1. 1.1-1 DOE Managers Seminar on Oil and Gas Drilling Technology Bob Knoll Jerome Schubert November 5-7, 2003 Morgantown, WV

2. 1.1-2 Instructors Bob Knoll R.G. (Bob) Knoll is President of H-Tech. in Calgary, and the Canadian representative for Maurer Technology Inc. (MT) � a subsidiary of Noble Corporation, and the managing group for numerous DEA joint industry projects. Bob�s 32-yr. career is uniquely diverse. A graduate Geologist from Nova Scotia, he started off as a Maintenance Roustabout on first generation semi-submersibles operating offshore Canada. After working up the drilling contractor side of the industry to a Tool-pusher level on offshore drilling projects globally, Bob moved over to the operator side as a Drilling Engineer for Dome Petroleum in the high Arctic. Another series of global postings and advancement to OIM level led to a Senior Drilling and Completions Specialist position for Husky Oil in advanced drilling/completion technology. � In 1987 Bob formed H-Tech. and immediately became Canadian liaison for the DEA-44 Horizontal Technology Project. In that role he conducted well design, project management, technical audits, well history reviews, expert witness, etc., on horizontal and complex well applications around the globe. In 1991 he initiated a technical training program for the DEA-44 project members on multidiscipline horizontal well technology, and since then has authored and delivered over 250 technical training programs to over 5,500 Managers, Engineers, and Earth Scientists in every major oil and gas area in the world. Bob continues to teach a commercial asset team cross-training program for the Petroskills training consortium (BP SHELL Saudia-Aramco, Oxy, etc.) globally. � Bob often acts as a consultant �team leader� on Exploitation projects, and delivers customized training programs globally for Operator asset teams, Major Service Suppliers and numerous Government and Industry organizations (SPE, AAPG, CIM, DOE/PTTC). � Bob makes his home and primary office in Calgary, Alberta. Bob is married with 3 adult children, is an avid golfer and skier, and acts as Board member and Audit Committee Chairman for a publicly traded O&G service Income Trust, �Wellco�. R.G.

3. 1.1-3 Instructors Jerome Schubert Dr. Jerome J. Schubert is Senior Lecturer and Assistant Research Engineer for The Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University. He wrote the proposal to and was granted approval by the United States Minerals Management Service to conduct MMS certified well control courses for industry personnel involved in drilling, workover/completion, and well servicing. Dr. Schubert handles all teaching, administrative, and marketing of this well control training program. In addition to teaching well control courses at Texas A&M, he taught similar courses for four years at the University of Houston/Victoria-Petroleum Training Institute. He also taught courses in drilling practices, workover and completion, and log interpretation at UH/V. � Dr. Schubert, teaches undergraduate courses in petroleum development, drilling engineering, well control, and drilling and production systems, as well as graduate courses in well control. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas with 10 years industrial experience as a drilling engineer for Pennzoil Company and Enron Oil & Gas. In addition, he is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Texas. � Dr. Schubert wrote the Well Control Manual used in the department's well control courses and has published on early kick detection through liquid level monitoring in the wellbore. � Education Ph.D., Texas A&M University, 1999 M.E., Texas A&M University, 1995 B.S., Texas A&M University, 1978 Dr. Jerome J.

4. 1.1-4 Course Outline Introduction to course 1.1 Types of drilling rigs 1.2 Rig Systems 1.3 Circulating 1.3.1 The course is a whirlwind tour of Oil and Gas Drilling. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have, but we are going to cover a lot of ground in a short time. We are not planning on going into great detail. Lesson 1 is just an introduction of the instructors and the course. Bob and I will be switching off to cover different topics. We will both sometimes chime in when the other is lecturing.The course is a whirlwind tour of Oil and Gas Drilling.
