Financial considerations for projects and investments are an ever increasing concern. This is especially true as petroleum projects become more complex and costly. Successful companies work using a decision making framework which includes a strict project progression (or gating) procedure to allow sound financial decisions to be made based upon a rigorous analysis of risk and uncertainty. It is therefore critical that all key members of the te...

This intensive 2 day course will provide participants with a solid all-round grounding in the technologies, concepts, methods and language used in oil and gas drilling. The variables and uncertainties inherent in the subsurface data used to design a well will be highlighted and their potential impact on the drilling process will be explored. Participants will see how a well design incorporates this uncertainty and how execution of the drilling...

This course will provide a broad grounding in the integrity and durability considerations of operating and maintaining a gas turbine. The course starts with covering the reasons why the turbine’s operating conditions are arduous and inevitably lead to the use of special materials and design procedures to estimate component lives. It then moves on to consider the inevitable degradation which occurs during operation, and which gives rise t...
