Training Services

SCA is a world leader in Upstream Exploration and Production training. From its founding in 1988, SCA has provided leading edge, technical training services around the world to over 19,000 petroleum industry professionals of all experience levels.

Our goal at SCA is to provide a quality training experience that brings added success to our clients. In doing so, SCA is constantly observing and evaluating the needs of the industry. Our curriculum is dynamic, and in the past year we have eliminated some courses, modified others and have added some new and exciting courses to our program.

Currently SCA offers up to 70 different training courses in six categories including: Geology, Geophysics, Engineering, Cross Training, Management, and Field Courses. SCA’s instructors represent a diverse group of recognized authorities in their areas of specialization. Classroom training typically includes real world examples of the concepts, insights and methodologies presented in the course. Where appropriate, many of the courses provide hands on exercises to both teach new skills and test understanding of concepts.
