Delivering Access to Centuries of Collective Industry Experience

TRAINING BY SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS

An expert network, providing high-quality technical training, built on wide subject matter expertise augmented by the wisdom of collective experience.
 

With reduced head counts and natural attrition as the great crew change leads to loss of expertise across the industry effective knowledge transfer has become even more essential to grow the skills of your technical teams. 

VANTAGE offers a range of technical training through classroom courses, field trips and core shed visits that transmit knowledge, offer wisdom gained from deep experience and empower staff to drive future success. Our team of experienced SMEs covering Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics and Reservoir Engineering have expertise spanning exploration through appraisal, development and production phases.

Our portfolio of training courses covers both oil and gas topics as well as the geological storage of CO2. Our extensive expertise allows us to offer customised training that would appeal to groups with different levels of current capability. Courses on particular topics can range from a general introduction to highly specialised offerings of a advanced nature.

Courses can be structured as classroom training exercises or delivered as technical workshops that enable use of proprietary materials to teach the theory but also deliver working products as an integral part of the process.

Field training exercises to study outcrop and modern depositional analogues or visits to the core shed to translate field observations into  improved sub-surface applications can be arranged through the Vantage Technical Network.

Our team’s world-class capability offers the opportunity to leverage our experts to extend your in-house capability and profit from our substantial knowledge and experience.

Training is are available throughout the year and can be personalised to align with your needs drawing on relevant examples that are pertinent to your project needs. Courses can be run in-house or remotely, with flexible course duration, typically covering 1-5 days.

For field based training and core shed visits we adhere to stringent health and safety requirements that will meet or exceed the requirements of major companies. We can work closely to personalise requirements to ensure your expectations are fully met.
