Upstream Production Operations: Practical Workshop

Course Introduction

Upstream Production Operations sits at the heart of upstream, midstream and downstream facilities, yet it is rarely taught in a way that translates straight into daily practice. This workshop-based programme closes that gap with practitioner-led sessions, realistic scenarios and take-home tools.

Training Objectives

• 01Explain the core principles, terminology and standards behind Upstream Production Operations in clear, practical language
• 02Select and adapt suitable approaches to Upstream Production Operations for the constraints of upstream, midstream and downstream facilities
• 03Diagnose weak spots in current practice and prioritise corrective action
• 04Use practical tools, checklists and templates that support day-to-day Upstream Production Operations
• 05Leave with a prioritised list of improvements you can start within 30 days

What You Will Take Away

• Reference tables and rules of thumb for daily decisions
• A structured inspection and reporting template
• Case-study notes drawn from regional plant experience

Who Should Attend

• Asset & Reservoir Engineers

Prerequisites: Open to all levels; participants are encouraged to bring a real work challenge.

Training Methodology

Learning happens by doing — teams work through practical tasks, present their results and receive immediate feedback. Case material and examples are drawn from upstream, midstream and downstream facilities.
