Participants in this training course will gain a fundamental understanding of oil and gas exploration and production. This training covers a wide range of scientific, technical, engineering, management, commercial and business topics, that are key to understanding the complex, and highly interesting, oil and gas industry.
This course is suitable for a wide range of participants, from both technical and non-technical backgrounds, both experienced and new to the industry, who wish to acquire a working knowledge of the industry
Understand the background to, and importance of, the oil and gas industry
Explore a wide range of professional disciplines involved in the industry
Learn about the science behind the formation of oil and gas deposits
Understand how oil and gas assets (reservoirs) are discovered and developed
Learn about the facilities and processing required to transport the oil and gas for sales
Understand the economics that drives the feasibility of oil and gas discoveries
Early career professionals within oil and gas and other energy sectors
Persons within service sector companies that serve the oil and gas industry
Commercial, financial, insurance, and legal professionals with energy interests
Those who are working for the government and non-government organizations that are involved in regulation and oversight
Industry Perspectives. The upstream oil and gas industry from various key ‘perspectives’, such as the oil and gas asset lifecycle, the value chain, the industry players, and the place in society
Geology. The formation of oil and gas and the conditions for the existence of a ‘petroleum system’ from which oil and gas may be produced
Geophysics. How geological structures deep below the earth's surface, and likely to contain oil and gas, are identified using sophisticated seismic and other survey techniques
Petrophysics. The physical and chemical properties of the rock and fluids that make up the reservoir, leading to an understanding of how the oil and gas can be extracted from the rocks and brought to the surface
Reservoir Engineering. How oil and gas that is trapped in a reservoir can be drained in the most efficient way using natural and enhanced recovery mechanisms
Well, Engineering. How oil and gas wells are planned, drilled, tested, operated, and eventually decommissioned and made safe, and the techniques used to improve well performance
Facilities Engineering. The design, construction, and operation of equipment and structures to enable oil and gas emerging from the wells to be transported to a place of sale, for example, an oil refinery
Field Development Planning.
How the integrated, team, drawn from all disciplines (commercial, scientific, and engineering) collaborate to identify the best way to develop a reservoir
Petroleum Economics. The role of economics in the planning of oil and gas developments, to maximize value, including the use of cash flow analysis, time value of money, and investment indicators
Decision Analysis. How the integrated field development team make complex decisions, involving many different types of input parameters, to ensure that very large investments are made rationally and efficiently, using tools such as expected value, sensitivity analysis, decision trees, and Monte Carlo simulation
Production Contracts & Licences. The legal, fiscal, and contractual conditions under which an oil company acquires the right to produce oil or gas, and the way that the revenue and wealth is shared with the host country
Petroleum Resources Management. How quantities of oil and gas in the reservoir (reserves and resources) are calculated, classified, and reported in a consistent manner for management, regulatory and investment and purposes
Corporate Responsibility. How oil and gas projects are executed safely and sustainably, with due respect for the environment, and it a way that benefits the local communities in which activities take place, covering topics such as safety, environmental impact and social license to operate
We all operate in an increasingly complex commercial and professional environment that requires us to negotiate on a daily basis not only with customers, clients, suppliers and contractor, but also with managers, fellow employees and colleagues within our own organisation.
‘Mastering Negotiation Skills’ is a five-day course designed to explain the negotiation process in detail and demonstrate how to use it effectively, giving delegates the negotiation skills and strategies they need to succeed in today’s challenging commercial environment.
The ability to negotiate effectively and manage conflict is one of the most valuable skill sets we can develop within our organization. Not only does developing these skills allow us to negotiate better deals by creating and then claiming value, but it also enables us to manage teams more expertly, interact more constructively with colleagues and manage conflict effectively.
This course provides both a comprehensive strategic analysis of the negotiation process as well as the essential tools for planning and managing every negotiation. Delegates will learn to negotiate excellent outcomes both externally with suppliers, contractors, and customers but also internally within your organization between colleagues, departments, and managers.
One of the major keys to success in the business world is being able to apply “discipline” to your life and actions! This is the key to developing personal effectiveness and professional excellence.
This training course will provide professionals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to manage and lead teams and organizations before, during, and after a crisis or emergency. All leaders are sooner or later confronted with the need to lead and manage their team or organization during a crisis or emergency. The leadership skills and competencies that are required in these demanding circumstances are much more challenging for the leader than normal everyday leadership. This course will also cover the basics of the COVID 19 Virus currently impacting the world. Most of our lives are a combination of work, family, and community involvement. A pandemic can affect all of these areas. Being informed and knowing what to do during a pandemic can help minimize the impact.
This course is designed for IT professionals who are looking to take on the role of Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in an organization. The course will cover key concepts and skills in information security, including risk management, security governance, incident response, and compliance.
A five-day course on the practical aspects of piping and pipeline design, integrity, maintenance, and repair. The participants will obtain an in-depth understanding of the ASME B31 code rules and API standards, their technical basis, and practical application to field conditions.
