The Applied Petroleum Technology Academy ("APTA") is a non-profit organization created to teach energy companies how to apply cost-effective technology in order to extend the lives of aging oil and gas fields around the world. APTA's mission statement is simple:

"To provide practical training of oilfield practices in a mature oilfield environment emphasizing cost savings with ample opportunity for field visitation."

Hands-on Practical Training

Headquartered in Midland, Texas - in the heart of the Permian Basin - APTA can provide access to hands-on practical training based on decades of experience. Our curriculum can be customized to meet the specific needs of our clients with respect to both their levels of experience and to the types of fields they are dealing with. APTA's curriculum is designed to cover all aspects of petroleum production.

2008 Accomplishments

During 2008, APTA developed and presented a CO₂ "Operations Workshop" in Casper, Wyoming, in August. It was a 2 1/2 day classroom and 1/2 day field trip workshop for the RMOTC (Rocky Mountain Oilfield Training Center) who asked for the workshop for the DOE CO₂ pilot at Tea Pot Dome. In addition we had our normal twice-yearly CO₂ school in Midland, Texas, one in January and one in August. That school is a 4-day school, with one day devoted to a field trip.
