This Petrogenium course focuses on senior individuals with a minimum of 10 years experience in their discipline, managing capital projects and FDP studies. Another key target audience are individuals in project governance roles, whether they represent the operator, joint-venturers, or government regulatory and oversight bodies. This course will greatly deepen their understanding of the essential elements required to successfully deliver and approve the first FDP execution strategy, and how to update and approve it after the field has been on production when major departures require taking stock before approving the next project.
