ABOUT THIS TRAINING Mature fields differ from green field developments in that major infrastructure is in place, static reservoir data has accumulated from development drilling and a growing volume of production and processing performance data has become available. Decisions therefore relate to incremental projects, which may be small in scope and are often economically marginal. A firm understanding of the technical fundamentals associated with reservoir, wells and surface facilities is therefore required to make quality decisions in this environment, supported by realistic uncertainty ranges, and consistent application of incremental project economics and risk analysis. Various strategies may be considered to manage the mature asset, from harvest to divest, and the selected incremental activities should support a clear chosen strategy. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: * Characterize the overall challenges associated with mature field developments * Evaluate critical insights from subsurface data and apply this to modelling options and recovery methods * Assess associated well data, typical late life issues and drilling and completion options for mature developments * Manage the role of risk and uncertainty when making mature field development planning decisions * Prepare a strategy and implementation plan Target Audience The course is intended for individuals who play a part in evaluating, screening and maturing oil and gas field development opportunities. The following personnel will benefit from the knowledge shared in this course: * Petroleum engineers * Geoscientist * Facilities engineers * Commercial staffs * Reservoir engineer * Production engineer * Drilling engineer * Project manager * Asset manager * Field engineer * Exploration manager Course Level * Basic or Foundation Trainer Your expert course leader, boasts nearly four decades of experience in the upstream oil & gas industry. He began his career in the back in 1982, spending 13 years with Shell International across several global locations. During his tenure, he served primarily as a reservoir engineer, contributing to exploration prospect evaluation, field development planning, corporate business planning, and drilling operations. Throughout his career, he has executed a diverse range of reservoir engineering projects for multiple UK and international firms, and has successfully led several PE study teams. Furthermore, he has continuously provided reservoir engineering and commercial training to oil company staff on a national and international scale.

ABOUT THIS TRAINING Front End Loading (FEL) is a methodology that takes a deliberate approach to capital project planning. Where traditional project plans seek to help an operator reach production targets and budgets, FEL methodology aligns an operator's technical and business goals to create a more comprehensive development plan. The FEL approach increases project definition and lowers risk to positively impact total investment costs and return on investment. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: * Learn the methods applied for Pre-FEL and FEL process * Understand the importance of FEL, FEL stages; visualisation, conceptualisation, definition * Uncover how to apply project management during FEL * Determine risk management in the FEL process * Understand benchmarking & value improving practices   Target Audience The course is recommended for anyone who wish to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of the importance of Front-End Loading and how to apply Front End Loading best practices, including: * Team Leaders * Senior Managers (Line and Function) * Project Managers * Development Engineers * Graduate Engineers * Quality Assurance Engineers * Key Contractor's Management * FEED engineers * Design engineers * Mechanical engineers * Process engineers   Course Level * Basic or Foundation Trainer Your expert course leader is a subsea pipeline consultant with extensive experience in the design, construction, and installation of subsea pipelines for the oil and gas industry.
