ON-THE-JOB GEOSCIENCES TRAINING On-the-job training is training that takes place while employees are actually working. It means that skills can be gained while trainees are carrying out their jobs. This benefits both employees and the business. Employees learn in the real work environment and gain experience in dealing with the tasks and challenges that they will meet during a normal working day. The business benefits by ensuring that the training is specific to the job. It also does not have to meet the additional costs of providing off-the-job training or losing working time. OTJ provides a flexible platform for organisational learning, involving systematic coaching of employees by supervisors or skilled staff using structured training processes and training documents. Up to 80% of work skills are acquired on the job, OTJ is vital in the retention of critical skills and knowledge, which will help organisations to respond quickly to the changing business requirements. In addition, companies that implemented structured OTJ reported up to 50% improvement in time-to-market, wastage reduction, customer service and staff retention. With OTJ, your company can respond faster to customers, improve staff performance and achieve better business results.

NATIONAL OIL COMPANIES: STRATEGIES TO SUSTAIN GROWTH IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET The current strategies, policies and requirements of National Oil Companies (NOCs) are having a substantial impact on the direction and dynamics of the present-day petroleum sector. Many of the national oil companies are moving away from their previous more nationalistic role as licensing agency and passive partner to the international oil companies. They are becoming active in developing and acquiring equity positions and resources in the international arena, both upstream and downstream. They are winning blocks and taking over companies. Several NOCs are now present in 20-30 countries. They are taking more of the economic rent in their own countries. They are dealing more with one another on a government to government basis and are actively competing with IOCs in bidding situations outside their own borders.

WELL SITE LEADERSHIP In your mission to deliver safe, compliant and reliable wells, the capabilities of the wellsite leader is crucial. How do you know if your wellsite leader has the relevant competencies to be successful, and are they “equipped” to do their jobs? An inexperienced or ill-equipped wellsite leader can result in poor productivity and unsafe conditions. In reality this is a very high cost to the operator, contractor and the service industry as a whole. Better leadership and management would have identified the risks at Macondo and prevented the technical failures that led to the blowout. Investigations confirm that the lack of leadership was associated with each technical failure experienced in Macondo.

ADVANCED SEISMIC DATA PROCESSING AND INTERPRETATION With the presence of new data acquisition techniques, like e.g. VSP, hole-to-hole, multi-component, and ocean bottom cable, also new processing methods have to be developed. New developments in data acquisition offer also new challenges in processing and new possibilities in interpretation. Such developments are a.o. longer offsets, multi-azimuth for marine data, broadband acquisition, multi-component streamer, passive seismic (seismic interferometry) and simultaneous shooting (blended seismic). Existing and new data sets will be exploited for optimal information retrieval: in addition to the conventional P-waves also the S-waves will be investigated and in addition to the kinematic properties, i.e. travel times, for velocity and structural determination also the dynamic properties, i.e. phase and amplitudes, for lithology and/or direct hydrocarbon indication will be investigated. Anisotropy, where present, should be taken into account and can be exploited for a.o. fracture orientation and density and time-to-depth conversion. The availability of other types of data like geological data and well data, in a production environment, should be properly integrated in inversion studies to initialize and constrain the results. This course deals with the advanced processing methods that are often carried out as part of a special study and may involve the integration of data acquisition, processing and interpretation as well as petrophysics, production geology and reservoir engineering. The topics that will be discussed cover the whole spectrum of what has become feasible nowadays. This includes a discussion of the new developments in acquisition as these have matured over the last couple of years. “This course is very good in providing wide aspects of advanced seismic processing with well management & sequential training modules. A complete set of training materials is also provided which is very usable for reference in my daily work.” Geoscientist, PCSB
Why You Should Attend The following topics will be discussed: • Developments in acquisition geometries and hardware • Stress-strain relationships and elastic constants • The wave equation, wave phenomena, rock physics and the Gassmann equation • Overview of seismic data processing • Migration or imaging • Velocity model building • Multi-component seismic and OBC/OBN seismic • Anisotropy • Borehole seismic – VSP • AVO/AVA • Seismic inversion • 4D seismic • Seismic attributes

