Analysis of Risk and Appraisal Study For E&P Projects 

20-22 December 2008 Tehran-Iran

In today’s climate of oil price fluctuation and increasing number of countries offering upstream investment opportunities, oil companies and investors carefully evaluate the array of available options and select those which provide the best balance between risk and reward. In an integrated upstream business unit, all departments and individuals can and should have role and contribution on strategic decision-making process. In an upstream investment environment, especially exploration, there are incredible uncertainties which must be quantified and evaluated in evaluation process.
ARAS algorithm and software is trying to put forward an easy and fast track for evaluating of E&P projects prior to any investing decision-making.
This workshop will cover presentation of Contractual, Technical, Economical and Financial evaluation and risk analysis aspects following by practices and solution finding for exercise and case studies using ARAS.

Integrated Asset Management

15-17 December 2008 - Beach Rotana Hotel - Abu Dhabi, U.A.E

Against a background of unsustainable project cost increases, escalating commodity prices and an ever increasing demand for world energy, maximising hydrocarbon extraction is one of the greatest challenges facing the Oil and Gas industry. Whether we have passed Hubbert's Peak** is a matter for conjecture, but there can be no doubt oil and gas is getting harder to produce, and more difficult to find despite advances in technology.

The key to unlocking the remaining hydrocarbon potential, whilst managing associated environmental concerns, has to be through integrated Oil and Gas Asset Management.

Characterised by closely coupled lifecycle and workstream activity, Integrated Oil and Gas Asset Management from exploration to abandonment, requires the seamless cooperation of all oilfield disciplines and is now seen as being essential to meet production targets and maximize recovery, whilst ensuring minimization of energy consumption and effluent streams.

This Applied Technology Workshop will bring together all aspects of Integrated Asset Management allowing effective interaction and challenge between practitioners in the Integrated Asset Management field.The workshop will also include examples of practices worth replicating.

Integrated asset management in this context covers four themes being:

1.Leading Processes that Enhance Asset Management

2.Improving Integrated Team Performance

3.Real Time Data to Real Time Decisions

4.Latest Technologies Enhancing Asset Management

Aim High...Shape the Industry’s Future

14-17 February 2009 Grand Hyatt - Muscat, Oman

The continuous increase in demand of energy around the world has created a great opportunity for young graduates to be a part of this booming and dynamic sector. This growth has also created challenges that only Young Professionals can help overcome. This is especially important now because of a workforce that is nearing the age of retirement. This will take away years of experience and leadership creating a shortage of skilled professionals leaving a gap in the industry. To ensure that the industry continues to thrive and keep up with the increased demand for energy, our young professional will need to develop at a much faster rate.

Now is the time that you need to focus on acquiring the skills required to lead this industry in order to ensure sustainability of its successes as well as overcome the future challenges. Although this may seem to be difficult, today’s young professionals have shown a remarkable capability of developing multiple skills quicker than their predecessors. This is a golden opportunity for our young professionals to redefine the way the energy business has traditionally been managed and ensure that the industry becomes an even more exciting place to work in.

This workshop will equip Young Professionals with necessary skills to further their success by focusing on four areas:
Leadership, importance of technology, career choices, and community involvement. The workshop will also provide an excellent forum for networking within the region and develop long term ties between future leaders of the oil and gas industry.

Registration Deadline: 14/Jan/09
