Introduction
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. The case study indicates that inaccurate measurements of crude oil & gas production represent about 10% revenue loss to an asset with attendant legal consequences or confidence impact in some instances.
Other identified challenges associated with poor management of crude oil production include:-
- The weak deferment administration process
- Inefficient metering system
- Poor allocation and reconciliation processes.
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
By the end of this training course, you will learn to:
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
