This course focuses on delivering integrated field development plans for sanction, through providing very clear technical discipline boundaries, along with appropriate data for cross-discipline exploitation. Essential discipline compromises that need to be made during field development planning are covered, recognizing a stage-gate process.
A comprehensive standard contents list (with section indices) is provided for the FDP write-up, with the technical documentation separate from the cost & commercial documentation, along with signatories. Important drawings and images are highlighted. Drilling & facility cost estimating is also covered, as well as pre-and post-tax economics with continued reference back to objectives. Gantt chart creation is covered. The technologies are explained. This course does NOT cover reservoir engineering. Good HSE practices are embedded in the course, along with risk and uncertainty. Late field life technologies are also discussed.

o PARKING LOT
Owen Wells has over 40 years of engineering and project experience across upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas sectors, covering both offshore and onshore developments.
He worked with BP (1978–2011), Siemens (2011–2013), DONG Energy (2013), and ADIL/Schlumberger (2013–present). His experience spans all project phases, from appraisal and concept selection to execution and benchmarking, in both traditional and alliancing environments.
Owen has served as Principal Consultant for OGM (Siemens) and PCOilplan (Tech21), and has expertise in Enersight and Maximus (KBC). He has led multi-disciplinary studies, worked on both conventional and unconventional resources, and developed the Accelerated Conceptual Engineering (ACE) process.
This course is aimed at the reservoir, petroleum, and exploitation engineers & technologists, geophysicists, and geologists who are involved in field development and exploitation.
o Intermediate
The learning objectives of the top-most level content of the course are:
o To recognise the boundaries of the key technical disciplines
o How to create a field layout, a facility technical definition and a development cost estimate
o How to exploit rate vs time as rate vs cumulative
o To appreciate the necessity of an overall flow scheme
o To appreciate the reservoir engineer delivery of H, M, L drawdowns
o To understand conceptual flow assurance vs integrated Lif of Field Flow assurance
