Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on thermal heavy oil recovery both accrue interest. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in oil recovery; it has added to it. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations and revise it on evidence. It treats thermal heavy oil recovery as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. What blocks progress on the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The content is relevant to those who own oil recovery and to those who are held accountable for its results. The most reliable predictor of sound thermal heavy oil recovery is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Every module pairs a short input on oil recovery with structured practice on the participant's own material. The final session converts the week's work on the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability into commitments with owners and dates.
