 Distance Learning Module Available Soon
There are already additional topics and experts in mind
following this module—gas shale development is just one.
Another avenue where PTTC anticipates using
online video is capturing brief (10-15 min.) clips from
technology developers. This effort will efficiently connect
producers with a myriad of developer technologies. Watch PTTC's
website (www.pttc.org)
for further information.
Over time, we anticipate there will be quite a
collection of products and services for busy producers to
peruse. There will be occasion, as we've already done with a
presentation on horizontal drilling in mature reservoirs, where
we capture more extended presentations. Contact us if you have a
technology idea that can be briefed in the form of a video clip
to be shown on the website.
There has already been an
unforeseen use of the video approach. It is not always possible
for speakers or attendees to meet at the same time and location
for physical workshops. However, a provider with a highly
relevant technology was unable to be in California for a recent
West Coast workshop so the 15 minute presentation was recorded
ahead of time and played during the workshop. Q&A took place
normally with questions answered remotely over the phone and
tied into the PA system. The technology fit in with the workshop
and was able to be included in the program.
Distance learning potential is real and not meant
to replace face-to-face meetings. Rather, the goal is to fit the
busy schedules that the industry demands of us all and allow
development of knowledge and provide a vehicle for technology
transfer effectively. By capturing even a fraction of the
workshop experience presented each year, a growing wealth of
knowledge will populate the website and allow industry to learn
from their desks. |
