H-Tech. Petroleum Consulting Inc. is an independent consulting firm offering technical guidance, counsel and training to oil & gas operators, service providers, regulators, state and other related entities directly or indirectly involved in exploitation with complex (horizontal) wells and all the advanced technologies.

More details and a full CV of H-Tech’s founder and lead instructor, Robert (Bob) Knoll, can be found under the “Contact Us” tab.

Below is a condensed 5 minute video showing Bob`s dynamic presentation style. The topic is fundamental change in the “driller’s role” from conventional vertical well drilling, to that of productive interval construction in complex well exploitation. The final segment of the clip includes an economic perspective of the “Resource Play” term.

Video Viewers, PLEASE NOTE: The specific clip used on this video may seem extreme in respect to the instructor’s mannerism.  Just prior to the start of filming, numerous students had expressed the difficulty encountered in getting the “driller” on side with the long term team goals. In an effort to address this dynamic, Bob is deliberately presenting the aggressive and direct attitude that drillers and field supervisory staff often exude. The viewer is advised that the  aggressive mannerism employed by the instructor for this specific issue is not representative of the typical class dynamics, but does honestly represent the passion and energy Bob  employs when teaching.
