Master in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production

Introduction

This postgraduate program has been designed to train young professionals as theirinitial steps towards a career within Repsol in oil and gas exploration and production. Itis aimed at university graduates from geosciences and/or engineering backgrounds, whorecently joined or wish to join Repsol companies active in the E&P field, professionalsfrom National Oil Companies, International Foundations invited by Repsol to theprogram, and personnel from other E&P companies under a cooperation Agreement

with Repsol.

The students should have an excellent basic technical background before joining theE&P Master at the Centro Superior de Formacion Repsol (CSFR). The education theyreceive during this Master Program will help them familiarize with the necessary toolsand acquire key skills that will enable them to carry out their professional E&P activitiesin the most efficient way.

Exploration and Production activities have a strong international character, thus theprogram in Madrid is fully and exclusively taught in English. CSFR teaching staff iscomposed by foreign university teachers and highly qualified petroleum industryprofessionals drawn mainly from Repsol. The second quarter of the program calledSpecialization Block is taught at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, United Kingdom).

The program lasts eleven months, starting on September 1st, 2014 and finishing on July31st, 2015. It is structured in four blocks as they are described below:

Field Training Block

Its purpose is to visualize in the Field most of the concepts learned in the previousBlocks. It involves three different areas to be covered:

  Geology Field School (takes place during the Basic Overview Block).

  Drilling Field School.

  Production Field School.

  HSE Field School and Formal Certifications

Some presentations could be required at the end of each Field School, and theparticipation and commitment during these weeks will be considered for approval of theMaster Program.

Team Project Block

Its purpose is to apply the concepts learnt in the previous blocks while working in amultidisciplinary team on a project with specific objectives and within a prescribedschedule. The methodology includes:

  Access to a database related to a real oil/gas field, which will be taken as astarting point.

  Use the technical advanced software tools as within Repsol E&P.

  Tutorial support provided by Repsol experts and external consultants.

  Formal presentation of conclusions and results upon project completion to aBoard of Experts composed by Repsol E&P Directors.

 Petroleum Engineering (PE)

The aim of the course is to extend the skills developed at undergraduate level andaugment them with specialised courses relevant to Petroleum Engineers. The course

was established in 1975 based on industry preferences.Entrants to the course will normally have a good honours degree in engineering or arelevant science discipline such as Geology, Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics.

Reservoir Evaluation and Management (REM)

The aim of the course is to extend the skills developed at undergraduate level andduring work experience, and to augment them with specialised courses relevant to earth

scientists and engineering graduates who wish to study the fundamentals of PetroleumReservoir Geo-engineering.

The course was established in 1993. It was developed from innovative research, withinthe Institute, that concentrates on integrating the geoscience and fluid flowcharacteristics of petroleum reservoirs. It therefore produces graduates who understandthe effects of both reservoir structure and properties on the exploration for andproduction of hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Entrants to the course will normally have a good honours degree in geology, geophysics,engineering or a relevant science discipline such as Geology, Physics, Chemistry orMathematics.

Petroleum Geosciences (PetGeo)

This is a collaborative MSc between the University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences,Heriot-Watt Petroleum Engineering and Newcastle University Fossil Fuels.

Overview

The purpose of the team project is to develop and consolidate the level of knowledgeacquired in class through a multidisciplinary work team. Students will use real data froman E&P company database, and will establish, based on the information provided, ageological model, build up one or more development scenarios, suggest different futureexploration strategies and recommend commercial options, within a given economiccontext and environmental scenario. Specific project goals will be established in theProject Guide later on.

The project is conceptually simple and involves the use of pre-selected data. Studentsare not expected to find complex solutions, but to consolidate basic concepts andknowledge within the framework of the generally accepted principles of exploration andproduction.

Use of real E&P data

The data will be taken from a field, in which the petroleum system can be easilyestablished. The database is extensive and complete, and covers all relevant aspects inexploration and production. It includes:

  Geological reports.

  Seismic data.

  Drilling reports.

  Well logs.

  Core analysis.

  Fluids Laboratory analysis reports(PVT).

  Surface facilities schematics.

  Production history.

  Previous Field Development

  Development strategy.

  Economical evaluation.

The project lasts 10 weeks.

Multidisciplinary teams

The students are organized in multidisciplinary teams, according to their background,specialization and professional experience as: Geologists, Geophysicists, ReservoirEngineers, Drilling Engineers and Production Engineers.

The team must choose a “Team Leader” who will be in charge of the coordination of all

the members’ activities as well as acting on their behalf at special meetings with  consultants and coordinators.

The different tasks related to the completion of the project shall be reassigned withinthe team thus each member of the group is responsible for a different area ofinvestigation.

Assessment

By the end of the project, each team will present their results to a Board of Expertsacting like a Board of Directors from an E&P company. Their grades weight 50% of thefinal mark from the block and will be the same for all team members.

The 30% of the final mark will be given by the coordinators of the project, who willcontinuously evaluate the performance of the teams. They will also hold preliminaryevaluation meetings through the project.