APPLICATION OF STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY IN SEISMIC INTERPRETATION
An integrated training course with a focus on analysis and prediction of sealing faults and natural open fracture systems.This 5 day training course is focused on application issues in a work environment. Theory is kept to a minimum but an introduction to geo-mechanics is essential. Basic elements of this course are the integrated and multidisciplinary character of geology and fracture/fault systems. Prediction is only possible if the geo-mechanics of tectonic processes is understood.
Seismic interpretation requires understanding of structural development and its interrelation with the stratigraphic system. Bias and misunderstanding have unfortunately resulted in countless dry holes. So go beyond tracing horizons and understand their context within the structural system by extracting key information from seismic surveys and other datasets.
Why You Should Attend A critical examination of fracture detection tools and techniques forms an essential part of the course. Exercises and case histories are integrated with lectures and in-class analogue model experiments, emphasizing the pragmatic and practical nature of the course. Technical aspects of data acquisition and processing are briefly discussed, but do not form part of the curriculum. In addition to open fractures, sealing fractures and faults form also part of the course. Exercises based on real data and realistic examples form an important element of the sessions.
Who Should Attend The course is intended for geoscientists and subsurface engineers who deal with geological problems such as complex structural geometries in relation to fractured reservoirs. This theoretically sound but also pragmatic course will enable participants to use the acquired skills to predict location and orientation of open and sealing fractures where software will often fail due to insufficient data volume and/or quality.
What You Will Learn At the end of the course, guidelines for fractured reservoir management will be discussed. A course summary will be handed out with one page on each of the following topics: • Fracture mechanics • Fracture detection • Fracture prediction and Fractured reservoir management • Basic drilling strategies • Generic fracture study workflow • Management of reservoirs with sealing faults and/or fractures
Course is designed from an applied standpoint, with numerous examples and hands-on exercises from the petroleum industry. A very good course covered structural analysis in great details. Best structural course I have done and also a very good description of seismic attributes Pangaea Resources
Why You Should Attend You will learn a variety of modern structural concepts and techniques and their role in the interpretation of seismic data. Using an applied “hands-on” approach, participants will be exposed to a diversity of worldwide case examples with complementary exercises, both of an individual and group nature.

APPLIED PETROLEUM GEOSTATISTICS
AVO, ATTRIBUTES & INVERSION
An appreciation of what geostatistics can achieve is now essential in nearly all important aspects of exploration and production: gridding and contouring for making maps, upscaling for reservoir simulation and basin modelling, as well as the analysis of spatially referenced data of all kinds. Without needing to know the details of the algorithms and the mathematics behind them, being able to choose the most appropriate techniques and apply them correctly is fundamental to best practice throughout E&P. The course aims to provide knowledge of how to apply the various tools known as geostatistics, using both readily available software and more specialist packages.
This 5-Day training course provides an understanding of the evolving role of seismic petrophysics through the use of amplitude variations with offset or angle (AVO/AVA), attributes, and inversion techniques. Understanding rock physics and the behavior of the propagating seismic waves represents an integral part of the course, especially in the context of specific applications including enhanced seismic interpretation, rock and fluid characterization, including hydrocarbon identification and quantification, fracture identification, and stress/ geomechanical analysis.
Why You Should Attend The emphasis is on practical application and understanding of context over a consideration of the mathematics. The course includes using software for worked exercises, which give a practical introduction to what is available as well as providing useful tools to take back to the workplace. All participants will be required to bring a laptop for this course. Course overall goals: Establish why stochastic and geostatistical methods are useful in reservoir characterisation. Hence look at what tools and techniques can be used to construct models which better characterise uncertainty and which include more of the available geological knowledge, through information on spatial trends and continuity.
Who Should Attend Before attending the course it is expected that participants will have been working as a geologist, petrophysicist, geophysicist or engineer, following successful completion of at least an undergraduate course. Whilst no prior knowledge is assumed, even those with a basic knowledge of statistics and geostatistics will find the majority of the course content to be new, very useful and interesting.

