Industry Perspectives. 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
Geology. The formation of oil and gas and the conditions for the existence of a ‘petroleum system’ from which oil and gas may be produced
Geophysics. How geological structures deep below the earth's surface, and likely to contain oil and gas, are identified using sophisticated seismic and other survey techniques
Petrophysics. The physical and chemical properties of the rock and fluids that make up the reservoir, leading to an understanding of how the oil and gas can be extracted from the rocks and brought to the surface
Reservoir Engineering. How oil and gas that is trapped in a reservoir can be drained in the most efficient way using natural and enhanced recovery mechanisms
Well, Engineering. How oil and gas wells are planned, drilled, tested, operated, and eventually decommissioned and made safe, and the techniques used to improve well performance
Facilities Engineering. The design, construction, and operation of equipment and structures to enable oil and gas emerging from the wells to be transported to a place of sale, for example, an oil refinery
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, to maximize value, including the use of cash flow analysis, time value of money, and investment indicators
Decision Analysis. How the integrated field development team make complex decisions, involving many different types of input parameters, 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
Production Contracts & Licences. 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
Corporate Responsibility. How oil and gas projects are executed safely and sustainably, 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
The program opens by exploring the key leadership skills and how to apply them in the organization. Using this initial analysis, the program explores managing yourself as a leader, leading a team, creating breakthroughs through innovative leadership, communicating effectively with others, and imparting leadership values to your team members. All attendees will return to their organizations better equipped to meet the challenges and demands of leadership.
This is a fast-paced, dynamic, and highly informative advanced leadership program. It seeks to develop and enhance your personal, team, and organizational leadership skills.
This seminar is designed to provide practicing or potential leaders with the knowledge and skills required by the role. This leadership programme enables your leaders to critically explore the key idea that the most important function of a leader is to help their people move through the stages of team development.
Alliances in business are a natural route for development – but not all contracting relationships can truly be seen as alliances. A good, trusting and open relationship is essential for a long-term and successful alliance – and this needs to be practiced by the negotiators involved. Negotiation is inevitably at the heart of every process to achieve what you want, whether in an agreement, bargaining for an item, or closing a deal. At the end of each negotiation, the goal is to seek a win/win outcome – an essential characteristic of long-lasting alliances. This course provides an essential framework for effective negotiation — which will be vital for building and exploiting an alliance - from building the relationship, critical thinking to prioritize goals
Health, Safety, and Environmental Management Systems are based on a proactive process for incidents prevention as well as reactive monitoring of performance. Risk assessment is required to be applied to all activities that impact on health & safety, production, asset, environment, and the Company reputation.
All businesses in the current environment need a competitive edge. This can be gained through innovative and exciting products and services, or effective and efficient world-class employees. Top performing organizations are passionate about their most valuable resource - their staff. To maintain their high standards a large proportion of their time and energy is spent on continuous professional development, not only of their employees but of their business. This course investigates the tried and trusted management processes, procedures, and methodology used by many blue-chip companies. They use the tools to develop high levels of performance from their staff. This in turn ensures the future and reputation of their companies through innovative development, service, and evaluation. This course offers participants practical solutions to work-related issues.
Enterprise Risk Management known as (ERM) has evolved considerably since the seventies. From simply 'buying' insurance, it has now grown in importance to become a prime function in many organizations as part of a bigger system known as Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) which starts with corporate governance and ends with compliance. ERM is the function of studying the risks that may hinder a corporation's ability to achieve its goals and then deciding how to overcome those risks. Studies regarding risk management were done by different organizations, including ISO which issued ISO 31000 on risk management. However, the most accepted ERM system is the one designed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). This system, which is the one covered in this course, teaches the steps needed to control risk. It starts with the evaluation of the internal environment and the setting of objectives which are, mainly, a result of the tone at the top of the organization, the directives from corporate governance as well as the vision, mission, and corporate strategies. Then, the course goes through the steps management needs to consider in order to identify and assess risk and decide on proper risk responses and controls. The course ends with how to monitor, communicate, and report risk. In addition, the course looks at risk in different organizational areas such as strategy, reporting, compliance, operations, financial and physical risk as well as risk in different industries.
