ABOUT THE COURSE
ABOUT THE COURSE
The methods that will be discussed in this course can reliably predict 70%-80% of
subsequent commercial discoveries, and about 90% of the eventual dry holes. This
program will cover surface geochemical and non-seismic detection of oil and gas, the
variety of surface and near-surface methods for high-grade basins and plays, and the
pre-drilling prediction of hydrocarbon charge. Explorationists will learn the techniques
and methodologies that will help refine the economic evaluation of reservoirs before
investing in to new plays. The course is illustrated from a wide range of international
basins and plays, structural and stratigraphic case studies, onshore and offshore
examples, and also the application to shale-chalk plays.
Shale gas is becoming an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United
States over the past decade and is expected to grow further in the coming future. One
analyst expects shale gas to supply as much as half the natural gas production in North
America by 2020. This interest in shale gas has since spread quickly to the rest of the
world as countries seek to produce more shale gas to reduce their dependency on
foreign imported gas. This masterclass will provide a thorough understanding on the
evaluation of shale gas and oil reservoirs from various perspectives (geological,
geophysical, geochemical and petrophysical) and how to classify and estimate
unconventional gas reserves accurately and precisely. Delegates will learn to evaluate
the various black shales, as shale-gas & shale-oil targets, as well as predicting
locations of quality shale plays. The course will also present on successful
shale-gas/shale-oil plays in the US, Canada and other places in the world. A short
presentation on other unconventional gas and oil types (tight sandstone-gas, Bakken
Play) will also be included. Project exercises and case studies based from the trainers
past experience will also be covered extensively to allow delegates to gain

DESIGNED FOR
The course is designed for Exploration & Development Geophysicists, Geologists,

Geoscientists, Reservoir Engineers, and Geomodellers, who deal with fractured
reservoirs and those who need to develop them using all types of available data. The
course will be very useful to all geoscientists involved in clastics, carbonates, and
shale plays where fractures play a major role. This course assumes at least a basic
working knowledge on seismic interpretation & modeling.
YOU WILL LEARN

UNDERSTAND all geological and seismic aspects related to modeling fractured
reservoirs
GENERATE actual reservoir models from a real case study data set
INTEGRATE geology, geophysics, and reservoir engineering concepts in application
to a sound reservoir model
OVERCOME the challenges in modeling fractured reservoirs through the use of
post-stack narrow azimuth seismic
IDENTIFY fractures and model their density and orientation
APPLY fractured reservoir modeling concepts to fractured basements
RECOGNIZE productive zones , plan wells, and create fracture porosity and
permeability models for reservoir simulation
ABOUT THE COURSE

This course provides all critical aspects related to the understanding and modeling of fractured
reservoirs. Participants will gain knowledge on how to approach fractured reservoir projects in
a systematic manner. The workshop covers all the aspects of modeling fractured reservoirs.
Using actual data from Teapot Dome, (WY, USA), the geoscientist will be able to construct
fracture models that integrate geology, geophysics and reservoir engineering. Emphasis will be
given to the critical use of seismic attributes derived from inversion, volumetric curvature and
spectral imaging. Using actual Teapot Dome field data from the Tensleep and Niobrara Shale
formations and a hands-on approach, the workshop allows the geoscientist to identify fractures
and to construct predictive 3D fracture models that can be used to identify productive zones,
plan wells and to create fracture porosity and permeability models for reservoir simulation. A
multidisciplinary approach to the study of these reservoirs will be stressed. Participants will
learn what controls the performance of fractured reservoirs and the type of data which are
required to manage them. This is the only course in the world where attendees use a real
software to build fracture models that are validated with blind wells. No other fracturing
modeling technology can do that and no other course offer this hands-on approach with these
data sets, where the students will leave the class with confidence that they can do it because
they have already done it in this course on actual data.

ABOUT THE COURSE

A Well Integrity incident and breach of Well integrity envelope has the potential to
escalate into catastrophic events. The event can result in harm to people, damage to
Assets and the environment and to the reputation of the Operator. It can easily be to
either of them or in case of a major event to all of the above.
Financial impact can be very high; loss of revenue of the hydrocarbons that escape,
damage to the reservoir as a result of the uncontrolled flow and collateral damages has
the potential to bring an Operator in financial dire straits.
Several incidents in the recent past have shown that even the largest Operator can
barely manage such financial drain.
It is therefore of critical importance that the well integrity envelope is properly
designed, constructed and maintained during it life cycle: Sustained Well Integrity
Management (WIM).

