Integrated Field Study Methodology

Instructors: Dan Tearpock
Course Length: 2 DAYS
Course CEUs: 1.6

Course Description
The synergistic team approach is a widely used and effective method of identifying reserve potential in mature fields. The makeup, organization, and responsibilities of the team members introduce the main topics of workflow and tasks that lead to a thorough evaluation of an existing field. The procedures for identifying production anomalies that can lead to additional development opportunities is a key part of the course.

In order to find and develop oil and gas resources in all phases of exploration and development, teams need to consider the "Shared Earth Model" approach. There are four stages of prospecting: initial exploration, initial field development, field redevelopment and that "Final Look". In this 2 day seminar we tackle the key ingredients required from initial field development through disposition of a property. We initially define Field Study Goals and Objectives. This is centered around synergistic multidisciplinary teamwork (makeup, organization and interdependency).

Prospect management, a key to integrated field study success, includes task identification (by discipline) and responsibilities, the development of a plan, workflows and project management models (CPM - Gantt). The use of the appropriate technology and methods integrated by all team members is presented. Finally various integrated field study examples and exercises are presented, including the planning of a mini-field study, to pull all the seminar material together.

Who should attend
Study team members from geology, geophysics, engineering, technical support, team leaders and managers.
