CTI Training & Seminars
CTI is offering a number of seminars and courses for the oil & gas and environmental sectors.
Surface Geochemical Exploration Methods (SGE) for Oil & Gas: Theory, concepts, methods and their applications, case histories, gas data evaluations, limitations, pitfalls, statistical records, industry records on various methods, summary and recommendations.
This 2 - 3 day course is widely considered to be the best course in industry; experience is based on CTI's 20 year history and $8 million effort evaluating various SGE methods for the oil & gas industry.
Course instructors: von der Dick / Bosman
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geochemical Exploration Lead (GEL): a new approach in surface geochemistry to reconstruct micro-seep signals and to evaluate exploration acreages and prospects.
This ½ - 1 day course focuses on CTI's GEL technology, providing technical background, concept, early field observations and conclusions, the development of GEL, GEL surveys and case histories, GEL failures, limitations and opportunities in day-to-day operations for the search for new oil & gas deposits.
Course instructors: von der Dick / Bosman / Briceño
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geochemical Subsurface Geochemical Exploration (SSGE): The role of geochemistry in exploration; origin of oil and gas, the source rock concept, sedimentary regimes for coal and source rock deposition, geochemical procedures to assess hydrocarbon potential; thermal maturity, coalification, and the generation of hydrocarbons; the kinetics of oil and gas generation, modeling oil and gas generation, time-temperature history and constraints for hydrocarbon generation; the migration of hydrocarbons; geochemical fingerprinting methods for oil-oil, gas-gas, oil-source rock correlation; numerical fingerprinting methods for deeper reservoir potential; the geochemistry of seeps and their relation to deeper oil and gas deposits; geochemical constraints for the direct production of HC from their source beds; geochemical programs for exploration and routine applications of geochemical concepts in the search for hydrocarbons.
This 2 - 4 day course provides in-depth information on the value and application of geochemical concepts in exploration.
Course instructor: von der Dick
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reservoir Geochemistry (RG): Applications of geochemical methods to address and solve problems in reservoir production.
This ½ day course outlines procedures to predict and assess reservoir fluid properties from a geochemical point of view.
Course instructor: von der Dick
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carbonate and Sulfur Geochemistry (C&SG): depositional environments for carbonate and sulphate sedimentation; biochemical and thermal reactions within the sulfur - carbonate system affecting reservoired hydrocarbons. Predictive models to assess areas and depth horizons with potential for adverse reservoir fluid changes and reactions.
This ½ day course gives an overview on the occurrence and constraints of reservoir H2S and it's adverse effects on reservoir exploitation.
Course instructor: von der Dick / Briceño
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forensic Geochemistry and Biotechnology (EGB): The definition and concept of Forensic Geo-/Biotechnology; geochemical and biochemical/biotechnical procedures applied in environmental studies; procedures for the reconstruction of contamination processes; the forensic search for sources and origin of contamination according to the "polluter pay" principle; natural attenuation, bioremediation and biological applications in spillage situations; the Exxon Valdez disaster as a case history; bio-/geochemical and gene-coding techniques to track and identify varies cargos and goods in transit; applications for the insurance and criminal investigation sector.
This ½ -1 day course provides in-depth information on procedures and applications for the environmental sector that go beyond the level of law-induced or regulated procedures. Cases are shown, how detailed and designed programs can answer critical questions such as "who did what where at what time".
Course instructors: von der Dick / Sleat

Further CTI education is in preparation; CTI is also prepared to tailor presentations and education according to your specific needs. A condition for this is the specific needs to fall under the various expertise of CTI and its associates.
