Reservoir Engineering Training Courses > Advanced Field Development Planning & Drive Performance

About this Training

This 5-day course is aimed at pulling together the work of the all the technical specialists involved in oil/gas field development, both subsurface and surface, to realize the full value of a truly integrated Field Development Plan. It is assumed that each participant (geologist, reservoir engineer, well engineer, facilities engineer, cost engineer etc.) is an expert in their own discipline and wants to learn how to work more effectively in a team. All the courses are therefore of interest to all disciplines. Experience shows that the courses work much better with a mix of discipline staff in the room.

This course comprises the modules listed below, which can also be taught separately at key points in the Field Development Plan process. They can also be given as ‘Peer Assist’ workshops, working with a project team using their data to help them frame their opportunity or select their concept. Many teams struggle at the point where they are required to integrate their discipline work and a short workshop is a very effective way in helping them move forward.

Modules Included:

  • Opportunity Framing
  • Risk Assessment and Management
  • Technical Assurance and Quality Control
  • Concept Identification
  • Contracting Strategy
  • Cost Estimation and Economics
  • Concept Selection
  • Contracting Tactics
  • Senior Drilling Engineers
  • Senior Petroleum Engineer
  • Senior Workover Engineer

Your Expert Course Instructor has a Master’s Degree in Engineering from Queens’ College, Cambridge, England, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers in London. During his career he has worked as an engineer for both BP and Shell, beginning in operations and maintenance, and then in projects and site construction. He has worked in some of the toughest places in the world – from the deserts of Kuwait in summer to the steppes of Russia in winter – in projects both onshore and offshore, ranging from new oilfield developments to upgrades to onshore terminals.

For the last ten years he has been using this solid experience to advise project teams in the early concept stages. His speciality is integration – getting the various specialists to understand how their discipline work contributes to the overall development plan.

He has broad teaching experience, both within his peer group delivering courses in the Shell Learning Centre, and to school children through the Jet-Net organisation linking schools to industry in the Netherlands, and is fluent in several European languages. Tsuyoshi
