MODULES
This training course is split into two modules:
MODULE I - Fractured & Unconventional Reservoir Modelling
MODULE II - Advanced Seismic Interpretation
Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
