Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities

Introduction

Participants on this GLOMACS Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training course will gain a good understanding of the concept selection, engineering, functional, processing, construction, project management and cost aspects of oil and gas production and export facilities.

This training course will prepare participants to work with and within multi-disciplinary teams involved in the planning and construction of oil and gas facilities, including of: in-field gathering equipment, processing plant, pipelines, offshore platforms, and subsea facilities.

This Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training course also provides an insight into the roles of the diverse scientific, technical, commercial and business disciplines that contribute to the wider scope of field development planning and execution, with whom development and facilities engineers must communicate and collaborate.

Objectives

By the end of this Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training course, participants will:

• Have an understanding of the scope, function, cost and selection criteria of the full range of oil and gas plant, equipment, structures and vessels
• 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
• Have an overview of the challenges of field development projects, based on a review of case studies of actual projects

Training Methodology

This Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities 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
• Short videos
• Debates and discussions
• Guided self‐study and research
• Quizzes
• Case studies

While performing the workshop exercises, participants will gain experience in the use of 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’.
