Petroleum Data Analytics
The graduate certificate in Petroleum Data Analytics provides an introduction to advanced data analytics in the digital oilfield.
Students receive a comprehensive overview of the fundamental building blocks of the digital oilfield from the convergence of operational technology (field instrumentation and control systems) with the corporate information technology infrastructure, along with an understanding of the data foundation for a typical oil and gas exploration and production company and the challenges of “Big Data” to oilfield operations (volumes, variety, velocity and data quality).
