About
This course presents an overview of the Petroleum Industry from the perspective of the Asset Life Cycle. Participants will gain an understanding of the Exploration, Appraisal, Development, and Production phases, with a particular emphasis on actions they can personally take within each phase to support value creation. Through lectures, multimedia, and interactive class exercises, a breadth of upstream business acumen will be delivered, covering economic, business, geoscience, and engineering topics. Topics include all types of resource plays, including deepwater, shale oil/gas, and enhanced oil recovery technologies.
Target Audience
This course is designed for both technical and business-oriented professionals who are new to the upstream oil and gas industry or experienced in one area but could benefit from a broader perspective. It also provides non-industry personnel with a broad, basic knowledge of multiple Exploration and Production (E&P) topics. Legal, financial, accounting, management, and service company team members will certainly benefit.
