Abstract :
Exxon Production Research Company (EPR) is one of two Exxon organizations that provide professional technical training in oil production for Exxon´s worldwide operating affiliates. This training is highly job-oriented and is designed to include the latest developments in production technology. While various types of training are involved, the main types are in-house and on-site classroom training. Training needs are determined by interaction between EPR and the users of the training. Members of our research and development staff serve as instructors. In a few instances, the lecture is no longer used as the major means of transmitting information to the learner. Training is evaluated by before-and-after tests, performance reviews, and student critiques.
