Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in well workover and life extension; it has added to it. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in life extension — it punishes it. This programme builds the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It is written for people who have to make well workover and life extension work with the resources they already have. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda and revise it on evidence. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of life extension rather than to abstract argument. Most organisations already have a policy on well workover and life extension; far fewer can show it working. Across sectors, teams that rehearse life extension outperform teams that only plan it. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations that would make a visible difference.
