Upstream professionals receive a solid intro to main machine learning methods and hands-on experience in data science & machine learning.

Thank you very much for your registration! Our training team will get back to you shortly with further details.

DESCRIPTION: The course aims to provide upstream professionals with a comprehensive introduction to the main machine learning methods and builds hands-on experience in data science and machine learning.Through the course, you will develop a solid understanding of supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms including advanced topics such as deep learning and machine learning models explainability.The course is designed to build up your confidence from scratch: Starting with an introduction of each method in simple terms, followed by detailed guidelines on how to apply different machine learning methods for solving actual problems from reservoir engineering, geo-modelling, and petrophysics. The knowledge obtained from the course - in combination with carefully designed code examples - can be applied by the participants in ongoing and future projects, thus increasing their overall performance.

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS:&quot;Excellent opportunity for subsurface professionals to dive into AI and machine learning. Lector has great teaching skills. The course has opened my eyes to how my daily engineering routine can be done more efficiently. Now I am well equipped with necessary knowledge as well as ready-to-use programming code.&quot; - Senior Reservoir Engineer at Belorusneft

&quot;I almost cancelled the course because I didn&#x27;t believe that I will get the value from the course from online session. Luckily I didn&#x27;t do it, the online session was amazing. The 4 hours per day is enough to drain all the brain power for the day and twice a week course enable us to train during the course. I would say this is even better than the original 5 days in the row. I can imagine with 8 hours/day for 5 days I will be highly saturated with information and would not be able to absorb as much as in comparison with the 4 hours 2x a week format. I am really thankful for this recommendation and option for the course timing.&quot; – Reservoir Engineer at Wintershall

&quot;The course would not have been possible face to face because current project work would not have allowed my participation then. The online mode, especially due to splitting the course over several weeks, allowed a good compromise to split course and project work. I also liked the ready-made workbooks. I can apply these to my own data without much changes.&quot; – Principal Geoscientist at HOT

&quot;I liked the examples and the way the instructor explained the logic behind without going deeply into the codes.&quot; – Reservoir Engineer at Wintershall
