Certificate Programs

Sample Certificate Programs

Certificate programs provide focused training in specialized areas of technology sequences of two or more courses comprise these programs, which can be of value to satisfy current job skills requirements and professional governmental certification requirements.  Where needed, Texas A&M University can provide CEU (Continuing Education Unit) certifications for these programs.  This appendix suggests example certificate programs, but others can be readily developed when clients request other alternatives. You DO NOT need to apply to the university to gain a certificate.

Petroleum Engineering Principles and Practices
This Certificate is for those who have backgrounds in math, physical science, and/or other engineering disciplines who have an interest in the petroleum industry.
PETE 661 - Drilling Engineering
PETE 662 - Production Engineering
PETE 663 - Formation Evaluation and Reservoir Performance
PETE 664 - Petroleum Project Evaluation and Management
PETE 665 - Reservoir Engineering

Reserves and Evaluation
Two courses leading to a certificate in reserves and evaluation will be offered. The first course will focus on deterministic reserves estimation methods and cash-flow analysis techniques appropriate to evaluate projected revenue streams. The second course will discuss probabilistic reserves estimation methods and economic analysis techniques that consider risk and uncertainty in detail. Students will have access to commercial software for computations.
