Course Objective:

This course aims to equip aspiring and practicing petroleum professionals with a comprehensive understanding of how field development plans (FDP) are conceptualized, structured, and executed. It bridges the gap between geoscience, engineering, and economic planning by offering a holistic, hands-on learning experience. Participants will gain insight into the multidisciplinary nature of FDPs and develop practical skills to contribute effectively to real-world field development teams.

Learning Objectives:

·       By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

·       Understand the full lifecycle of petroleum field development from discovery to production.

·       Analyse seismic, geological, and reservoir data to support FDP decisions.

·       Estimate reserves using volumetric and decline curve methods.

·       Design development schemes, well plans, and surface facility layouts.

·       Build simple economic models to evaluate and compare development options.

Course Modules:

Module 1: Fundamentals of Field Development Planning

Module 2: Subsurface Characterization & Reserves Estimation

Module 3: Development Strategy, Well Planning & Drilling

Module 4: Surface Facilities Planning & Economic Evaluation

Module 5: FDP Integration, Case Study & Presentation

FAQs:

Who should attend this course?
