Field Development Planning Fundamentals for Oil & Gas Professionals

Level: Foundation | Type: Classroom | Discipline: Integrated Operations

This pragmatic Field Development Planning course aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of working in and writing a Field Development Plan (FDP), inarguably one of the most important documents that serves as the foundation of oil and gas field developments.  It is an output of a sequence of decision and discipline based tasks designed to come up with a development plan.  It is, also, a basis for coming up with a robust way of developing, producing, and maintaining hydrocarbon resources.  An FDP forms an input for engineering the reservoir management schemes, designing production/injection wells and associated surface facilities.

The participants will be introduced to all of these concepts as they are applied to the process of coming up with a development plan in relation to the reservoir life cycle.  This course will acquaint engineers, geoscientists, and operating personnel with the basic techniques and processes/procedures used by asset management teams.
