CEUs are standardized units of nonacademic credit that are nationally recognized. Certain licensing agencies and many employers acknowledge CEUs as a way to record professional training.

The following licensing agencies have approved PETEX courses for professional development credits for their Texas members:• The American Association of

Petroleum Landmen grants credits for Petroleum Fundamentals, Elementary Drilling, Introduction to Offshore Operations, Pipeline Technol-ogy, and Professional Land Manage-ment courses.

• The Texas Department of Public Accountancy awards CPEs for Intro-duction to Offshore Operations, Petro-leum Fundamentals, and Elementary Drilling courses. No prerequisites required on any of these courses.

• The Texas Department of Insur-ance awards CEs for Introduc-tion to Offshore Operations and Petroleum Fundamentals courses. To be awarded CEs, there is an added $25 administration fee to be paid at the time of enrollment.

• The Texas State Bar grants three hours of MCLEs for the Introduction to Offshore Operations course and has approved credits for courses within the Professional Land Management Certificate Program. The Oklahoma State Bar has also approved pro-fessional credits for some courses offered within this program.

The number of hours awarded for the successful completion of a course is listed at the beginning of each course description. If you are a member of a professional organization from a state other than Texas or a foreign country, your organization might award pro-fessional credits based on these Texas approvals. Call 512.475.9024 for more information.

Texas Professional Engineers (P.E.) Continuing Education Requirements

All Texas Professional Engineers (P.E.) are required to have proof of 15 hours of continuing education activ-ity for annual license renewal. The Texas Board of Professional Engineers (TBPE) does not require official docu-mentation upon license renewal but does maintain the final authority to audit and review licensee’s renewal information. However, TBPE asks that licensees keep records documenting their continuing education activities for three years.

PETEX offers:

• Continuing Education Units (CEUs): Upon successful completion of a PETEX course, you will earn a speci-fied number of CEUs, credit custom-arily used for continuing education courses. To meet the minimum annual continuing education activ-ity requirement, Texas P.E.s need to earn 1.5 CEUs, including one hour (or 0.1 CEU) of professional ethics training.

• Documentation: PETEX provides a Completion Certificate detailing the course title, dates attended, and amount of CEUs earned. This docu-ment adequately provides proof of continuing education activities by the TBPE standards. If further documentation is required, PETEX can assist you.

Preventive Deepwater Well Control2.4 CEus Examines how an influx of fluid behaves in the well, what is happening downhole, how to design wells to minimize the impact of kicks, which control procedures should be used, and the importance of kick tolerance and leak-off testing in the kick risk man-agement process. Traditional well control certification schools have placed heavy emphasis on using mechanical equipment such as choke valves, gauges, and pumps to circulate an influx of fluids out of the well us-ing constant bottomhole pressure techniques. Today’s challenging deepwater drilling envi-ronments make it necessary for operations personnel to understand more than basic well control techniques. This course is designed to complement and enrich a certification course and to establish a foundation for the Advanced Deepwater Well Control and the Well Design Seminar. Course Content• History of well control• U-Tube calculations and concepts and

static and dynamic assessment• Oil and gas behavior in water and SBM

muds and gas migration• Causes of kicks and kick detection;

kick detection equipment calibration and accuracy

Deepwater Well System Design1.6 CEus A seminar that looks at more robust well design planning methods such that inher-ent weaknesses or limitations of a design become readily apparent. In the past two years, four serious well control incidents have occurred during offshore drilling operations. In each, the well design and construction team did not properly evalu-ate the risk. Anticipating unforseen events is a fundamental part of the planning pro-cess so that if an operations team makes a mistake or encounters an unanticipated downhole condition, the results become manageable and devastating consequenc-es are less likely to occur. Course Content• Margins: what the well can withstand

and absolute pressure vs. pressure gradient

• Modes of failure of a deepwater well: importance of ΔT and well simplifica-tion

• Impacts on well design: water injection in a mature field, maximum pressures that could occur and impact of oil-based mud

• Limits of a well design: alternatives (costs vs. mitigations) and BSEE (BOEMRE) well classification

• Horizontal wells: some added con-cerns

• Normally pressured wells

recommended ForTechnical professionals involved in well design and other personnel seeking to understand the process of evaluating risks and the well design techniques used to mitigate those risks. Dates Houston May 14–15, 2012 • Aug. 13–14, 2012 • Dec. 10–11, 2012Length: 2 daysCost: $3,000
