The upstream segment of the oil and gas industry—exploration and production—is the cornerstone of global energy supply, marked by high-risk investments, technological innovation, and dynamic geopolitical landscapes. The Global Upstream Oil and Gas Operations course delivers a strategic, operational, and technical deep dive into the full spectrum of upstream activities, enabling participants to develop a holistic understanding of how exploration, appraisal, field development, and production intersect to drive energy value chains.

This comprehensive training is designed to bridge the gap between technical operations and commercial realities, empowering professionals with the knowledge to make informed decisions across diverse upstream contexts—from conventional offshore drilling to unconventional shale development. The course explores global best practices, current trends, regulatory environments, and sustainability challenges, all within a structured, real-world framework.

Participants will benefit from insights into reservoir evaluation, drilling techniques, production optimization, asset integrity, and risk management, gaining critical knowledge to enhance performance, ensure compliance, and foster innovation in upstream ventures.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the lifecycle of upstream oil and gas operations—from seismic surveys to production decline
• Analyze geological, geophysical, and reservoir data to support exploration and development decisions
• Examine drilling methods, well design, and completion strategies in various environments
• Gain insight into production systems, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and field optimization techniques
• Navigate the regulatory, environmental, and social governance (ESG) considerations affecting upstream projects
• Evaluate operational risks, cost drivers, and project economics in global upstream portfolios
