SUPER
SCHOOL OBJECTIVES
Cooperative effort is increasingly important in the petroleum industry
as teams of geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and operations personnel
work together to solve complex problems. This school is designed to
provide the techncial fundamentals needed for effective teamwork across
the breadth of activities in the upstream petroleum industry.

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, Mobil, Marathon,
ConocoPhillips, Schlumberger, Sonat Exploration Co., Transocean Offshore
Inc., Union Pacific Resources, U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Army.
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.
LOCATION
The SuperSchool will be held on the campus of the Colorado School
of Mines in Golden, Colorado. Golden is located approximately 15 miles
west of downtown Denver at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The SuperSchool
will include two field trips.
FEES
AND REGISTRATION
The cost of the three-week SuperSchool is $7,500, which includes course
materials, manuals, reference materials, and coffee breaks. Payment
for the SuperSchool must accompany the application form.
