Best Practice in Exploration Management: Portfolio, Process & People

The 3 day course programme will examine tried and tested practices for managing a diverse portfolio of oil and gas exploration opportunities across the exploration asset life cycle. This cycle begins with new opportunity screening, proceeds through the evaluation of high-risk play-opening wildcats into maturing plays and finally to near-field satellite drilling and appraisal.

The course will be structured around:

• techniques for strategy definition and opportunity selection
• approaches to portfolio management,
• definition and application of technical standards and work-flows,
• the assessment of organisational and individual capability,
• methods for risk quantification and mitigation,
• application of technology
• exploration project management.
