Chevron Short Course Series
We were lucky enough to get through all five sessions of the Chev - ron Short Course Series before the pandemic hit. They included:
• Trouble Free Drilling, presented by John Mitchell
• Cementing Technologies and Applications Presented by Ahmed
Mansour, BJ services;
• Data Analytics , Presented by Naser Erwemi, Nobel Energy
• Reservoir Management, presented by Zack Warren and Michael
Hirsch of Great Western Oil and Gas
• Reliability Engineering, Presented by: Miller Newlon, Aera
Energy LLC.
Around 50 students, mostly seniors with a few juniors and grad students, participated in the series this year. Upon completion of the short course the students received a certificate of completion as well as additional skills, knowledge, and training to put on their resume.
Students were excited for the opportunity to learn skills that were immediately useful in classes and internships.
We are always looking for interesting and useful instructors and courses, so please contact Mansur Ermila if you would like to par- ticipate or share an opportunity for a course students would bene - fit from. The Chevron Short Course Series will primarily be offered as webinars for AY 2020-21, so this provides more opportunities for instructors located outside the Denver area.
A big thanks to Chevron for their continued support.