Fractured reservoirs often display highly heterogeneous dynamic behaviour that is difficult to capture using standard reservoir modelling workflows. This course addresses all the relevant aspects of characterising and modelling fractured reservoirs to allow robust definitions of likely behaviour during production. Early analysis and integration of all available data, including dynamic data, are vital for the geologist and reservoir engineer to define the relationships between fracture and matrix parameters. Likely fracture distribution concepts (fold related, layer bound joints or fault related) can be defined and simple dynamic models built to test against well test or production data. In addition, first pass estimates of fracture porosity, fracture permeability and fracture sigma (fracture-matrix exchange factor) can be calibrated against available data. Fluid type is also important as gas reservoirs often only need simple modelling approaches compared with multiphase reservoirs. If the concepts and initial parameter estimates prove robust, more sophisticated techniques can be employed to produce more accurate models with greater control on parameter sensitivities. Parameters in these models can be defined from heterogeneous properties in geomodelling software or upscaled from Discrete Fracture Network packages. Sector models can then be taken and run in reservoir simulators in dual porosity or dual permeability modes. Further upscaling may be required to define useable full field dual porosity or dual permeability models. Throughout this process, iteration of the modelling workflow is key to provide tight integration of all the available data and constrain parameter estimates. Great place to start thought process around fractured reservoir. HESS
Why You Should Attend The course goes through the entire process of project definition, data gathering and analysis, concept definition and static and dynamic modelling iterations. This will help participants to understand fractured reservoirs and define the most efficient way to model them for a given set of objectives.
Who Should Attend This 3–Day course is designed for practising mid to senior level geologists and reservoir engineers. Geophysicists and petrophysicists aware of reservoir modelling techniques would also benefit.

IMAGE LOG INTERPRETATION The dipmeter is unfortunately one of the least utilized interpretation tools available to the geoscientist, despite widespread structural and stratigraphic applications. Thus, this course is designed to provide participants with a detailed understanding of dipmeter and bore hole image acquisition, interpretation techniques, and data integration into geologic and geophysical models. Applications of both wireline images (e.g., FMI/FMS-type images and ultrasonic acoustic) and modern LWD images (e.g., electrical, density, PEF, acoustic, gamma ray, etc.) form the primary backbone of the course. Using an applied “hands-on” approach, participants will be exposed to a diversity of world-wide case examples with complementary exercises, both of an individual and group nature. Course is designed from an applied standpoint, with numerous examples and hands-on exercises from the petroleum industry.
Why You Should Attend Course content in Summary: • Image Log Types – Stuck on wireline FMI? Try full 360° LWD highresolution electrical, azimuthal resistivity, gamma ray, density, acoustic, and photoelectric logs. • Visualization – Simple manipulations to advanced 4D visualization maximizes interpretation and understanding, from the technical analysts to managerial levels. • Structure and stratigraphy – Get the most of those dipmeter logs and image logs, including advanced structural analysis and stratigraphic/sedimentalogical investigation. • Wellbore Stability – Understand the pressure system and borehole response to safely guide the bit to the target. • Geosteering and Reservoir Navigation – Take the guess work out of reservoir navigation by understanding the full capabilities of modern full 360° LWD image logs. • Data Integration – Incorporation of both modern LWD image logs and wireline images into the overall data stream of other geological, geophysical, petrophysical and engineering data sets is a must for truly understanding the petroleum system.

PROSPECT MATURATION
Today’s technology allows us to zoom into the details of the subsurface in a manner that was not possible some time ago. While this provides much valuable insight into prospect-specific details, it may also result in us neglecting the regional aspects of the geology. In a Play-Based Exploration approach the ‘play’ is the main focus of evaluation. Considering prospects in a context of regional basin development and play understanding will results in a better understanding of risks and opportunities, as well as in a greater consistency of prospect assessments.
The prospect maturation process, from a lead to a drillable prospect, is at the heart of the exploration business. This course will cover all aspects of the prospect maturation process: play understanding in the context of regional geological understanding; detailed prospect evaluation; realistic risk & volume assessment consistent with the play understanding and prospect details, and an introduction to exploration economics. Throughout the course there is a strong focus on pragmatic (geo)logical approach for assessing those aspects that are input parameters for a meaningful assessment of prospect risks and volumes, with emphasis on a balanced integration of contributions from different sub-surface disciplines.
This course has been very insightful about how exploration can be successfully done. Senior Geoscientist, PEYRONAS Carigali
Why You Should Attend This 3-Day training course will introduce participants to the PlayBased Exploration workflow through many individual and group exercises and discussions.

