About this Course
Field Development Planning (FDP) is a cornerstone in the lifecycle of offshore oil and gas projects. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of the end-to-end FDP process, aligned with globally recognized industry best practices and stage-gate methodologies. Participants will gain insights into the integration of key technical, commercial, and regulatory components to develop robust and value-driven field development strategies in offshore environments. Through structured modules, attendees will learn how to navigate the appraisal, selection, definition, and execution stages of FDP with confidence.
A central focus of this course is the complex and multidisciplinary nature of offshore projects. It addresses the integration of subsurface reservoir characterization, well planning, surface facility design, and economic evaluation. Attendees will explore various development concepts including fixed platforms, floating systems, and subsea tiebacks. Offshore-specific constraints—such as HSE requirements, logistics, and regulatory frameworks—are thoroughly addressed through real-world case studies and guided exercises.
On the final day, participants will consolidate their knowledge by developing a complete FDP for a sample offshore field. In addition to covering greenfield developments, the course also dives into strategies for mature asset redevelopment, including EOR techniques, waterflood optimization, and late-life asset management. This course empowers professionals with the skills needed to make informed, technically sound, and economically viable development decisions.
