A Message From Jim Rike:

Technology transfer needs change, and Rike Service changes to fit what you need to maximize productivity. The biggest need now is to accomplish more with fewer people, and with fewer layers of management.

Each decision maker must become a generalist — and Rike courses are tailor-made to that end. Rike saves you time away from the job by offering two-week courses in one-week segments that stand alone.

We continually update all courses. Safety is further enhanced with our design and fabrication courses for pressure vessels. We cover free enterprise operations, especially designed for Russia and Eastern Europe.

New organizations and chains of responsibility require cross-training. You get this with a course for engineers on how to effectively use geophysical data for good reservoir management. The deeper wells, sometimes in hostile environments, require the technology in our new courses on Metallurgy and Welding Technology.

You learn environmental protection without sacrificing profit. You can now get from Rike a whole series of courses on maintenance management, including vibration analysis and failure analysis on anything that runs, compresses, or manipulates.

Total Quality Control is now a must. This means team-building, rather than "throwing the project over the wall." We can facilitate that effort with our TQM instruction, our course on drilling for exploration personnel, a course on production engineering for production supervisors, and Producing Petroleum for Non-Technical Personnel for accountants, executive secretaries, attorneys, etc. We have courses with similar objectives in creative communication, negotiating, writing and maintenance management. Call us to discuss a special program focused on your current organizational goal.

Our programs save you money. Training doesn’t cost — it pays. It will cost more if you fail to train properly. We can help the tight budgets, though; we can tailor an in-house course to fit exactly the people you have and the problems you encounter.

Rike has fine-tuned four Colleges in the Drilling, Completions, Reservoir, and Production. These series are complete, with graded homework, tests, and required demonstrated proficiency. An employee who satisfactorily completes a Rike College is ready to take charge of that area.

We guarantee our work. We believe that if your profit didn’t improve, we didn’t provide good consulting services. We believe that if the learner didn’t learn, the teacher didn’t teach!