SUBSURFACE MAPPING IN EXPLORATION DEVELOPMENT Subsurface geologic maps are the most important and widely used document in petroleum exploration and development. Geoscientists and engineers are expected to understand and be able to efficiently and accurately generate many types of subsurface maps. Nevertheless, many geoscientists have not had sufficient formal training in the fundamental principles and methods that accurately underlie constructed subsurface maps, whether the data source is a seismic interpretation, well log correlation or both. During the exploration and development process, understanding of the subsurface geometry, incorporating both structural and stratigraphic framework, are essential to understanding the 4D development of potential reservoirs. Subsurface maps represent the cornerstone of data presentation and information transfer in oil & gas exploration & development, whether well log based, seismic based, or both. We focus on the fundamental principles and methodologies of accurately conveying critical data and information via subsurface mapping.

ADVANCED WELL STIMULATION STRATEGIES Optimal drainage of a reservoir, both physically and economically, is not as straightforward as it used to be. Different well paths are available for different geological structures: conventional vertical, vertical, slanted and horizontal wells. Next to that various types of multi-lateral, multiple horizontal wells, complete the picture. The question is: How do we clean, stimulate or otherwise optimize the inflow into these fancy completions? In the drive towards more technically challenging completions and the development of unconventional reservoirs, such as shale gas, heavy oil or coal bed methane not enough attention is paid to the details of inflow performance optimization. This can result in poor or less than optimum production. Asset managers, advisors and engineers involved in the planning, execution, and evaluation of well completions need to have the background in what is possible using modern well stimulation techniques and tools. This course combined several years of expertise from two very knowledgeable professionals and renown experts in the oil & gas industry PE, ZADW

FRACTURED RESERVOIR CHARACTERISATION This course provides a practical & integrated approach to characterising and modelling natural fractures where they are important for hydrocarbon delivery. Fractured reservoirs often display highly heterogeneous dynamic behaviour that is difficult to capture using standard reservoir modelling workflows. This course addresses all the relevant aspects of characterising and modelling fractured reservoirs to allow robust definitions of likely behaviour during production. Early analysis and integration of all available data, including dynamic data, are vital for the geologist and reservoir engineer to define the relationships between fracture and matrix parameters. Likely fracture distribution concepts (fold related, layer bound joints or fault related) can be defined and simple dynamic models built to test against well test or production data. In addition, first pass estimates of fracture porosity, fracture permeability and fracture sigma (fracture-matrix exchange factor) can be calibrated against available data. Fluid type is also important as gas reservoirs often only need simple modelling approaches compared with multiphase reservoirs. If the concepts and initial parameter estimates prove robust, more sophisticated techniques can be employed to produce more accurate models with greater control on parameter sensitivities. Parameters in these models can be defined from heterogeneous properties in geomodelling software or upscaled from Discrete Fracture Network packages. Sector models can then be taken and run in reservoir simulators in dual porosity or dual permeability modes. Further upscaling may be required to define useable full field dual porosity or dual permeability models. Throughout this process, iteration of the modelling workflow is key to provide tight integration of all the available data and constrain parameter estimates. Great place to start thought process around fractured reservoir. HESS
Why You Should Attend The course goes through the entire process of project definition, data gathering and analysis, concept definition and static and dynamic modelling iterations.

PRODUCTION & COMPLETIONS
ADVANCED WELL STIMULATION STRATEGIES Optimal drainage of a reservoir, both physically and economically, is not as straightforward as it used to be. Different well paths are available for different geological structures: conventional vertical, vertical, slanted and horizontal wells. Next to that various types of multi-lateral, multiple horizontal wells, complete the picture. The question is: How do we clean, stimulate or otherwise optimize the inflow into these fancy completions? In the drive towards more technically challenging completions and the development of unconventional reservoirs, such as shale gas, heavy oil or coal bed methane not enough attention is paid to the details of inflow performance optimization. This can result in poor or less than optimum production. Asset managers, advisors and engineers involved in the planning, execution, and evaluation of well completions need to have the background in what is possible using modern well stimulation techniques and tools. This course combined several years of expertise from two very knowledgeable professionals and renown experts in the oil & gas industry PE, ZADW
In the aftermath of the Macondo blowout, most operating companies across the globe are reviewing on how they manage well control. In most cases, the focus of attention has been directed towards drilling operations. However, many well control incidents occur during completion, workover and intervention operations.

