Petroleum Short Courses

Petroleum Geophysics - Future courses will be announced here. Please visit this page again for updates.

Courses will be taught on the University of Houston campus. The classroom for lecture classes will be announced at a later date. Computer labs will be in Science and Research 1 (Building SR1; 3507 Cullen Blvd., Houston, TX 77204), Room 230. Refer to the UH campus map for directions.

Each course is the equivalent 4 CEUs.
