COURSE OVERVIEW:

In the Oil and Gas sector, the success of a capital project is inextricably linked to the subsurface reality and the operational requirements of the production facility. This course provides a sophisticated framework for Project Managers to integrate basic Reservoir and Production Engineering principles into the project management lifecycle. It focuses on bridging the "Technical Gap" between the subsurface teams and the surface facility project team, ensuring that the final asset is optimized for the actual reservoir performance.

The scope of this training encompasses the understanding of "Reservoir Drive Mechanisms," "Well Performance," and "Fluid Properties," and how these factors dictate the design capacity and complexity of the project. Participants will learn how to interpret "Production Forecasts," manage "Subsurface Uncertainty" in the project risk register, and align "Well Delivery" schedules with facility construction. The course addresses the complexities of "Field Development Planning" (FDP) and provides practical tools for "Integrated Project Teams" (IPT).

Coverage includes the analysis of "Enhanced Oil Recovery" (EOR) impacts on project scope, the implementation of "Production Chemistry" considerations in material selection, and the management of "Flow Assurance" risks. Attendees will explore the "Value of Information" (VOI) in subsurface appraisal and learn how to manage "Scope Changes" driven by unexpected reservoir behavior. By mastering the integration of these disciplines, project professionals will be able to deliver facilities that are perfectly "Fit-for-Purpose" for the entire field life.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Integrate "Reservoir Performance" data into project design baselines.
• Interpret "Production Profiles" and their impact on facility sizing.
• Manage "Subsurface Uncertainty" within the project risk framework.
• Align "Well Construction" and "Drilling" schedules with facility milestones.
• Incorporate "Production Chemistry" requirements into material selection.
• Analyze "Flow Assurance" risks and their impact on project scope.
• Understand "Reservoir Drive Mechanisms" and their engineering implications.
• Facilitate "Integrated Project Team" (IPT) communication and alignment.
• Evaluate the impact of "Enhanced Oil Recovery" (EOR) on facility design.
• Assess the "Value of Information" (VOI) during the appraisal phase.
• Manage "Flexibility and Scalability" in projects for varying reservoir outcomes.
• Ensure the project meets the long-term "Field Development Plan" (FDP) goals.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Project Managers, Engineering Managers, Facilities Engineers, Planning Leads, and Senior Technical Coordinators in the Upstream Oil and Gas sector.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
