LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, CHAPTER BOOKS, MG, YA, CHILDREN'S NON-FICTION After a childhood buried in library books and Beanos, Lydia started her career in the editorial team at Egmont, where she commissioned books such as the Carnegie Medal-winning The Poet X. She joined the Darley Anderson team in 2018, and as well as building an engaging and diverse list of authors and illustrators, she was promoted to Director in March 2024. With experience on both sides of the commissioning desk, Lydia loves working editorially with her clients and developing ideas from an initial spark into a full manuscript. She represents clients across all age groups, including picture book, chapter book, middle grade and YA, and has a particular focus on non-fiction. Lydia reads and considers widely, and among other things she is looking for snort-inducing stories for younger readers, clever and contemporary teenage and YA fiction, and non-fiction projects that take big ideas and make them easily navigable, accessible and fun. No matter the story, Lydia is drawn to voice above anything else and will always be sucked in by a strong hook. Lydia represents clients including Soofiya, Gina Blaxill, Mark Bradley, Ryan Hammond, Alice Harman, Joyce Efia Harmer, Catherine Jacob, Hannah Moffatt, Rachel Morrisroe, Nick Sheridan, Rashmi Sirdeshpande and Eva Wong Nava. If you could sum up her tastes in three words, they would be curious, characterful and heartfelt, and in three books, they would be One of Us is Lying, Nevermoor and You Are Awesome. Lydia would like you to submit a covering letter, a 1 page synopsis and the first 3 chapters or 20 pages of your completed manuscript in a single word document. For Picture Books please submit a covering letter and texts for two completed stories. (In addition to the paid sessions, Lydia is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print).

About this training Mature fields differ from green field developments in that major infrastructure is in place, static reservoir data has accumulated from development drilling and a growing volume of production and processing performance data has become available. Decisions therefore relate to incremental projects, which may be small in scope and are often economically marginal. A firm understanding of the technical fundamentals associated with reservoir, wells and surface facilities is therefore required to make quality decisions in this environment, supported by realistic uncertainty ranges, and consistent application of incremental project economics and risk analysis. Various strategies may be considered to manage the mature asset, from harvest to divest, and the selected incremental activities should support a clear chosen strategy. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Characterize the overall challenges associated with mature field developments Evaluate critical insights from subsurface data and apply this to modelling options and recovery methods Assess associated well data, typical late life issues and drilling and completion options for mature developments Manage the role of risk and uncertainty when making mature field development planning decisions Prepare a strategy and implementation plan Target Audience The course is intended for individuals who play a part in evaluating, screening and maturing oil and gas field development opportunities. The following personnel will benefit from the knowledge shared in this course: Petroleum engineers Geoscientist Facilities engineers Commercial staffs Reservoir engineer Production engineer Drilling engineer Project manager Asset manager Field engineer Exploration manager Course Level Basic or Foundation Trainer Your expert course leader, boasts nearly four decades of experience in the upstream oil & gas industry. He began his career in the back in 1982, spending 13 years with Shell International across several global locations. During his tenure, he served primarily as a reservoir engineer, contributing to exploration prospect evaluation, field development planning, corporate business planning, and drilling operations. Throughout his career, he has executed a diverse range of reservoir engineering projects for multiple UK and international firms, and has successfully led several PE study teams.
