Course Format

The EAGE Interactive Online Short Courses bring carefully selected courses of experienced instructors from industry and academia online to give participants the possibility to follow the latest education in geoscience and engineering remotely. The courses are designed to be easily digested over the course of two or three days. Participants will have the possibility to interact live with the instructor and ask questions. 

Education Packages

To help you save on registration fees and better organize your learning path, we are offering Education Packages for all Interactive Online Short Courses and Online EETs. The packages are valid for a period of 12 months, choose between packages of 3, 5 and 10 credits. 

Course Description

1. What is the cloud?
A summary of what the cloud is including an introduction to the three most popular clouds in use today in the industry. The summary will include a breakdown of the tools available to cloud users and some basic concepts about cost, and a few examples of workloads that you should consider using the cloud for.

2. The difference between Public Clouds and Private Clouds.
There are fundamental differences between clouds that are Private and Public, and numerous misconceptions about which is best, more secure, and the most scalable. Included a few real work examples of systems that are Private and Public and why one should consider the options carefully.

3. What does the cloud enable why use it?
The cloud is such an important part of our ecosystem now and will continue to be in the future. The key reasons why it should be used will include scalability, security, evergreening, reliability, cost, and the tools enabled by the cloud systems such as AI and ML.

4. Cloud Security Awareness
There are a lot of misconceptions about cloud security. We will look at a few security breaches, why they occurred, how to prevent them, and the additional security features available to cloud users to help protect their data.

5. The movement to Geophysics in “real time” in the Cloud
With the advance of the SpaceX constellation, real time data streaming in remote area seven high volume low latency will become possible. This is going to mean survey data can be looked at, QC’ed, and used essentially in real time as it arrives in a cloud account. This is going to move the Geo closer to the data flows, and create a more dynamic exploration system that can make decision while the survey is still being recorded, rather than far later.

6. The movement to “Big Data” from “Small Data”
The oil sector has never in its history had the opportunity to have access to all of their data, all of the time. Using small sample data sets, subsets of surveys, to explore will no longer be necessary as the cloud continues to grow. 

Throughout the course a number of providers of cloud computing solutions will be introduced. EAGE is not affiliated, associated or endorsed by any of these or their subsidiaries, for the delivery of this course.
