Integrated Field Development Planning

INTRODUCTION

Participants on this Integrated Field Development Planning training course will gain a good understanding of how multi-disciplinary, integrated teams within oil and gas companies collaborate to identify the best way to develop an oil or gas field.

This Oil & Gas training course highlights the roles of the wide range of scientific, technical, commercial and business disciplines that contribute to making complex decisions, involving very large investments, while dealing with large amounts of uncertainty.

This GLOMACS training course is designed to equip early- and mid-career professionals (geoscience, engineering and commercial) for working within integrated, multi-disciplinary teams on international development projects, and for future oil business leadership roles.

Objectives

By the end of this Integrated Field Development Planning training course, participants will:

• Have an understanding of the work of the integrated field development planning team on international oil and gas projects
• Have practical skills and work tools that will be of direct use to them in their future project work
• Understand the background to the industry, and the underlying science of oil and gas formation
• Recognise the importance of effective early planning decisions (concept selection and ‘front-end loading’) in delivering successful projects

Training Methodology

This Integrated Field Development Planning training course is both practical and theoretical, and is delivered by means of:

• Interactive presentations and tutorials
• Team and individual workshop exercises
• Onscreen worked examples
• Videos and posters
• Debates and discussions
• Guided self‐study and research
• Quizzes
• Case studies

While performing the workshop exercises, participants will gain experience in the use of modern online (cloud) team collaboration information tools and strategies that are becoming key to professional development in this era of fast-evolving technology, fast-track projects, online collaboration, joint decision making, and ‘information overload’.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This Integrated Field Development Planning training course is relevant to a wide range of disciplines, including: development engineering; facilities engineering; geoscience; reservoir engineering; planning; risk analysis, portfolio planning, decision support, commercial strategy; etc.

This GLOMACS training course is particularly suitable for upstream oil and gas professionals, from all disciplines, that want to:

• Gain an understanding of how their role fits into the ‘bigger picture’ of asset development, and the oil business in general
• Prepare for greater involvement and leadership roles in field development, strategic management and decision making
• Equip themselves for working within close-knit, value-focused, multi-disciplinary, fully-integrated asset development teams working on complex, large-scale projects
• Gain an understanding of the very broad scope of field development engineering, and the complexity and challenges of facilities engineering on mega projects
