Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how reservoir pressure management is controlled. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline; it has added to it. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations, not around theory headings. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting reservoir pressure management and under-invest in testing it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda that were visible long before the incident. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations and prepares them for it. Participants who influence reservoir pressure management without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants finish able to explain the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The programme closes with an action plan for the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline that each participant writes for their own organisation.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Prepare the technical case for capital investment in reservoir pressure management.
Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on reservoir pressure management for senior management.
Evaluate the environmental obligations arising from reservoir pressure management.
Verify that contractors working on reservoir pressure management meet the same standard as direct staff.
Compare the organisation's handling of reservoir pressure management with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.
Build the internal capability for reservoir pressure management rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