GASLIFT DESIGN, OPERATIONS & TROUBLESHOOTING
HEAVY OIL FIELDS DEVELOPMENT & PRODUCTION
Gaslifting oil wells is one of the most flexible and cost effective artificial lift techniques, the success of any gaslift system depends on an adequate and reliable source of lift gas. Deviated completions or sand production can be handled by gaslift completions, surveillance operations (PLTs, perforations) can be handled through tubing. Well entries to replace gaslift valves are relatively cheap compared to other forms of artificial lift. The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the gas lift system, design and operation. The course will prove valuable to production and completion engineers who are involved in artificial lift selection and the design and troubleshooting of gaslift completions.
Heavy oil is now seen as 50% of the world’s future energy source from oil. As conventional oil resources deplete heavy oil looks to be the next target for onshore and offshore energy supplies. As extraction technologies improve, heavy oil is becoming more feasible to meet the increasing global demand with the fast depletion of conventional oil resources.

SUBSEA PIPELINE ENGINEERING
The LPG industry is well established but continuously undergoes changes depending on market demands. To ensure the industry remains safe, secure, efficient, and in-line with international and national environmental policies, parties working at all levels should first be aware of what LPG is and where it comes from. Once this is known and understood, there can be a better understanding of what is necessary to mitigate risks whilst at the same time improve safety and enhance efficiency during LPG shipment and operations.
Subsea pipelines are the arteries of the offshore industry and more than 18,000km are in service all around the world. Part of almost every project, they often form a large component of project cost. This course will provide a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of Subsea Pipeline Engineering, taking delegates through the pre-design phase, design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance.
When things do go wrong it is equally beneficial to understand how to tackle the emergency, but this can only be effectively achieved if you first know the characteristics and peculiarities of the commodity you are handling. LPG lies between natural gas (NG), transported as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and oil (whether crude or refined oil), and therefore knowing how it reacts under extreme heat and/or pressure is something everyone handling it should be made aware of. PetroEdge offers expert trainers to give presentation and for follow up contacts after the course.
Why You Should Attend
The objectives of this course is to provide the participants with: • An understanding of the main two sources of LPG, how it burns in domestic and industrial use, and its use as feed stock • An appreciation of how LPG is traded • An overview of the different types of LPG Carriers • Knowledge on the characteristics of LPG, and the associated hazards if not contained or transported correctly • An insight on how LPG is quantified, and the instruments used • A unique opportunity for direct interaction with one of the industry’s most experienced authorities on LPG terminal design, transportation and measurement.
Who Should Attend
Any new comer to the LPG industry would be an obvious choice, but over the years it has been found beneficial to those already in the industry in need of a refresher. This 2-Day course has been compiled to provide an insight into where LPG comes from, how it is used and distributed with some emphasis on shipping LPG in bulk. This course has been kept as low-tech as possible in order to allow the both none technically inclined and technical personnel to understand the contents. There is plenty to interest those who are engaged in key roles within the oil and gas industry such as directors, managers, ship owners, ship managers, charterers, brokers, and the essential supporting staff such as those in HR, safety, legal, commercial, trading, insurance and other similar roles.

