About the Course

The oil and gas industry has an enormous impact on all aspects of daily life. Individuals, corporations, and national governments make financial and policy decisions based on the cost, use, and availability of these two natural resources. This two-week course looks at the two most fundamental aspects of the oil and gas industry, its operations and markets, each of which is addressed as a separate module in the course. In the operations module, the course provides an overview of the production of oil and gas, from initial exploration to final transport. The second module focuses on the forces that drive the industry's operations, the oil and gas markets, including the cost of wells, seasonal impacts on prices, and the role of oil reserves. After every lesson, learners will take short quizzes to test their newly acquired knowledge, participant in crowd-sourced discussions about global markets, and complete a final project....

Thorough and detailed for a person not worked in Oil & Gas sector. Enjoyed reading the course through its structured pattern. Lectures were clear and the notes below the video lectures aided in my reads (multiple times so that I could internalise the concepts). Practical oriented and hands-on for interview purposes.

Thanks to Prof Lincoln Pratson, Duke University and Course Era platform.

I would like to thank Professor Lincoln Pratson, from Duke University, for sharing part of his experience, teaching a lot about "Oil and Gas Industry: Operations and Market". It was two long and enjoyable weeks learning more (and sharing my point of view) about the energy industry. It is always a great pleasure for me to be aware of the changes and trends of the global market. Hope to learn more from you soon.

Хороший курс. Я окончил Тюменский Индустриальный Университет по разработке и эксплуатации нефтегазовых месторождений и курсы основ нефтегазавого дела в Политехе Санкт-Петербурга, и могу констатировать, что уровень преподаваемых материалов Университета Дьюка полезнее, легче и усваиваемее. Дополнил свои знания, и с пользой провел время. Очень внятный и понятный преподаватель. Рекомендую этот курс.

This course sets the tone for knowing essentials of Oil and Gas. Its biggest advantage is that it provides a structured knowledge so that we know what to know about the industry. I would strongly recommend to anyone who has interest in knowing essentials of oil and gas. Though, I would recommend that the course should have more inputs about markets like China and India and some policy coverage.

I have enjoyed this course immensely, thought due to some personal issues I didn't quite get to put the amount of time into it that I had hoped to. I found it very enlightening regardless and believe it has given me a better understanding of the environment which I work around. I greatly appreciate our professor, Coursera, and Duke University for having put this together and made this possible.

A complete overview of the oil & gas industry, that has widened my tiny knowledge of the sector, which only concerned exploration stage. I highly recommend this course to everyone, especially if they want to work in this industry. Excellent course Duke university; Prof. Lincoln explains comprehensively and concisely, using daily-life examples, so everyone can catch the ideas expressed by him.

Muy buen curso. Explica de una manera muy sencilla lo mas importante de la industria del petróleo y del gas, desde la exploración hasta cómo y por qué fluctúan los precios de los hidrocarburos. Tomé el curso justo después de la caída de precios por la pandemia del coronavirus y toda la teoría del curso tuvo coherencia con la realidad de lo que estábamos viviendo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Good overall introduction to O&G. As an upstream O&G professional, it was useful for learning more about the midstream and downstream aspects of the business.

My only suggestion would be to fix some graphics so that oil charts as a green line, condensate / natural gas liquids plot as orange, dry natural gas plots as red, and water plots as blue (internal industry conventions).

The course was well structured. I got an idea of various processes relating to oil and gas industry such as exploration, drilling and production in case of oil and gas industry operations. Along with this, oil and gas markets are explained. This part basically covers things like what are benchmarks, how to decide price of oil and gas, what is the future of oil and gas, etc.

Very enjoyable course, with easy to understand explanations and graphics provided by professor Pratson. Although coming from a field engineering job in the industry, I learned many things I did not know during my 3 year tenure in the Colombian plains working for a service company. Very recommended for first comers and for veterans who want a refresher.

Coursera oil and gas are very fun and adds to my knowledge as a chemical engineering student at one of the Parahyangan Catholic Universities. The material and delivery are easy to understand, besides that the material presented is quite complete and includes a pdf so that if one day is needed, you can read and re-read the pdf. Thanks, Duke University.
