING COURSES
Phase I of the program will be followed by 12 one-week long advanced courses in Petroleum Engineering that are taught at the graduate level. The course content exactly matches that of several top petroleum engineering program in the USA.
Only students who successfully complete the twelve basic courses will be able to join the sponsoring company and attend the advanced courses. The advanced courses can also be attended by the company’s technical staff that have a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering or have at least five years field experience in petroleum engineering.
At the completion of the advanced courses, students will be assigned by the sponsoring company an actual field project. Students will be given three months to submit a report and make a presentation in Kuwait. The field studies (a mini-thesis) will be supervised by the instructors.
The instructors are all Professors and experienced consultants at various universities in the USA. Some instructors have published books in their area of expertise.