MAINTENANCE PLANNING & SCHEDULING A key component of production cost is maintenance and the key role of maintenance is to guarantee the reliability of the production. The crucial element for ensuring that maintenance is cost effectively delivered is the planning and scheduling of maintenance tasks. Given the huge impact maintenance management can have on production output, as well as the increasing tendency for maintenance departments to be asked to do “more with less”, it is essential that maintenance professionals strive towards the implementation of best practices in maintenance planning. Ron Moore, author of Making Common Sense Common Practice, quotes benchmarking studies that show that reactive maintenance correlates strongly with poor plant or facility performance. Yet many companies are still operating in this fire-fighting mode. A proactive approach means that we regain control of the work we do and it’s timing. This leads to improved safety and availability. This course provides a methodology for: pre-planning routine maintenance tasks generated by predictive and preventive maintenance programs, planning tasks to recover from malfunction or breakdown and a strategy to allow us to cope with random failure. The course will cover the essential steps we need to take to plan and schedule our maintenance work properly. That will help maximize the proactive content and further our goal of achieving best-in-class performance. The 3-Day course has been excellent, more details and explanation given by the lecturer, better understanding and can be applied to my job. WPSE - Planner WOP/23, Brunei Shell Petroleum

PIPELINE RISK MANAGEMENT & ASSESSMENT
PROCESS CONTROL METHODS
Risk management has been embraced by both the pipeline industry and regulatory agencies as a way to not only increase public safety but also to optimise all aspects of pipeline design, operations, and maintenance.
This course describes the main elements of a control system in proportional only, proportional plus integral and proportional plus integral plus derivative control. The advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed. Describes the principle behind the selection of controller types and controller actions. We aim to both improve and impress development of each delegate to achieve a standard whereby a company will take some advantage from the technicians work based role.
Why You Should Attend This course begins with a review of risk management concepts and risk assessment methodologies and then focuses on the most practical risk assessment technique available to the pipeline industry. The emphasis throughout is on practical, ready-to-apply techniques that yield immediate and cost-effective benefits. Participants will leave with the necessary tools to begin or strengthen risk assessment practice leading to a formalized risk management program. As much as possible, course content will be directed to specific audience needs.
Who Should Attend
Anyone requiring a working knowledge of pipeline risk concepts and how they can be efficiently employed to enhance pipeline operations, maintenance, design, and regulatory compliance. Attendees should be prepared to engage in hands-on team and individual exercises designed to solidify theoretical concepts into practical applications.
What You Will Learn This workshop is designed to equip attendees with the information and the know-how to set up and implement a comprehensive risk management program for pipelines. It will go into considerable depth in explaining the latest methods for risk profiling. The focus will be on the establishment of a program that not only fulfills regulatory requirements, but also gives the pipeline owner/operator a long-term decision support tool.
Why You Should Attend The amount of financial loss due to poorly tuned control loops is said to be vast and represents a massive loss to the industry. If you can understand and apply process control and specifically advanced control techniques, you can dramatically increase performance and profitability. This course helps you by providing the reasoning behind the theory and giving you a standard procedure for tuning each type of loop. A section of this also provides details to the delegate on environmental requirements which govern our practices for the foreseeable future.

RELIABILITY ENGINEERING
Business success depends on how well we manage risks. A plan to determine what to do and when to do it is a good starting point. Maintenance, which helps us safely manage productive capacity, is no exception to this principle. We need risk-based tools such as Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) to do this successfully. It is not enough to understand how to analyse; we need to implement our plans well, as the fruits only come with the execution of work. This 5-Day masterclass will discuss implementation hurdles and how to overcome them. Participants must be equipped with the basic theory, simplified maths and a real understanding of the terminology, calculation methods and application of the science.
The reliability of a Plant or Facility determines it's performance – process safety, environmental and cost performance all depend on it. It is thus a pivotal driver, which we can use to make significant business gains. Unfortunately it is often seen as a black art, best left to mathematicians or other specialists.
Very good course and useful to me. Now I know how to do RCM and what other departments are doing. The course leader is very knowledgeable. Central Service Planner, Brunei LNG
Why You Should Attend Special features of this 5-Day course: Examine Implementation Challenges of RCM • Analysis is always the easy part. Many RCM projects fail because there is not enough thought given to implementation and change management. In this workshop, we will spend time to discuss the soft issues that can affect effort to implement RCM results. Success criteria and pitfalls need to be well understood, so that will get attention Measurement and Justification of RCM projects • Engineers measure many things, but are usually poor at measuring their own performance. They seem unable to speak the language of the Board Room and put their case to senior management. Delegates will get guidance on these ‘tough’ topics.
Who Should Attend
RCM is best done in teams; therefore we invite multi-disciplinary teams representing Operations, Maintenance Disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical and Instrumentation) from the Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Petrochemical and related Process Industries. You will benefit whether you are a supervisor, manager or specialist.
This practical training course will show you that it is easy to understand and explains how to use data from operating and maintenance records and get the results. This course is a MUST for anyone who is keen to improve the reliability of their plants / facilities. Inspection & Fixed Equipment Reliability Supervisor, Saudi Aramco Mobil Refinery
Why You Should Attend The links between maintenance and reliability, and the effect of Reliability on Process & Environmental Safety, Production volumes and maintenance costs will become clear.
Who Should Attend
Engineers from industries including Oil & Gas (Upstream and Downstream), Power Generation, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Manufacturing can apply the learning to their advantage. They can be from Production, Maintenance, Projects, Design and Inventory Management teams. For optimal results, a University degree in Science or Engineering is desirable, as some mathematical background knowledge is necessary. Managers, supervisors or support staffs from different disciplines are all suitable. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers conducts two courses every year on Risk & Reliability Strategies based entirely on the book “Effective Maintenance Management: Risk and Reliability Strategies for Optimal Performance” by V. Narayan.

