Chevron Short Course Series
We had five sessions of the Chevron Short Course Series this year. They included: Trouble Free Drilling, presented by John Mitchell; Production Technolo- gie and Applications, presented by Noble Energy at their Greeley, CO training facility; Reservoir Manage- ment, presented by Zack Warren and Michael Hirschf of Great Western Oil and Gas, Induced Seismicity , presented by Tim Tyrrell and Kris Nygaard of Exx- onMobil-XTO; and Microseismic Fundamentals and Applications, presented by Dr. Jon McKenna of Mi- croseismic Inc.
Around 70 students, mostly seniors with a few ju- niors 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 in- ternships. We are always looking for interesting and useful instructors and courses, so please contact Dr. Mansur Ermila (mermila@mines.edu) if you would like to participate or share an opportunity for a course students would benefit from.
A big thanks to Chevron for their continued support.
