Integrated Field Development Planning

Improving Field Performance

Course Overview

Participants on this Integrated Field Development Planning training course will gain a good understanding of how multi-disciplinary, integrated teams within oil and gas companies collaborate to identify the best way to develop an oil or gas field.

This Oil & Gas training course highlights the roles of the wide range of scientific, technical, commercial and business disciplines that contribute to making complex decisions, involving very large investments, while dealing with large amounts of uncertainty.

This training course is designed to equip early- and mid-career professionals (geoscience, engineering and commercial) for working within integrated, multi-disciplinary teams on international development projects, and for future oil business leadership roles.

Course Objectives

By the end of this Integrated Field Development Planning training course, participants will:

  • Have an understanding of the work of the integrated field development planning team on international oil and gas projects
  • Have practical skills and work tools that will be of direct use to them in their future project work
  • Understand the background to the industry, and the underlying science of oil and gas formation
  • Recognise the importance of effective early planning decisions (concept selection and ‘front-end loading’) in delivering successful projects

Training Methodology

This Integrated Field Development Planning training course is both practical and theoretical, and is delivered by means of:

  • Interactive presentations and tutorials
  • Team and individual workshop exercises
  • Onscreen worked examples
  • Videos and posters
  • Debates and discussions
  • Guided self‐study and research
  • Quizzes
  • Case studies

  • Petroleum Economics. The role of economics in the planning of oil and gas developments, in order to maximise 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
  • Decision Analysis. How the integrated field development team make 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
  • 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
  • Field Development Planning Workshop. Participants work individually, or in teams, on realistic field development planning, economics and decision making exercises
  • 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 licence to operate
  • Field Development Planning Workshop. Participants work individually, or in teams, on realistic field development planning, economics and decision making exercises
