P100 Field Production Operations Course

Consultant/Trainer: Ian Bartlett

Effective production operations are not achieved through procedures alone — they require a clear understanding of system behaviour, constraints, and real-time decision-making.

The P100 Field Production Operations course develops this understanding, equipping front-line staff and support teams with the knowledge and practical skills required to operate production systems safely, reliably, and efficiently.

Covering the full production system from inlet to export, the course builds operational awareness and capability grounded in real facility conditions and day-to-day operating challenges.
