Designed for you, if you are...
- A reservoir / petroleum / production / facility / drilling engineer
- A geoscientist
How we build your confidence
This is a five-session online course with lectures supported and illustrated by worked examples, case studies and follow-up exercises, group exercises and quizzes to give assurance that key learnings are accomplished.Since participants may have different levels of background in petroleum economics and statistics there is additionally pre- reading modules to ensure that the fundamental understanding of these topics has been established prior to the course.
The benefits from attending
By the end of the course you will feel confident in:- Understanding the purpose of Field Development Planning
- Critically analysing the principal technical and commercial features of oil and gas properties
- Having a deeper understanding of the role of risk and uncertainty when making field development planning decisions
- Understanding all aspects that appertain to Field Development Planning, including resource size, resource location and reservoir production support mechanism
