INTRODUCTION
Participants on this GLOMACS Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training course will gain a good understanding of the concept selection, engineering, functional, processing, construction, project management and cost aspects of oil and gas production and export facilities.
This training course will prepare participants to work with and within multi-disciplinary teams involved in the planning and construction of oil and gas facilities, including of: in-field gathering equipment, processing plant, pipelines, offshore platforms, and subsea facilities.
This Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training course also provides an insight into the roles of the diverse scientific, technical, commercial and business disciplines that contribute to the wider scope of field development planning and execution, with whom development and facilities engineers must communicate and collaborate.
Objectives
By the end of this Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training course, participants will:
- Have an understanding of the scope, function, cost and selection criteria of the full range of oil and gas plant, equipment, structures and vessels
- Have practical skills and work tools that will be of direct use to them in their future project work
- Understand the background to the industry, and the underlying science of oil and gas formation
- Recognise the importance of effective early planning decisions (concept selection and ‘front-end loading’) in delivering successful projects
- Have an overview of the challenges of field development projects, based on a review of case studies of actual projects
Training Methodology
This Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training course is both practical and theoretical, and is delivered by means of:
- Interactive presentations and tutorials
- Team and individual workshop exercises
- Onscreen worked examples
- Short videos
- Debates and discussions
- Guided self-study and research
- Quizzes
- Case studies
While performing the workshop exercises, participants will gain experience in the use of online (cloud) team collaboration information tools and strategies that are becoming key to professional development in this era of fast-evolving technology, fast-track projects, online collaboration, joint decision making, and ‘information overload’.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training seminar is relevant to participants from a wide range of backgrounds, including those working within development and facilities engineering such as Project Management Professionals, as well as those from other technical and not-technical backgrounds that need to understand the role of development and facilities engineering.
This GLOMACS Offshore Oil and Gas Development Projects, Concepts and Facilities training course is suitable for participants of all disciplines that want to:
- Prepare for greater involvement and leadership roles in field development, strategic management and decision making
- Equip themselves for working within close-knit, value-focused, multi-disciplinary, fully-integrated asset development teams working on complex, large-scale projects
- Gain an understanding of the very broad scope of field development engineering, and the complexity and challenges of facilities engineering on mega projects
