About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) This Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course is designed with the aim of showing the degree of integration necessary in developing an offshore petroleum discovery, from field appraisal to development. The 5 half-day VILT course gives a comprehensive account of the methodology, processes and techniques utilised in developing an offshore oil or gas discovery. Technically, integration of expected reservoir behavior, well planning and design, and facilities concepts and selection are exemplified through detailed case histories, group discussions and exercises. Commercial aspects related to overall project evaluation are also covered. Training Objectives Course participants will obtain a comprehensive understanding of key aspects of offshore field development, from appraisal through to development planning and leading up to sanction. The VILT course covers the three key elements: reservoirs, wells and facilities, and covers the integration of these with commercial aspects, and the required management aspects, including uncertainty and risk. Target Audience This VILT course is designed for project managers, field development and planning engineers, asset managers, petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers as well as field geoscientists and managers who have an interest in or are involved in field development feasibility and planning. In particular, this VILT course would be of interest to managers leading multidisciplinary and diverse functional teams. Course Level Basic or Foundation Training Methods The VILT course will be delivered online in 5 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with 2 breaks of 10 minutes per day.

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. Furthermore, he has continuously provided reservoir engineering and commercial training to oil company staff on a national and international scale.
