This course addresses field development project management principles and practices as they relate to engineering design; procurement; and construction activities for upstream facilities in the oil and gas industry. The specific training received in schedule and cost management and the proper use of scarce resources (people and materials) will help the project manager make the best decisions possible. Upon completion of this course, the participant will know what the engineering, procurement and construction phases entail and be able to fit-for purpose project management techniques and project control tools to facilitate successful project outcomes. Participants will understand how the project management, drilling and completion, HSE, land, production and transportation disciplines relate to one another and what tools are available for the project manager to use to ensure interfaces among key stakeholders are managed. The course is taught using a combination of instruction, facilitated discussion, and hands-on exercises using "real-world" project examples related to facilities design, procurement, and construction. The exercises will include both individual and group activities that will provide each participant with a hands-on application of the principles and practices discussed throughout the course.The course does not address:Small facility maintenance or replacement type projects which are typically less than $5 MM, or well design procurement or construction.
This course addresses the special requirements associated with developing oil and gas plays where repetitive projects, such as well flow lines, tank batteries, booster compressors, short pipelines and meter stations, are a part of a larger field development program. It is intended for project managers, project engineers, facility engineers, operations engineers, project controls and purchasing personnel who plan, manage, or participate on multi-discipline field development project teams. Special emphasis will be placed on $5 MM to $50 MM projects associated with unconventional field development projects, such as shale oil and coal bed methane, as well as projects associated with conventional plays.