ABOUT THE COURSE

Well test analysis has been used for many years to assess well condition and obtain
reservoir parameters. With the introduction of pressure-derivative analysis and the
development of complex interpretation models that are able to account for detailed
geological features, well test analysis has become a very powerful tool for reservoir
characterization. A new milestone has been reached recently with the introduction of
deconvolution, which makes it possible to see boundaries which may not be visible
from conventional analysis. This has a significant impact on the ability to certify
reserves. The methodology described in the course, which has become the standard of
the industry, presents a systematic way of interpreting well tests and reconciles the
various methods that have been developed over the years. The emphasis of the course
is on well tests in gas condensate and volatile oil reservoirs, which are the most difficult
to interpret as they combine the usual complexities of wells and reservoirs with
complexity of the fluids. Practical problem-solving sessions are included in the course.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Many analysts and modelers develop a high level of competence in the use of Excel, but
often find that they have a lack of awareness and capability around extending their
skills to VBA (macros).
The use of VBA in the modelling of oil and gas sector is often particularly beneficial, and
sometimes a necessity: For example, macros are often found in standard applications,
such as project finance models, as well as to automate sensitivity-, scenario-,
simulation- and optimization-procedures that arise frequently in the sector. In
addition, macros can be extremely useful in data manipulation: including where
repeated manipulation of data is required, where consolidation from multiple data
sources is needed (allowing larger datasets than a single workbook would permit, for
example), or where data is taken from external sources before being manipulated in
Excel. User-defined functions can also be used to create flexible model structures and
layouts, including mechanisms to rapidly include or delete assets or data sets in a
model, for example.
This 4-day course is aimed at experienced Excel practitioners who wish to become
proficient in the use of VBA, as well as to refresh some of the more advanced aspects of
Excel. The course focuses on learning through hands-on exercises. Day 1 is used to
review advanced Excel modelling topics and functions, whilst Days 2-4 are focused on
using VBA in a variety of analysis, modelling and decision-support contexts.

are made in upstream and downstream areas in the presence of risk and uncertainties.
Decisions involving asset acquisitions, exploration, appraisal, drilling, field development, equipment purchases, fiscal negotiations, cost estimation, capital investment
planning and general business case analysis all require quantitative support.
This 4-day course teaches the techniques necessary to model risk and uncertainty in
practice. The focus is on Monte Carlo simulation, but we also cover related topics, such
as sensitivity, scenario, optimisation, and decision-tree analysis, their applications,
implementation and relationship to risk and uncertainty analysis. The simulation
models will be implemented using both Excel/VBA (macros), as well as the Excel add-in
@RISK(a free trial copy will be used); in this way, participants learn how to run
simulations within their existing Excel environments, whilst being exposed to the
additional benefits that the use of an add-in can bring (in terms of the speed and
transparency of building and using a wide set of models).
The course is extremely hands-on and focusses on the direct implementation of the
techniques. Dozens of models will be built from scratch across a range of applications,
and using a range of approaches

ABOUT THE COURSE

EPC Contracts have become the preferred delivery method for many of the onshore and
offshore complex projects in the Oil and Gas sector. Their popularity is derived from the
increased risk sharing approaches they share with the contractor, making them more
attractive in an industry that seeks to more effectively share the risk and the reward. They
often include multiple parties, and work across borders which brings with it its own
challenges. As a commercial professional it is vital that you understand the structure,
formation and key clauses of these contracts to negotiate and draft agreements that will
deliver successful outcomes and limit the risk for project and organization.
Delegates will get an unprecedented insight on strategizing and drafting their EPCIC
contracts from the initial stage of preparation, tendering process, contract management,
until the last stage of possible force majeure and conflict management. Aside from the
coverage on how to draft the key terms of EPCIC contracts, participants will learn how to
tackle the critical issues faced upon instances of delayed scheduled, cost overruns,
substandard quality, massive change order, project abandonment, and many more
real-life problem scenarios. Extensive range of exercises and case studies will be tackled
to present a methodological approach to successful EPCIC contract preparation and
management.

ABOUT THE COURSE

A Production Sharing Contract (PSC) is, in simplified terms, an agreement between the
state and a contractor, where the contractor agrees to explore for and produce
petroleum reserves within a defined contract area in return for an agreed economic
share of the petroleum produced. PSCs are used in key oil and gas producing
countries, each of these have different approaches and levels of complexity. Moreover,
new PSCs have been recently adopted and developed in some key jurisdictions, such
as Brazil and Mexico. These complex agreements include a number of clauses that
have particular legal interpretation and accompanying fiscal formulas. Therefore, it is
crucial to have the correct understanding of the terms in order to calculate the formulas
correctly and ensure a smooth agreement implementation.

All contracts require a minimum level of management oversight but, as complexity and
risk increase, so the need for performance monitoring rises. Effective performance
monitoring is part of the contract management process and needs to be included in the
contract specification.
Post-contract appraisal is fundamental to contract and supplier relationship
management it allows the buyer and supplier to monitor compliance, identify
non-compliance and trigger corrective action including contractual penalties and
assess supplier performance and compares it with its peers.

