    Comments from our clients

    The content is excellent and easy to understand even to a non-PT or RE. I love the simplicity and authentic nature of the lectures.

    The transcripts are very good for following your lectures in a ‘note’ form. Real world examples and applications help the user relate to his/her job.

    - Shell Geologist

    The site is user friendly and interactive. I really liked the fact that the history of views, searches, etc is always stored. Your way of explaining everything by getting back to the basics, to the most fundamental equations and illustrating them by real examples, I just loved it!

    I think for me as a junior this is a great training to have, especially that it covers thoroughly the petroleum system starting from geology, reservoir to production.

    However, this is as well an excellent refresher for non junior engineers. This is because as the daily work absorbs the engineer, he steps away from the fundamentals. So, a cyclic refresher is of a great help and the site is very useful in this regard.

    - OMV Production Engineer

    This is exactly what I have been looking for since I started learning about Production Engineering – the fundamental concepts very well explained and concise. I am not aware of any text book that it explains anywhere near as well.

    - Chevron Production Engineer

    I would like to express my gratitude for your online course. It is an outstanding learning system in its own class and a unique opportunity for us professionals and carrier starters to deepen and better organize our professional knowledge, understand and deal better with the everyday engineering tasks that are challenging us.

    During my university studies I had already learned a lot about the theory of petroleum engineering themes, but you could discuss and present the whole topic in a way which made the practical understanding and usage of petroleum engineering subjects for me easier.
