Offshore Operations & Field Development Planning (FDP)
This self-paced course delivers a detailed understanding of offshore operations and field development planning, equipping participants with the technical and strategic skills to plan, design, and manage offshore oil and gas projects effectively.
Description
This program details the complete field life cycle, from the exploration and appraisal phases to development, production, and decommissioning. You will explore the intricacies of petroleum agreements and bidding , reservoir characterization , and field planning. The course also covers production operations , managing decline , and petroleum economics, including project cash flow, CAPEX/OPEX, and economic indicators.
Gain a strategic overview of offshore operations and oil and gas field development. This self-paced e-learning course provides a comprehensive framework for offshore field development planning and execution. It emphasizes conceptual development strategies and covers the entire project lifecycle, from initial access to final decommissioning.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
Outline the complete field life cycle, from gaining access to decommissioning.
Explain petroleum agreements, bidding processes, and fiscal systems.
Describe the processes for field appraisal, quantifying uncertainty, and reservoir characterization.
Understand the fundamentals of well planning, rig selection , and field development planning, including artificial lift.
Analyze project risks and the basics of petroleum economics.
Enhance Strategic Planning: Equip your teams with a holistic view of field development for better conceptual and strategic decisions.
Improve Economic Acumen: Staff will gain a solid understanding of petroleum economics, leading to better project screening and financial awareness.
