Description
Defining an asset as an exploration license, a discovery, or a producing oil or gas field including all the infrastructure, facilities, equipment, and services, asset management begins with acquisition of the exploration license and continues through exploration, appraisal, development, production, and abandonment. Successfully managing the asset with a view to maximizing its value requires developing a plan, extraordinary attention to discipline quality & integration, a careful management of handovers in lifecycle phases, and a rigorous discipline to continuously improve by conducting well planned post audits.
The instructor has over 30 years of extensive domestic and international experience in many aspects of asset development and management and offers his life time experiences by describing the tools and process used in the development of an asset management plan using a real life example and concludes by highlighting mistakes that are frequently made and often lead to significant erosion in value and a vicious cycle of re-learning the same lessons over and over again.
