Integrated Offshore Field Development Planning

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the end-to-end Field Development Planning (FDP) process for offshore oil and gas fields, aligned with industry best practices and stage-gate methodologies.
• Integrate subsurface, wells, facilities, commercial, and regulatory elements into a coherent, technically sound, and value-driven development plan.
• Address the distinctive challenges of offshore environments, including complex logistics, stringent HSE requirements, and regulatory compliance.
• Develop the ability to critically evaluate development options, assess trade-offs, manage risks and uncertainties, and make informed, evidence-based decisions.
• Contribute confidently and effectively to the preparation and presentation of an FDP document that meets technical, commercial, and stakeholder expectations.
• Recognize the specific considerations and strategies for mature field redevelopment, including waterflood optimization, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and late-life asset management, through a dedicated session.

This course is designed for professionals involved in planning, developing, and managing offshore oil and gas fields. Participants typically come from upstream operating companies, service providers, and regulatory bodies. Ideal attendees are those involved in early field appraisal through to full field development execution, or those managing mature offshore assets. Mid- to senior-level professionals looking to enhance their technical integration and decision-making skills in offshore project contexts will gain significant value from this program. It is particularly suited for:

• Reservoir Engineers
• Petroleum Engineers
• Well Engineers
• Facilities Engineers
• Field Development Planners
• Offshore Project Managers
• Geoscientists
• Asset Managers
• Technical Advisors
• Regulatory and HSE Professionals

• Basic
• Intermediate

The course uses a highly interactive and practical approach. Each module includes presentations, real-world case studies, group discussions, and hands-on exercises. Participants will work through a simulated offshore field development scenario, applying what they’ve learned in a collaborative team environment. Tools such as decision trees, economic evaluation frameworks, and technical screening matrices will be used. The course culminates with the group presentation of an integrated FDP, reinforcing the learning outcomes through applied practice.
