Prospect and Play Assessment - PPA - In House Training

This in-house training programme can be customised to meet your specific requirements. It typically covers:

• Geological controls of oil and gas occurrence: Their impact on exploration risk and success
• Review of common assessment methods: Selection of the most practical approach
• Application of volumetric prospect assessments: Techniques, comparative data, and graphs to estimate input factors, such as trap volume, porosity, net/gross saturation, hydrocarbon fill fraction, formation volume factors, and recovery efficiencies
• Probability methods: The expression of uncertainty for input factors and results including Monte Carlo techniques
• Risk analysis: Principles and practice
• Hydrocarbon charge assessment: Procedures for estimating possible amounts of oil and gas generated, migrated, and trapped in prospects
• Prospect assessment workshop: Projects supplied either by the instructor or by participants, worked by teams and reported to the entire group
• Play assessment techniques: Estimating the possible numbers, sizes, and associated risks for potential fields, with useful data on field densities, field-size distributions, oil versus gas relationships, and dependent versus independent risks
• Play recognition and mapping: Play classification and subdivision, and play maps that high-grade the most favorable areas with minimal geologic risks
• Play assessment workshop: Projects supplied either by the instructor or by participants, worked by teams and reported to the entire group
• Aggregation of assessment results: Summing, derisking, and preparation for economic analysis
• Limitations, pitfalls, uses, and discovery concepts: The philosophy of judging and using assessment results and the importance of basic geologic concepts
