Oil and Gas Management

Overview

Introduction:

Oil and gas management represents the institutional framework that organizes exploration portfolios, development planning, production systems, and commercial structures across the sector. Its importance appears in how organizations coordinate technical, financial, and regulatory elements to maintain asset stability and strategic continuity. This training program presents models and structured frameworks that clarify decision processes, organizational structures, and institutional mechanisms within the oil and gas domain.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program,participants will be able to:

  • Analyze institutional components that structure oil and gas sector management.

  • Evaluate upstream development models and their decision implications.

  • Classify production-system elements using structured operational criteria.

  • Determine governance mechanisms regulating commercial and regulatory alignment.

  • Assess integrated planning structures supporting lifecycle asset management.

Target Audience:

  • Oil and gas managers.

  • Reservoir and production engineers.

  • Field development planners.

  • Energy sector analysts.

  • Technical and operations coordinators.
