Introduction
The significance of petroleum engineering has become an important element in the oil industry. It provides the required technology to keep the daily supply of crude oil and natural gas. Petroleum engineering includes a combination of technical and non-technical activities. Non-technical staff will be more productive if they gain a full understanding of the fundamentals of the industry. This highly participative training course aims to provide the non-technical staff involved in the oil industry with an extensive overview of petroleum engineering concepts and features. The training course adopts an integral approach for clarification starting from the initial oil exploration and up to the adopted methods to increase oil production and ultimate recovery. Furthermore, the training course covers the overall oil field life cycle and the basics of petroleum economics. This training course includes some special observations on the current and future challenges in the oil industry. The Petroleum Engineering for Non-Specialists training course adopts a flexible approach to clarify the overall concepts and aspects of petroleum engineering in addition to valuable notes on the current and future challenges in the oil industry.
