    Explore decision making through the entire upstream value chain.

    Simulation-based training techniques, tools, and strategies can be applied in designing structured learning experiences as well as targeting teamwork competency.

    The OilSim upstream learning simulator takes users through the entire exploration and production business process—from acquiring a block to its development, production, and abandonment. In this innovative and interactive training method, participants are divided into teams and challenge each other to achieve the best results, based on strategy selection and decision-making in a simulated business environment.

    Learning by doing

    Encourages collaboration, participation and problem solving.

    OilSim is built around petrotechnical disciplines and is based on a flexible earth model, instead of just being about business and strategy. It simulates the E&P business environments, with participants taking the roles of oil and gas companies and authorities on the development of an oil and gas field. The pedagogy of this learning cycle is aimed at enabling the process to be mainly led by the participants, rather than the instructor.

    Stages and decision gates of asset life cycle

    OilSim simulator modules address the following business and technical challenges:

    OilSim is an innovative teaching method where the various teams, challenge each other to gain the highest NPV based on their team strategy as well as gaining credibility points which are earned through making accurate decisions throughout each stage of the simulator to solve industry-related challenges.

    • Initial screening
    • Prospecting
    • Exploration
    • Drainage plan
    • Facilities plan
    • Construction
    • Production

    The approach is essentially a problem based learning method that requires participants to successfully undertake a series of challenges. In each challenge, the teams are expected to buy and study scientific data and oil field information, discuss the appropriate decisions to take, submit the decisions to the simulation, and get a result back. In most cases the result depends on the combination of decisions made by all the participating teams.

    Engages

    Participants in interactive activities

    Engages

    Engages participants in interactive activities, the most effective method of training, creating an enhanced learning experience. Hands-on approach involves attendees so they become participants, not mere listeners or observers. Attendees take on responsible roles, find was to succeed, and develop problem solving tools as a result of the interaction.

    Measurable

    Stimulates

    Peer-to-peer learning

    Stimulates

    Stimulates peer-to-peer learning reinforcing teamwork and driving superior learning experiences that improve the knowledge retention. Participants learn better from their own experiences than having others' experiences related to them..

    structured

    Contextualizes

    Instruction with companies’ business objectives

    Contextualizes

    Contextualizes instruction with oil and gas companies’ business objectives that enhances structured learning experiences based on strategy removing the element of danger from the situation. Builds critical skills in a realistic environment. It also covers the entire upstream life cycle, helping attendees see how they ‘fit’ into business.

    centric

    Enables

    Experimentation with different scenarios

    Enables

    Enables experimentation with different scenarios offering flexibility to replace and amplify real experiences with guided ones. Safe space for failure – learning from the mistakes. Specific ‘company’ activities can be combined to provide additional knowledge of the company as their employer.
