Elvee Energy Training: 04 to 08 August, 2025 / 7.00pm to 9.00pm daily on Zoom (WAT/UTC+1)

Pore pressure related operational well safety and positive petroleum results are the most important goals in the oil and gas industry. Personnel who are not skilled in formation evaluation, pore pressure monitoring and well follow up, are not considered essential operational staff. Those who are, build a formidable career in this in-depth task, and continually optimize operational efficiency. This training is for candidates seeking to meet these goals.