The EVM concept is based on the measurement of the budgeted value of the work
actually carried out and its comparison with the budgeted value of the work that
should have been carried out and what it actually costs. Project managers and their
key team members not conversed with this concept are finding themselves at a
considerable disadvantage, not only in dealing with internal and external competition
for increasingly scarce resources, but also in satisfying the need of increasingly

ABOUT THE COURSE
Cost engineering is the art of assigning value to that which has been or will be
engineered. One key objective of cost engineering is to arrive at accurate cost
estimates and schedules and to avoid cost overruns and schedule slips. Cost
engineering goes beyond preparing cost estimates and schedules by supporting
assessment and decision making. "The discipline of cost engineering can be
considered to encompass a wide range of cost-related aspects of engineering and
programme management, but in particular cost estimating, cost analysis/cost
assessment, design-to-cost, schedule analysis/planning and risk assessment."
The first day will provide basic understanding of definitions of cost estimations, cost
control and planning. The participants will be able to read cost engineering reports
and put in the perspective of the project. Second day, will provide knowledge to
prepare and evaluate estimates quicker and more accurately. This will immediately
have its effect on the control you have on the cost of your project. After Day Three,
you will be able to make your own factor estimates and validate factor estimates
prepared by others. At the end of this course, the trainer will give comprehensive
insight on how to identify major cost risks of engineering.
This course will help you keep the cost down for your engineering phases, but as a
result you can also prevent budget overruns. A number of cases will be presented
during the course to make it more practical and allow you to apply the principles you
have learned.

ABOUT THE COURSE
ABOUT THE COURSE
Although international trends show a decline in the overall total number of accidental
deaths and work place accidents, the associated financial costs, both direct and
indirect, continue to rise. Many oil and gas companies continue to have employee
accidents despite modern industry having the knowledge or know-how to prevent such
accidents. There is an obvious requirement that those professionals undertaking
enforcement or regulatory activities in a team must have competence to undertake
efficient and analytical accident/incident investigations, which may in the course of
due legal process be further examined and scrutinized by legal tests. This course has
been designed to meet the requirements of Principle and Lead Regulatory and
enforcement officers who are required to undertake competent accident investigations
and examinations across a wide range of industries, including the hydrocarbon
industry. The program includes practical exercises as well as a detailed review of
accident events in oil and gas companies resulting in a fatality involving a number of
hazard and risk profiles. A number of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) tools will be reviewed
and applied during the course.
Maritime accidents and casualties are common scenarios in the shipping industry, as
such, handling the situation, knowing proper investigation methodologies, and
learning from every incident to avoid costly settlements are essential to todays
offshore maritime business.
Maritime incident investigation is a practical course that will provide delegates with an
understanding as how to best manage investigation process, develop incident
investigation system, and learn how effective analysis of maritime accidents are keys

ABOUT THE COURSE

What are your lagging or trailing indicators to measure safety in your organization? The
traditional measures alone limit the ability of leaders to showcase leadership, as they
can only measure once failure has happened. This course will allow participants to
learn about trailing indicators, which will be useful for revealing safety improvement
opportunities, trend analysis, prioritizing safety initiatives, confirming intervention
effectiveness, and regulatory statistics. Other applications of leading indicators such
as activities, behaviors, and accomplishments, which can be measured using safety
system audits, accident investigation, near-miss responses, safety communications,
safety committee activities, job safety analysis completions, safety
climate/perception surveys, and observed safe behavior, will also be covered. This
course will tackle both quantitative and qualitative measures of safety maintenance
performance. Delegates will learn about economic and technical ratios, value-based
and balanced scorecards, system audits, composite formulations, and statistical and
partial maintenance productivity indices. For qualitative assessments, the observed
human factors are used to as supplementary analysis to the quantitative side.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Oil and gas companies invest massive amounts of money to build facilities and
equipment; develop policies and procedures; train their workforce, and yet still have
some of the worst accidents known to man. Accidents, minor to catastrophic, are more
often the result of our workforce culture than any other factors combined. Most
companies recognize the importance of their workforce and have struggled to change
the workplace culture for many years. This course aims to provide the manager with
proven tools for cultural change and moral enhancement, the best foundation for any
team, particularly if it is your team! Aside from demonstrating the limitations of our
current risk management tools, it will also explain how a well managed behavior based
safety system can improve profitability and the organizations ability to compete within
the oil and gas industry. The program initially looks at how many current risk
management processes set up the workforce for failure, and then the impact this
environment has on the workforce culture and individuals behaviors. In a
workshop-style training environment, we identify the bigger picture regarding poor
workplace morale and the impact it has on workplace operations and operational
costs. Several case studies will be discussed in order to learn from past industry
experience. Moreover, in-depth class discussion will be facilitated in order to promote
a good exchange of industry knowledge amongst delegates.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Most organizations have accident investigation procedures. However, these procedures are often based on a blame culture & do not inspire the investigator to find & correct the defects
in the management system (root causes) that allowed the hazards to exist & the accident to occur. Several industries have adopted excellent accident investigation & analysis
techniques. Competence in the application of modern accident/incident investigation tools will assist organizations to learn & to prevent the recurrence of accidents & to evaluate the
extent & location of management defects (root-causes), which contributed to the accident event. A good analytical accident investigation is invaluable to achieve continuous
improvement in an organizations HSE performance.
