Running a successful petroleum operation requires a blend of technology, business savvy, and people skills. If you already have a firm grasp of exploration or production technology, learn to amplify its effectiveness with applied project management techniques. This course is aimed at helping technical personnel make the best business decisions – decisions that Lead to lowest project cost while still meeting all production or exploration goals.

Project and resource management covers the principles and application of project Management to the upstream oil and gas business. Participants may choose a case study from a number of real-life exploration, production, facilities, and general management Situations or they may bring the details of one of their own current projects. Because of this Experience with practical situations, participants can use this project management Principles their first day back on the job.

This interactive training provides participants with the skills required to deliver projects effectively, from decision-making concepts used by business development and commercial departments, through to FEED and into planning & delivery.

This training focuses on industry best practice Project Management examples merged into practical instruction. Digging deep into tried and tested processes and tools, in order to best support the likelihood of future projects achieving their desired results and benefits delivered by the project.
