Most oil and gas companies’ business structures are segmented and organized according to business segment, assets, or function. The upstream oil and gas segment are known as the exploration and production (E&P). The exploration and production (E&P) lead to discovery of new oil fields, recovering and producing crude oil and natural gas to comply with increasing demand. It is a challenging area for many companies due to the technical complexity, resources, risk, technology and investment decision.
The 10-Day Upstream Oil and Gas Fundamentals training course will cover the exploration and production process to be more efficient and optimize operations.
This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:
- The formation of petroleum
- Exploration and reservoir engineering
- Field appraisals, development, petroleum economics and managing risk
- Techniques are used to optimize recovery from the reservoir over its lifetime
- Processing oil and gas at surface facilities, and transportation
This training course is split into two modules:
MODULE I - Upstream Exploration for Oil and Gas
MODULE II - Upstream Production for Oil and Gas
Each modules is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates with will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
The objectives of this training course are to enhance the knowledge and skill in upstream in oil and gas. The 10-Day Upstream Oil and Gas Fundamentals training course has five key objectives:
- Explain the formation of petroleum
- Learn exploration and reservoir engineering
- Develop field appraisal, development, petroleum economics and managing risk
- Apply techniques are used to optimize recovery from the reservoir over its lifetime
- Understand the processing oil and gas at surface facilities, and transportation
Participants to this 10-Day Upstream Oil and Gas Fundamentals training course will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the training course outline with the Tutor utilising a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. Training course methodology includes classroom-style with highly interactive, exercise and case studies the training course will be run using PowerPoint slide and video.
The organisational impact will be demonstrated by the employees participating in this 10-Day Upstream Oil and Gas Fundamentals training course through:
- Better understanding the petroleum formation
- Enhance professional development
- Improved knowledge and skills for exploration and reservoir engineering
- Developing and create field appraisal, analyzing petroleum economics and managing risk to saves investment
- Applying techniques used to optimize recovery from the reservoir over its lifetime
- Establish processing oil and gas at surface facilities and understand product transportation
Upon completion of this 10-Day Upstream Oil and Gas Fundamentals training course, participants will:
- Improved the knowledge about the petroleum formation
- Knowledge and skill for exploration and reservoir engineering
- Develop and create field appraisals, analyzing petroleum economics and managing risk
- Apply techniques used to optimize recovery
- Better understanding the processing oil and gas at surface facilities and the product transportation
- Greater confidence working in upstream in oil and gas
