The training program highlights the obligations of the variety of clinical, technological, service as well as likewise solution self-controls that add to making complex options, requiring huge financial investments, while taking care of huge quantities of uncertainty.

This Blackbird Training training program is developed to prepare early- along with mid-career experts (geoscience, design and also commercial) for functioning within incorporated, multi-disciplinary groups on global growth jobs, as well as likewise for future oil company leadership features.

Educating Training Course Goals of Integrated Area Advancement Planning

• Have an understanding of the job of the integrated field development preparation group on worldwide oil as well as gas tasks
• Have functional capacities as well as also work devices that will certainly be of direct use to them in their future project work
• Comprehend the history of the industry, in addition to the underlying science of oil as well as gas formation
• Identify the importance of efficient very early preparation selections (principle option as well as also 'front-end filling') in providing successful jobs

Day 1
Field Development Planning – The Industry and the Team

• The industry context to field development planning.  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.

• The role of the integrated professional team in development planning.  Overview of the fundamental geoscience and engineering disciplines, which form the basis upon which decisions are made, including geophysics, petrophysics, reservoir engineering, well engineering and facilities engineering.

• Overview of field development planning workflow. Overview of the science, culture, practice and challenges of field development planning in the upstream oil and gas sector, including dealing with incomplete information and uncertainty.

Day 2
Field Development Planning and Economics

• • 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, in order to maximize value, including the use of cash flow analysis, time value of money and investment indicators.

  • Field development planning workshop.  Participants work individually, or in teams, on realistic field development planning, economics and decision making exercises.

Day 3
Decision Making in Field Development Planning

• Decision analysis. How the integrated field development team makes complex decisions, involving many different types of input parameters, in order 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.

• Field development planning workshop.  Participants work individually, or in teams, on realistic field development planning, economics and decision making exercises.

Day 4
Production Contracts and Petroleum Resources Management

• Production contracts & licenses.  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.

• Field development planning workshop.  Participants work individually, or in teams, on realistic field development planning, economics and decision making exercises.

Day 5
Safety and Environment within Field Development Planning

• Corporate responsibility.  How oil and gas projects are executed in a safe and sustainable manner, 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.

• Field development planning workshop.  Participants work individually, or in teams, on realistic field development planning, economics and decision making exercises.
