Course Description

This class is intended for those who work in the Oil & Gas  industry to get exposure to broad range of technical and economical aspects of the business from highly experienced instructors. Often Oil & Gas industry professionals focus on their own specific disciplines without recognizing the importance of other disciplines around them. Often the greatest value in an E&P team is in working across discipline to deliver business objectives. This class will help participants get exposure to the key disciplines require in running successful E&P companies. In addition, participants will get exposure to key elements of the E&P process including early exploration & appraisal, field development planning (FDP), and field management/production. Participants will gain an appreciation for the importance of project management and economics in project delivery.
