Who Should Attend
The SuperSchool is especially designed for new engineers with a non-petroleum engineering background, new geologists and geophysicists, operations personnel, and non-technical management personnel. Past attendees have been from companies such as: Aera Energy, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Marathon, Saudi Aramco, PVDSA, PEMEX, Schlumberger, Whiting, El Paso E&P Company, US Army and US DOE.
Teaching Philosophy
Classes are taught with small groups, authentic problems, and timely feedback to provide a vibrant learning environment. This approach makes the SuperSchool more of a workshop than a lecture course. Problem solving with real world field cases are used, together with hands-on experiences in the state-of-the-art computer lab, two days of field trips, and oral presentations. A certificate of completion will be awarded at the end of the school.
