PROGRAM DETAILS



Introduction

This course addresses the basic technical aspects of petroleum industry. It also addresses the detailed economic, risk, fiscal and commercial issues from the perspective of a spectrum of potential corporate participants in large and small international upstream oil and gas projects.

Learning Objectives

The participant will be able to understand the following:

  • Where and how oil and gas accumulates in reservoirs in the Earth’s crust
  • Prospecting and drilling techniques used to find, develop and produce oil and gas
  • What is best practice in the upstream industry
  • About existing and new technologies that facilitate and optimize technical recovery and maximize commercial returns for oil and gas companies
  • How to overcome the technical issue and challenges that confront upstream operators
  • Key upstream performance indicators used to judge finding, development and operating phases of activity
  • Which negotiating and bidding strategies to use in different circumstances
  • Fiscal and contract issues that impact long-term viability of oil and gas field development
  • How risk and cost factors are monitored and managed in typical exploration and production projects

 Target Audience

 This course designed for all non-petroleum engineers who work in the petroleum industry.

 Training Methodology

 The course will include videos from E & P projects across the world and exercises to reinforce learning.