To ensure targets are met and continuous improvements made, many organizations have institutionalized the proactive Asset Management process but are still to address the reactive/ breakdown process. The RCA process is a problem-solving methodology aimed at identifying the root causes of problems or events and eliminating reoccurrence. The practice of RCA is predicated on the belief that problems are best solved by attempting to address, correct or eliminate root causes, as opposed to merely addressing the immediately obvious symptoms. By directing corrective measures at root causes, it is more probable that reoccurring problems will be prevented. This saves time, money, and resources and will break the fire-fighting nexus and free up more time for proactive maintenance.

BUNKER QUALITY AND CLAIMS MANAGEMENT Marine fuel producers and suppliers strive to meet lower sulphur limits in a very competitive global market. However bunkers represent more than 50% of the operating costs of a ship, marine fuel buyers seek to obtain the lowest possible price. These two factors seem to put pressure on quality, and claims appear to be increasing. Not only do engines suffer damage but ships are delayed on voyages to effect emergency repairs and further time and costs are usually involved with unscheduled port visits for de-bunkering and additional repairs. Occasionally,v waste products are found in bunker fuel and these are not immediately detected by routine analysis. Obtaining technical evidence to support damage claims resulting from such incidents is complex and costly and if this process is not handled carefully, all parties in the supply chain can be stranded with high costs and little chance of recovery. This course is designed to address all the aspects of bunker fuel production, markets, supply chain logistics, delivery procedures, measurement, specifications, sampling, fuel treatment on board, routine and advanced analysis and claims management.

Like many commodities, LPG originates usually away from suitable markets, and is therefore customarily shipped in bulk on purpose built LPG Carriers (LPGC) of various sizes depending on the needs of a particular market. Keeping pace with relatively recent events requires a good understanding of LPG operations from its origins to its distribution. Shipping operations are a complicated matter, and for the nonmariner can be bewildering in its language and complexity. In open waters all ships are relatively safe if they follow international regulations, but when within confined waters, as when entering and leaving port, their manoeuvrability is hampered by design and the closeness of bathymetry, topography, structures and other shipping.
Why You Should Attend

TRADING & SUPPLY CHAIN
BUNKER QUALITY AND CLAIMS MANAGEMENT Marine fuel producers and suppliers strive to meet lower sulphur limits in a very competitive global market. However bunkers represent more than 50% of the operating costs of a ship, marine fuel buyers seek to obtain the lowest possible price. These 2 factors seem to put pressure on quality, and claims appear to be increasing. Not only do engines suffer damage but ships are delayed on voyages to effect emergency repairs and further time and costs are usually involved with unscheduled port visits for debunkering and additional repairs. Occasionally, waste products are found in bunker fuel and these are not immediately detected by routine analysis. Obtaining technical evidence to support damage claims resulting from such incidents is complex and costly and if this process is not handled carefully, all parties in the supply chain can be stranded with high costs and little chance of recovery. This course is designed to address all the aspects of bunker fuel production, markets, supply chain logistics, delivery procedures, measurement, specifications, sampling, fuel treatment on board, routine and advanced analysis and claims management. This course has provided a greater insight to the Bunkering landscape and is relevant/updated. I will encourage everyone to come for a refresher/better introduction Trader, Chemoil International Pte Ltd

