The course is designed to give participants an appreciation of the evaluation and planning activities associated with taking an asset from pre-discovery to sanction.
Designed for: The course is designed for petroleum engineers, geoscientists, facilities engineers, commercial staff and other disciplines who expect to play a part in evaluating, screening and maturing oil and gas field development opportunities. The course is most effective when delivered to a mixed discipline group.
Duration
Learning Level
Tools and methodologies are provided and practiced to illustrate how to deliver an assured project in a timely fashion. NOTE: Land and offshore versions of this course are available.
A two-day session to explore reservoir, well, facility and commercial technology and business drivers is followed by a syndicate project (1.5 days) in which participant groups have to mature an opportunity from discovery to pre-sanction. The course closes after each syndicate has presented their projects to a “board of directors” for sanction.
Designing the process
Production development strategy; well sequencing
Content can be tailored to run from 3 to 5 days.
