Petroleum Project Management: Principles and Practices - PPM

Program Overview

This program teaches project management techniques for petroleum operations, enabling participants to enhance their exploration and production technology skills. Through instruction, discussions, and hands-on tasks, participants develop integrated plans, reduce uncertainty, and make informed decisions for efficient field development. This course also contributes towards PMI Project Development Units (PDUs).

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

Successful petroleum operations need a blend of technology, business savvy, and people skills. If you have a firm grasp of exploration or production technology, boost its impact by applying project management techniques. Running a staged program that integrates reservoir modelling, production estimating, drilling, and facility design is challenging. The tools and techniques covered in this course will help you meet that challenge. Upon completion, you will know how to:

• Make better decisions in field development that lead to high value and low cost
• Develop integrated plans to run the overall program
• Develop key deliverables for each stage of development to reduce uncertainty
Instruction, guided discussions and in-depth work tasks are used. You may choose a case study from several real-life situations that are based on the instructor's petroleum experience. Or you may bring the details of one of your own current programs.
