    Geology field trips

    Bringing geology insights to the surface

    Geology can be studied in the classroom, but it can be better understood in the field. Learning by doing puts things into their proper scale, context, and perspective. Visiting formations, field operations, and well sites helps you grasp how geological concepts work in the real world. Our expanded-learning modules include integrated interpretation and modeling with interactive training in software applications, including the industry-standard Petrel E&P software platform.

    Industry-leading instruction.
    World-class geology destinations.

    Our field trips deliver powerful learning experiences taught by leaders in their fields—experts with decades of industry and real-world experience. From snorkeling across recent carbonate sediments around Abu Dhabi Island to hiking through the sand-rich system of the Tabernas basin in southern Spain, NExT field trips take you to geology destinations where broader interpretation insights happen.

    Whether you’re a geoscientist, engineer, or part of a team that needs practical experience related to your day-to-day work, NExT has a field trip for you.

    NExT geology field trips broaden your understanding with first-hand experiences in field formations evaluation, log and core analysis, and 3D reservoir modeling. Field trip course topics include

    • Faults and fractures
    • Rift zones
    • Shallow carbonates and evaporates
    • Carbonate platforms and reefs
    • Deltaic fan systems
    • Turbidites
    • Fluvial-deltaic and deep-marine clastics

    OIL WELL SIMULATOR

    Enhance learning experience through “oil” well physical simulator.

    The oil well simulator is a physical simulator that uses water and air in place of oil and gas to demonstrate many operations in a real well. The configuration of the simulator enables visualizing the reservoir, wellbore, flowlines, choke performance, and common artificial lift systems. Additionally, the effect of damage removal, pump speed, gas injection rates, and downhole pressure can be analyzed to create optimization opportunities.
