This course will reveal how the world’s most successful companies manage multiple-shift and 24-hour operations to deliver world-class people and process performance. All industries are highly competitive so in order to compete successfully, 24-hour operations must continuously improve to achieve the highest possible standards at all times.

For a facility to operate safely and efficiently 24/7, it is necessary to apply shift working best practices.

changeover• Development of strategies to manage shift risks &

issues & become a world-class 24/7 operation

The Course

Information is the lifeblood to all organisations, without with it would be severally impacted and ultimately cease to function. Information is knowledge and knowledge is power. With an ever changing climate of technology and threats (both technical and human), the need for trained security personnel to protect our information becomes increasingly critical evolutionary task.

Information is at risk from many sources, legal, electronic, physical, internal and external to mention a few. It is paramount that security and related management personnel have an understanding of the risks, controls and countermeasures that are available to secure information and technology within an effective management framework. Furthermore utilising countermeasures, best practice and management techniques will mitigate electronic and physical risks and enhance protection to an organisation.

The course will not turn delegates into safety experts but it will give them the appreciation of what safety issues are about and the methods available to them to ensure that safety is implemented in their own workplaces. Safety is not the prerogative of the safety specialist. Safety is one of the component parts in every management discipline. An office manager is no less responsible for the safety of his team than the construction manager. The law and company policy applies equally to both. Managers will be able to review their own departmental systems for safety, introducing new controls or implementing changes as appropriate to ensure safety in the workplace.


• Workplace precaution hierarchies• Risk assessments• Data and techniques required to produce an adequate

record of an incident• Active monitoring checklists• The component parts of a recognised Safety

Management System

This course aims to equip delegates with skills to commission, appraise, review and apply risk-based approach so that organisations can improve the reliability of the assets, reduce maintenance costs and achieve higher levels of safety and environmental integrity over the life cycle of their systems.

Risk management has become the central function of a utility professional and organisations are being held to a higher standard by their shareholders to improve return on investment, by their customers to produce better quality, and by society to improve safety and environmental integrity. Traditional maintenance tactics are unlikely to meet the demands that are placed on the modern organisation and for this reason progressive organisation are changing to a risk-based approach.


• How the objective of maintenance over the last twenty years has steadily shifted from a ‘prevention’ approach to ‘risk-based’ approach

• Why the evolution to larger and more complex systems capable of higher capacities leads to greater losses and requires a change in maintenance tactics

• How lean processes with less in-process storage and lower product inventories create a bigger demand for reliability

• How organisations are being held to a higher standard by society with regard to safety and environmental responsibility

• How organisations can overcome the above challenges by applying what they will learn in this course

What are the Goals?


• Choose systems for reliability and risk improvement• Identify functions and appropriate performance

standards• Anticipate the failed states, failure modes and damage

mechanisms of a system• Apply maintenance tactics to reduce risk and improve

reliability• Apply a team-based approach to implement risk and

reliability improvement

Participants of this course will be able to determine the major data requirements and modeling issues associated with various types of fractured and unconventional reservoirs as well as how to set up rational exploration and development programs for these reservoirs

This course provides a unique opportunity to learn all the aspects related to the understanding and modeling of fractured and unconventional reservoirs. Participants will gain knowledge of how fractured reservoirs differ from conventional reservoirs, and how to approach their fractured reservoir projects in a systematic manner. The workshop covers all the aspects of modeling fractured reservoirs. Using actual data from Teapot Dome, (WY, USA), the geoscientist will be able to construct fracture models that integrate geology, geophysics and reservoir engineering. Emphasis will be given to the critical use of seismic attributes derived from inversion, volumetric curvature and spectral imaging. Using actual Teapot Dome field data from the Tensleep and Niobrara Shale formations and a hands-on approach, the workshop allows the geoscientist to identify fractures and to construct predictive 3D fracture models that can be used to identify productive zones, plan wells and to create fracture porosity and permeability models for reservoir simulation. A multidisciplinary approach to the study of these reservoirs will be stressed. Participants will learn what controls the performance of fractured reservoirs and the type of data which are required to manage them.

What are the Goals?

Participants attending the programme will:

• Understand all geological and seismic aspects related to modeling fractured reservoirs

• Generate actual reservoir models from a real case study data set

• Integrate geology, geophysics, and reservoir engineering concepts in application to a sound reservoir model

• Overcome the challenges in modeling fractured and unconventional reservoirs through the use of post stack narrow azimuth seismic

• Identify fractures and model their density, and orientation

• Recognize productive zones, plan wells, and create fracture porosity and permeability models for reservoir simulation

Fractured & Unconventional Reservoir Modeling




Professionals who deal with fractured reservoirs and who need to develop them using all types of available data. Further, the course will be very useful to all Geoscientists involved in clastics, carbonates and shale plays where fractures play a major role.


The course will include presentations with exercises using the course notes and Excel. A software will be provided to the Delegates to work on actual and very complex fractured reservoirs. Using the Teapot Dome, WY, USA actual data, delegates will be divided in teams to predict the fracture density at different blind wells. The resulting good and poor predictions at blind wells will be explained to demystify the popular believe that fractured reservoirs are too complex to be predictable.

The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) is a comprehensive set of measures to enhance the security of ships and port facilities, developed in response to the perceived threats to ships and port facilities in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. The ISPS Code is implemented through chapter XI-2 Special measures to enhance maritime security in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974. The Code has two parts, one mandatory and one recommendatory.

In essence, the Code takes the approach that ensuring the security of ships and port facilities is a risk management activity and that, to determine what security measures are appropriate, an assessment of the risks must be made in each particular case. The purpose of the Code is to provide a standardised, consistent framework for evaluating risk, enabling Governments to offset changes in threat with changes in vulnerability for ships and port facilities through determination of appropriate security levels and corresponding security measures.

What are the Goals?

At the end of the 5 day seminar, delegates should be able to:

• Define the nature of their facility and how they are affected by the requirements of the ISPS code

• Identify the mandatory and guidance regulations of the ISPS code

• Develop risk assessment tools towards the Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA)

• Construct the 3 levels of the Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) with enhanced knowledge of security issues
