This course provides the candidates with an opportunity to learn the fundamental approach in working and writing a Field Development Plan.

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

• • Fundamental approach in writing a Field Development Plan
  • Appreciate the need for updating the reservoir development plan during the different stages of reservoir & field life
  • The concept and importance reservoir monitoring and data collection
  • Introduction to the different concepts of Road map, risk register and stake holder mapping
  • Essentials of a robust FDP
  • Assess reservoir productivity and ultimate oil recovery based on reservoir geological model, rock and fluid properties and stipulated drive mechanism
  • Identify and manage uncertainties in terms of hydrocarbon volumes, reservoir variability, productivity, and drive mechanism
  • Calculate well inflow performance, design completion in accordance to well deliverability, consider environmental and facilities issues, and assess economic benefits
  • Come up with field development and further appraisal, data gathering strategy to develop a robust plan that minimizes exposure, and maintains flexibility
  • Address field & reservoir management surveillance issues

Geologists, Petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, production engineers, laboratory researchers, and gas field operators and managers involved in or will be involved in developing hydrocarbon resources
