Upstream Oil and Gas Asset Management
Overview

A Shared Learning Workshop
Objectives
This Shared Learning Workshop is designed for those who seek to expand their competencies in the management of upstream assets. A major portion of the learning is achieved through the practical and realistic application of asset management principles to the integration of upstream technology, best operating practices, economics, contracting, risk assessment and markets to a realistic workshop assignment. The objective of the assignment is to achieve the highest value from the management of upstream petroleum assets over their lifetimes.

Learning Format
The learning format includes presentations by industry specialists and, most importantly, the shared learning that occurs among teams of participants as they face a realistic and challenging upstream business game. Actual reservoir data and specially developed in-house software are used in this simulation workshop.

Who Should Attend
Specialists in upstream petroleum and natural gas asset management, especially those involved in upstream technology, management, marketing and operations will find this shared learning program to be especially useful. Participants with background in other specialties will find the program challenging and will also be able to make significant contributions to the team decisions.

Workshop
The workshop setting is the Republic of Sucre, located next to Venezuela in Latin America. The Exploration Team has identified a significant prospect for drilling and it is up to the Workshop teams to manage the development and production of the prospect through the end of the production license. The exploration, field development and ongoing production decisions are made in light of technology, economics, finance, available markets, changing prices, and political disruptions. Teams are free to develop and manage the field according to their own best judgement; however their financial performance is measured and the team that demonstrates the best performance is awarded the Workshop Prize.

Computer and Software Resources
Each team will have access to a PC/Workstation and IHRDC software to be used to undertake the assignments. This will include IPIMS.ep, IHRDC’s E&P learning system. Participants who have access to a laptop are encouraged to bring it with them for their use during the program.

Program Location and Accommodations
The program will be held at the John Hancock Conference Center in the attractive Back Bay section of Boston. Known as America's Walking City, Boston is also the historical, educational, and cultural center of the United States. For your convenience, IHRDC has reserved guest rooms for program attendees at several area hotels. Enrollees needing assistance with accommodations should contact IHRDC for bookings. Rooms are limited-early reservations are encouraged.
