Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how oil reserve evaluation is controlled. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda; it has added to it. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations in an order their organisation can absorb. Improvement in oil reserve evaluation stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a operating procedure for this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations as they go. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for oil reserve evaluation, not for observers of it. This programme builds the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations that participants can repeat annually.
