Course Overview

Integrated Field Development Planning (IFDP) is a critical discipline in the oil and gas industry that ensures optimal value creation across the full lifecycle of hydrocarbon assets. This course provides a structured and integrated approach to developing field development plans by aligning subsurface understanding, surface facilities, drilling, economics, risk management, and execution strategies.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of how multidisciplinary teams collaborate to make robust development decisions, manage uncertainty, optimise capital investment, and ensure long-term asset performance. The course emphasises practical planning frameworks used by operators and national oil companies to deliver technically sound and economically viable field developments.
