Special Topics Course

Plan of Development (POD)

Objectives
  • Understand the Plan of Development Process: Learn the technical and non-technical aspects (e.g., drilling, HSE, CSR) involved in creating and executing a POD in oil and gas projects.
  • Enhance Geology & Geophysics Knowledge: Deepen your understanding of geological, geophysical, and reservoir factors that influence oil and gas field development.
  • Master the Economics of Field Development: Gain insights into the economic considerations, commercial terms (e.g., PSC, DMO, depreciation, cost estimations), and incentives that drive field development decisions.
  • Apply Regulatory Frameworks: Grasp the key regulations, learn about the regulatory requirements for submitting a POD and other related documents like WP&B, AFE, and FQR.
  • Develop Real-World Skills: Engage in practical case studies to enhance your capability to apply POD concepts to real-world oil and gas projects covering geological, technical, and commercial aspects of POD, with hands-on exercises.
  • Comprehensive Project Cycle Knowledge: Explore the entire oil and gas project lifecycle from planning, testing, development, production, and abandonment, ensuring a well-rounded skill set for POD implementation.
Why you should join this training:

Led by professional trainers with extensive experience in oil and gas field development and regulation. This training delivers actionable insights into POD processes and directly applicable to your ongoing or future oil and gas projects, also helping you manage both technical and business aspects of field development. Build a competitive edge and improve your understanding to make more better decisions in field development strategies.
