Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on sedimentary reservoir modelling both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability — it punishes it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations is rarely technical. The programme suits teams tackling sedimentary reservoir modelling together as readily as individuals attending alone. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations, ready to be adapted internally. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The course sets out a working method for sedimentary reservoir modelling that participants can apply the week they return. A common pattern is strong design of the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability paired with weak follow-through. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline rather than a set of notes.
