Courses Offered

Hugh W. Reid & Assoc. Ltd. offers three courses to help with your exploration and production. Follow the links at the left to find out details about each course and to register. If you can't attend the scheduled course dates, consider running a private in-house course or hosting an overseas course.  Contact us to make arrangements.

Private In-House Courses

All three seminars listed in this website can be offered as an "in-house" course for a single company (or two smaller companies, see examples). The advantages of in-house courses include:

• Confidential company examples may be discussed in class.
• Topics of greater interest to a particular company can be emphasized and those of lower interest covered in less detail.
• The companies problem DSTs can be partially used as class examples.
• Costs per person are considerably less, however the company would provide the lecture room and audio/visual equipment and photocopy the manuals.

All three seminars are offered overseas from time to time via foreign agents or technical societies such as I.P.A. (Indonesian Petroleum Association). Other countries where we have held public courses previously include: Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Libya, Malaysia, Scotland, Thailand, Vietnam. If you wish to inquire about upcoming foreign courses or suggest a venue, please email hugh@hughwreid.com.
