Speaker: Andrew Murawski

This is a practical workshop exploring key chemical considerations that impact well performance across Oklahoma formations. Topics will include optimizing chemical selection for frac jobs, developing well-specific chemical programs, and selecting effective surfactants for remediation and cleanup. Learn how formation characteristics, water chemistry, and analytical testing can help improve production, reduce compatibility issues, and support more effective field treatments.

Oil & Gas Safety Leadership Training Program

October 6, 7, 8 | In Person

Elevating onsite safety leadership stands as the most crucial step our industry can take to enhance workplace safety and reduce serious injuries and fatalities. To address this need, the Oil & Gas Safety Leadership Training Program was developed to strengthen frontline safety leadership across Oklahoma oil and gas operations. By participating in this program, field-level leaders gain hands-on skills, targeted knowledge, and practical tools designed to help them effectively lead and promote safe practices during onsite operations. Ultimately, the program aims to reinforce a robust safety culture, empowering field supervisors to influence positive behaviors and drive meaningful, sustainable improvements in operational safety.

SPCC Training

October 8 | 11 A.M.| Zoom
Speaker: Laura Worthen Lodes

Managing spills and staying compliant with regulations can often be time-consuming and challenging. In this class, we’ll explore the key requirements for facilities to develop, implement, and maintain an effective Oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan.

Electric Logging

This nine-hour course offers an introductory overview of electric logging, in both open and cased hole environments. Students will be introduced to the history, equipment, and techniques behind a wide range of wireline log types — including Gamma Ray, Spontaneous Potential, Neutron, Formation Density, Sonic, Induction Electric, Dipmeter, Image Logs, and more. Participants will learn how each log type works, whether electrical, radioactive, or acoustic in nature, and how the data they produce is applied in real-world oil and gas contexts such as correlation, porosity evaluation, water saturation analysis, and permeability assessment. The course also covers common digital and raster output formats (LAS, LIS, TIFF, CGM, etc) and provides hands-on familiarity with widely used industry software including Blue View, PDS View, Halliburton Log Viewer, and Baker Atlas MetaWin, among others.

Intro To Econ

This course provides a foundational understanding of oil and gas economics and the principles used to evaluate and assess oil and gas assets. Topics include financial and economic concepts, asset valuation, reserve reporting, and the application of economic analysis to drilling and development decisions, with practical examples using PhDWin and ARIES. The course is designed for anyone seeking a fundamental understanding of oil and gas asset evaluation. Some prior knowledge of the oil and gas industry, or completion of an “Intro to Oil and Gas” course, is recommended.

Air Regulations

October 27 | 10:30 A.M. | Zoom
Speaker: Laura Worthen Lodes

Air emission regulations continue to evolve causing compliance to be time-consuming, difficult, and frustrating. Never fear, Altamira will help you understand which regulations apply to you, including state and federal requirements. Join us to learn the latest on Federal Air Quality Regulations and Oklahoma and Texas Permitting Requirements.

Well and Production Data Management

October 27 & 29 November 3 & 5 | 6 P.M.| In Person | Part of PetroTech | 12 Hours | Prerequisites: Prior work experience in the Oil & Gas Industry, basic computer skills, familiarity with Excel, and introductory oil and gas knowledge—including common terms such as well, lease, operator, production, and reservoir.

Well and Production Data Management will teach students how to locate, analyze, and interpret oil and gas well and production information using the Enerdeq Browser platform. Students will learn to interpret API numbers, well status, operator and ownership information, well locations, directional surveys, completion data, and horizontal and vertical well characteristics. The course will also cover accessing and analyzing production histories, identifying production trends and decline patterns, comparing well and operator performance, and calculating basic production metrics and forecasts.

Students will learn how to build and run custom queries by county, operator, formation, field, and production thresholds; use interactive maps to evaluate wells, operators, and drilling activity; track permits, rig activity, completion dates, and production start dates; and identify development trends and emerging plays. Students will also learn to export well and production data to Excel for reports, dashboards, engineering and geological studies, and acquisition, divestiture, land, and business development projects. The course will demonstrate how industry data supports reservoir and production engineering, land and mineral analysis, A&D, business development, and regulatory research.

This course is designed for anyone who wants to independently retrieve and analyze well and production information from Enerdeq and use industry data to support technical and business decisions. Basic computer skills, familiarity with Excel, and introductory oil and gas knowledge—including common terms such as well, lease, operator, production, and reservoir—are recommended.

Artificial Lift: Comparing Technologies & Selecting the Best Fit

This course provides a practical overview of the most common artificial lift systems used in the oil and gas industry, with a focus on understanding the strengths, limitations, and ideal applications of each method. Participants will learn the key factors that influence artificial lift selection, including reservoir conditions, production rates, fluid properties, well depth, economics, and operational considerations.

Through presentations from industry experts, attendees will compare different lift technologies and gain the knowledge needed to determine which artificial lift system is best suited for specific well conditions. The course concludes with a panel discussion, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions and discuss real-world challenges and solutions with experienced professionals.

Course Agenda

10:00 AM – 11:00 AM: Rod Lift
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM: ESP (Electric Submersible Pump) & Capillary Systems
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Plunger Lift
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Gas Lift
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM: Expert Panel Discussion & Audience Q&A

Who Should Attend
This course is designed for production engineers, field personnel, operations teams, technicians, students, and anyone involved in the selection, operation, or optimization of artificial lift systems who wants to better understand how to match lift methods to well conditions for improved production and efficiency.

Oil & Gas Econ ARIES

This class will provide students with a broad understanding of ARIES® Petroleum Economics and Reserves Software, a widely used industry tool for evaluating the economic value and reserves of oil and gas properties. This 12-hour course is designed for reservoir engineers, reserves analysts, petroleum engineers, acquisitions teams, and others involved in asset evaluation. Students will learn to import and manage production data, perform decline curve analysis, forecast oil, gas, and NGL production, estimate reserves and well life, and apply common decline models. The course will also cover building economic models, forecasting cash flow and revenue, modeling operating and capital expenses, applying taxes, royalties, and ownership interests, and calculating NPV and rates of return.

Students will gain an understanding of proved, probable, and possible reserves, economic limits, reserve reporting, and SEC and internal evaluation practices. They will also learn to organize wells, leases, and fields; manage property datasets; perform scenario and sensitivity analysis; compare development and acquisition opportunities; and create professional economic and reserves reports. By the end of the course, students should be able to forecast production, estimate reserves, evaluate property economics and investment opportunities, analyze the impact of commodity prices, and communicate results for business and investment decisions. Basic Excel skills, introductory petroleum engineering and economics concepts, and familiarity with oil and gas production data are recommended.

Note: This 12-hour course provides a broad overview of ARIES and does not replace the ARIES® Fundamentals or ARIES® Advanced courses.
