The Diploma in Hydrocarbon Data Mining provides you with the analytical tools necessary to extract value from data and optimize decision-making in the exploration, production, transportation, and marketing of hydrocarbons.
Through a practical and multidisciplinary approach, you will learn to apply data mining, machine learning, and advanced analytics techniques to geological, production, and market information.
You will learn:
– Identify patterns and trends in large volumes of data.
– Apply predictive models to improve operational efficiency based on upstream knowledge
– Integrate analytics tools into energy sector projects.
– Design evidence-based strategies for hydrocarbon management.
Nicolás del Fiol - Graduate
"The diploma program gave me tools and knowledge that helped me solidify everything I had been learning in my undergraduate degree, because it doesn't just cover data analysis; it also includes subjects like Geology, Thermodynamics, and others that help to level the playing field. This allows the diploma program to benefit not only those with backgrounds in hydrocarbons, but also people who studied other fields, such as Accounting, Law, and others."
Personally, I learned to use tools like Jupyter Notebook, I learned to use Machine Learning, and my final project dealt with the correlation between agricultural production and the climatological conditions of the Cuyo region. The final project is very intensive and very worthwhile, and it's supported by the professors, who guide the process and help refine the data presented.
I highly recommend it: for the learning experience, because it allows you to further your training with the Master's in Oil and Gas Management, and because data analysis is in high demand in the industry today. It's precisely here that you learn everything the industry is demanding."

"Although I am an engineer, I'm not from the hydrocarbons sector, and I found the entire schedule of courses I took spectacular. I loved discovering a new world, mixing engineering with new economics subjects; it was all new to me, and I loved it."
"I found it incredibly enriching. The quality of the teachers, how they teach, the materials they provide on campus... Everything made the experience very rewarding."
"I didn't know how to program, and all the teacher support we received was spectacular. I always felt that there was someone there to help and support me in the learning process."
"Also, the bond that forms between groups of friends is really nice. I've kept many friends from last year, and that was also one of the most valuable things I gained from the diploma program."
This Diploma is aimed at professionals who seek to apply Data Mining, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence tools in highly complex industrial environments.
