Nice course but the peer assignment is awful.

I really appreciate Prof. Pratson's professionalism and help during the course of learning "Oil and Gas Industry Operations and Markets". His invaluable knowledge and experience helped me form a sound understanding of the Oil & Gas Industry's specifics and gather certain insights. Best regards, Alisher Akramov

This course gave me a good overview of Oil and Gas industry. Its market and operations.

It was a great learning and the insights of the oil and gas industry.

a very interesting topic covered in a very precise and accurate way

Quite interesting. A good introduction to the subject.

Interesting course about oil and gas industry

Great course, fare better then expectations!

Good overview, very informative content

Comprehensive but concise and usefull

Great course, I learned a lot

great Oil an gas learning!

very helpful

It is a very good opportunity for me to refresh my understanding over the whole petroleum industry value chain, from upstream exploration and production to downstream refining and marketing. The overall structure of the course is very good, my only suggestion is that it will be even greater if Dr. Pratson could instruct the lecture with daily speaking English instead of reading the formal written English from the prompter.

Very good course to learn the basics of the Oil and Gas industry.

Excellent content and a very good teacher.

It would be worth repeating with updated information and in a more international context (not just the United States).

Good Course to get an insight on how things work in the Oil and Gas Sector.

Good course for basic understanding of the oil and gas market.

Great course, I recommend it.

The material itself is quite comprehensive, short, and acts as a good introductory course for beginners. The reason I gave the course 3 stars is due to its grading scheme for the final report. I applaud the course administrator's in attempting to create more collaboration amongst students and providing learning opportunities through the peer review system. However, the peer review system does not seem very effective at the end of the day in judging an individual's learning outcomes and grading individuals in a constructive manner. Some course participants merely submitted empty files, or even entirely plagiarized materials - and most of the time, the system is extremely easy for participants to game by simply giving one another good scores. The assignment submitted by participants is not that lengthy to begin with. I believe it would be better if there are designated administrators or mentors that can oversee the grading of the final assignments and leave some constructive feedback for participants.

I completed all tasks, ut I could not obtain any certificate.

I don"t get my certificate after complet all course

For those already in the industry, it gives immense detail of what the Oil & Gas industry is all about and makes decision making more objective as a non-Geoscientist/Engineer. I learned more about Oil prospecting and the geology of various oil reservoir and how it affects the economic reserves of a business. Also learnt how oil and gas mining can be effectively done to enable profitable exploitation before a well is considered uneconomical or plugged. Different pricing structures and how prices vary in the world was also another important knowledge gained in this Course. For those who are new to the Oil & Gas industry, this is a must-attend course, it prepares you for the challenges ahead. For those already in the industry, it allows comprehension of the industry easier and makes decision making more objective as a non-Geoscientist/Engineer

I recently had the opportunity to enroll in the "Oil and Gas Operations and Market" course offered by Coursera, taught by Lincoln Pratson. As someone with little to no knowledge about the extraction of oil and gas from the Earth's crust, I found this course to be incredibly well-taught and organized, making it accessible to beginners like myself.

One of the standout features of this course is the clear and concise manner in which the topics are presented. Lincoln Pratson does an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable content. Whether it's discussing the process of oil and gas extraction or explaining the intricacies of the market, each topic is well-defined and explained thoroughly, ensuring that learners with no prior knowledge can grasp the material.

This is a great course that summed up all I was taught during my bachelor's degree. In this course, in as much as the lectures are brief and concise, they are also easy to comprehend. It explains activities in the oil and gas industry ranging from land acquisition, exploration, production, refining through to marketing to the final consumer and even the use of all fragments of the the refined products.

As a young and upcoming petroleum engineer, I believe a course like this will help me get a firm grasp of the industry so as to make meaningful impact.

I am grateful to Duke University, Coursera and the reputable institution that helped me financially to gain a certificate for this course.

I am compelled to express my utmost satisfaction with the experience. Throughout the duration of the course, I acquired a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of the oil and gas industry, from exploration to production. The curriculum provided in-depth insights into technical aspects such as drilling techniques, reservoir management, and refining processes. Additionally, I developed proficiency in crucial skills including safety protocols, environmental compliance, and project management within the context of oil and gas operations. Moreover, the course fostered a deeper appreciation for the industry's complexity and the critical role it plays in global energy markets.
