Background: Drilling and Well Completion are two critical phases in the lifecycle of an oil and gas well. A successful drilling operation not only ensures the structural integrity of the wellbore but also lays the foundation for effective production and long-term safety. Comprehensive understanding of well design, drilling fluid behavior, equipment selection, and completion strategies…

Background: Offshore and subsea drilling are among the most complex and high-risk operations in the upstream oil and gas industry. Compared to onshore drilling, offshore and deepwater operations involve harsher environments, higher costs, sophisticated technologies, and significantly greater safety and environmental risks. From jack-up rigs in shallow water to floating rigs and subsea systems in…

Background Manajemen aset hulu migas merupakan aspek strategis yang menentukan keberhasilan pengelolaan sumber daya energi nasional. Dalam konteks global yang terus berubah—mulai dari fluktuasi harga minyak, perubahan kebijakan energi, hingga transisi menuju energi bersih—para profesional di sektor hulu dituntut untuk memahami dinamika industri, filosofi kontrak kerja sama, serta tata kelola migas yang baik. Pemahaman yang…

BACKGROUND Process Safety Management (PSM) atau Manajemen Keselamatan Proses (MKP) dilaksanakan oleh perusahaan-perusahaan atau industri kimia/ petro-chemical, minyak & gas bumi (migas) setelah beberapa kejadian fatal yang telah banyak menelan korban jiwa dan harta benda seperti kasus Flixborough (Juni 1974), Seveso (Juli 1976), Bhopal (Desember 1984), Piper Alpha (Juli 1988), dan lain sebagainya . Dalam…

Background: Stuck pipe is one of the most critical and costly problems in drilling operations across the Oil & Gas and Geothermal industries. With more complex well trajectories, smaller hole sizes, and an industry push to “drill to the limit,” the risk of stuck pipe incidents has grown significantly. Although rigs are now supported by…

BACKGROUND: In oil & gas production, sand production remains a critical issue can significantly impact equipment integrity, production efficiency, & overall operational safety. If not properly managed, produced sand can lead to severe erosion of equipment, flow restrictions, & even complete system failures. Hence, effective sand control management is essential to ensuring long-term well productivity…

Background: Marginal fields development refers to discoveries which have not been exploited for long, due to one or more of the following factors: • Very small sizes of reserves/pool to the extent of not being economically viable • Lack of infrastructure in the vicinity and profitable consumers • Prohibitive development costs, fiscal levies and or…

Background: Integrated Reservoir Management (IRM) is a structured approach to maximize the value of hydrocarbon assets by combining G&G, Reservoir Engineering, Drilling, Completion, Production, and Economic considerations into a single framework. Through effective integration of data and disciplines, operators can improve recovery factors, extend field life, and optimize development plans. This is where “Integrated” play…

BACKGROUND: Understanding and calculating oil & gas reserves is a vital part of reserves and resources evaluation. Moreover, it is essential for asset management, investment decisions, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Therefore, this training provides a clear overview of reserves and resources definitions using SPE PRMS guidelines. In addition, it covers U.S. SEC regulations and Indonesian…

BACKGROUND Production and operation teams cannot directly observe how conditions change within a reservoir during production. Instead, they depend on sophisticated simulation models that transform subsurface. Therefore, reservoir simulation serves as a cornerstone for understanding reservoir performance and optimizing recovery strategies. Integrating geoscience, production data, engineers can forecast future performance under various scenarios, identify operational…
