The focus of the course is on the means by which companies identify, characterise and quantify the risks associated with exploration and development. One of the most characteristic features of the petroleum industry is the dramatic risk/reward relationship associated with exploration and industry professionals must understand these dynamics and understand the language of risk analysis. Computers are used extensively to ensure that each delegate becomes intimately familiar with all aspects of economic modeling and analysis.

All co-operants in petroleum exploration and production require a comprehensive understanding of the geopolitical, legislative, contractual and regulatory matters that inform today's oil industry. Host Governments, private landowners, International and National Oil Companies and host communities affected by the licensing process are at the forefront of these issues which today include the impact of Islamic Law and the recognition of indigenous people's rights. Mr Michael Bunter has identified a number of new challenges to upstream petroleum licensing that will confront petroleum professionals in the years to come. These will be discussed in detail and will also be introduced as brand new topics at the beginning of the course.

More information is available at the organisers website or contact CEPMLP, University of Dundee, Hugh Gunn/ Pamela Lawrence, - Monitoring & Regulation of the Upstream Petroleum Sector (Exploration & Production)
Petroleum regulation is the customary law of the oilfields. It has developed over the last 150 years from the sound working practice of expert oilmen (such as petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists) and specialists (such as accountants, lawyers and tax experts) into the Good Oilfield Practice. This code of practice advocates setting and maintaining international code of the highest technical standards despite the pressures faced by the exploratory and production sector - increasing costs, soaring salaries, a dwindling pool of skilled manpower and the need for constant investment in advancing technologies.

June 2010
- Unitisation and Joint Development of Petroleum Reservoirs
Oil and gas discoveries can extend beyond the boundaries of an individual contract area. A similar situation arises where a petroleum reservoir extends across national boundaries. In these cases, Contractors and Host Governments must consider whether the recovery of petroleum will be maximized by the formation of a production unit that allows operations to be conducted in a manner that is consistent with the location and nature of the reservoir. Unitisation can also be established for specific formations or substances, in these situations additional consideration must be given to the operation of other petroleum discoveries within the unitised area.

Natural gas is increasing the ‘fuel-of-choice' for applications ranging from power generation, to industrial and commercial applications. At each step in the gas chain, a variety of contracts must be successfully negotiated. They include resource agreements with host governments, marketing agreements among field participants, sales and purchase agreements and transportation contracts for both LNG and natural gas delivered by pipeline. Additional material addresses the role played by governments as project participant, purchaser, guarantor and regulator.

Operating companies rely on independent contractors’ services and supplies to carry out petroleum operations.