ECONOMICS OF UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES AND LNG PROJECTS
This 3-Day course reviews the upstream economic aspects of Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs). It describes in detail the financial structure and mechanisms of PSCs across the world and the economic and value implications of the various terms. The course is punctuated with a number of worked examples and case studies taken from actual contracts in the global oil industry.
The course focuses on three main areas: • The Fundamentals of petroleum project economics, fiscal systems and valuation • The economics of unconventional projects • The economics of LNG projects
Very good course for non-economists for understanding the basics of Petroleum Economics & PSCs Executive Analyst, Petroliam
Who Should Attend The course is designed for those working in the upstream industry who are not familiar with PSCs and those who require either a working or practical knowledge of the financial mechanics and economic aspects of the contracts. Whilst it is suitable for delegates from all technical and commercial disciplines, some background knowledge in upstream economics would be an advantage.
What You Will Learn • • • • • • •
Investigate cost recovery Understand profit sharing Learn about bonuses and bonus calculations Examine sliding scale fiscal mechanisms Identify taxation liability and allowances Study ring fence calculations and examples Analyse and discuss the economics of PSCs
Notes for participants: - A comprehensive course manual with model answers to the workshop questions will be provided. A working knowledge of Microsoft® Excel is required. - Delegates will be required to bring a laptop with Excel loaded to undertake the workshops.
Why You Should Attend The first part of the course provides delegates with a thorough understanding of petroleum economics, fiscal systems and valuation techniques. We draw on Robertson’s extensive global database of fiscal systems in order to provide delegates with case studies. Techniques learnt are then applied over the next two days when the specifics of unconventional and LNG projects are discussed. The unconventional part of the course discusses all the types of unconventional projects that are currently in operation around the world before moving on to the specifics of Shale Gas/ Oil and Coalbed Methane (CBM). We consider the characteristics of the reservoirs which in turn determine the development plan, facilities requirements and project economics. LNG is a method of developing large gas structures providing flexibility of supply. It comes with its own unique characteristics around contracts, pricing and fiscal terms. Overall project economics can only be determined by considering project returns across the whole value chain. Delegates will partake in a modelling workshop to consolidate their understanding of this subject. Delegates will be provided with electronic copies of all workshop solutions and examples. They will all have a comprehensive hard copy course manual.
Who Should Attend This 3-Day practical course introduces delegates to petroleum economics and its application in both an unconventionals and LNG project setting. It is suitable for delegates of all technical and commercial disciplines from oil and gas companies, governments, banks, legal and accounting organisations.

WELL COSTING
Increase your understanding of the key refinery business performance dynamics, and master the techniques and tools used to optimise productivity and profitability in this complex and highly competitive sector.
Among all the activities undertaken by oil and gas companies, well drilling could rank as one of the most expensive and riskiest decisions. The cost of drilling a well is constantly being reviewed and contested in the industry today as it moves towards exploring for hydrocarbons in more difficult locations, ever deeper water and unconventional plays. Combined with the high costs in the exploration process, fluctuating price of oil and increased demand for technology, well costs continue to climb.
The Refining Economics course includes lectures, worked examples, and group based work to provide answers to some complex stream valuation questions. Upon completion of this course, participants will have gained a broad understanding of the many economic aspects of oil refining. There will be ample opportunities for attendees to interact with the speaker and other participants to exchange knowledge and ideas relating to refinery optimisation and profit improvement. This course differs from economics courses offered by others in focusing on the economic drivers on which day-to-day and longer term operational decisions are based. It will help analysts to understand the economics that are provided by linear programs, and how streams are valued. No longer will analysts answer management questions with the response “Because the LP says so!”
Why You Should Attend Our Refining Economics course aims to promote a better understanding of the key refinery business performance levers, and the techniques and tools used to optimise and improve business performance.
