5 training days · 15 modules · hands-on workshops
Develop a comprehensive understanding of the oil and gas industry structure and exploration workflows.
Play fairway analysis: groups map a petroleum system for a provided basin, risk each play element, and identify high-graded exploration targets.
Apply reservoir and well engineering principles to evaluate development potential.
Production forecast workshop: groups build an integrated nodal analysis model and generate production profiles for three development scenarios.
Understand surface facilities design and the processing of produced hydrocarbons.
Facility design review: groups evaluate a provided process flow diagram for a gas condensate facility, identify safety critical elements, and recommend design improvements.
Apply economic analysis methods to evaluate upstream investments and development decisions.
Economic evaluation exercise: teams build a field development economic model for a provided dataset, test key sensitivities, and present an investment recommendation.
Integrate HSE principles, sustainability drivers, and industry outlook into upstream planning.
Capstone: teams develop a field development concept covering geology, reservoir, facilities, economics, and HSE for a provided discovery, presenting to a simulated IOC investment committee.
