Managing and Evaluating Performance of Surface Production Facilities

Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Oil and gas production in the form of accurate measurement and back-allocating volumes to the wells, efficient production deferment tracking and enhanced integrated production planning process poses a challenge to proper management of an oilfield asset. In the oilfield, it is a routine practice to carry out these activities (consciously or otherwise) without recognizing and adhering to best practices.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the challenges associated with production operations management
• Highlight best practice in metering, deferment administration, and planning
• Generate strategy to meet the business-driver in an asset using a case study
• Provide appropriate improvement process
• Manage an operating asset with best-in-class practice initiative
• Understand the best management approach peculiar to your asset
• Recognize what to watch for in production operations practice
• Develop an asset-specific integrated production plan
• Develop asset-specific metering and deferment framework
