Why Choose this Training Course?
The Oil and Gas industry plays a crucial role in the global economy. Oil and gas fields are either explored onshore or in shallow water or deep water depths. With the depletion of many onshore and offshore shallow-water reserves, the exploration and production of oil and gas in deep waters started to increase significantly.
Participants on this PetroKnowledge training course will gain a good understanding of the font end engineering design, concept selection, basic engineering, functional, project management and cost aspects of onshore, offshore and subsea oil and gas production and export facilities.
The training course will present how oil and gas projects are managed. The participants will experience how to manage the risks of oil and gas assets.
This Front-End Loading in Oil and Gas Projects training course also provides an insight into the roles of the diverse technical, commercial and business disciplines that contribute to the scope of field development planning and execution.
This training course will highlight:
- Life cycle of oil and gas projects
- Selection and development options of onshore, offshore and subsea projects
- Management of oil and gas projects
- Engineering design interfaces
- Risk management
What are the Goals?
By the end of this Petroknowledge training course, participants will be able to:
- Learn about the life cycle of oil and gas projects
- Understand how to select between different field development options
- Determine the main elements of project management stages
- Identify different risks encountered in the oil and gas projects
- Appreciate the challenges encountered during the FEL phase
