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
