🚀 Fundamentals of Field Development Planning Workshop

Overview

🔎 Course Description

Successful oil and gas projects depend on robust field development plans (FDP) that balance technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental and safety considerations. This workshop guides participants through the integrated workflow of FDP — from exploration appraisal to concept selection and detailed development — equipping them with the essential skills to contribute effectively to multi-disciplinary FDP teams.

🎯 Learning Objectives

✅ Understand the workflow of field development planning
✅ Define reservoir performance drivers and recovery mechanisms
✅ Analyze subsurface data to estimate resources and reserves
✅ Evaluate development scenarios: wells, facilities, and export options
✅ Prepare high-quality FDP documents and economic analyses
✅ Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams

👥 Who Should Attend

Reservoir, production, drilling, and completion engineers
Geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists
Project and asset managers
Facilities and process engineers
Petroleum economists
HSE and regulatory personnel involved in FDP approvals

🗂️ Training Format

✅ Instructor-led lectures with interactive discussions
✅ Hands-on exercises and workflows
✅ Group work with scenario development
✅ Real-life FDP case studies
✅ Final workshop presentation
