Effective Technical Writing for E&P Staff
A Structured System
No project carried out within the Petroleum Industry is complete if not competently presented or reported.
This unique workshop provides guidelines for the efficient reporting of petroleum engineering, geological and geophysical studies:
- It will help you to produce concise and readable management briefings, well/study proposals, field development plans, operating manuals, equity documentation and study reports
- It gives practical instruction rather than theory or tuition in linguistic niceties
- It includes individual tutorial sessions.
Based on extensive experience of carrying out and reporting integrated field development studies in an International Oil Company and Consultancy environment, it can be adjusted for non-native English speakers or for those with English as mother tongue. Although naturally slanted towards writing in English, the general approach is valid no matter which language is used for reporting! It also addresses techniques suitable for e-documents and presentations.It is designed specifically for the E&P professional - at all experience levels - focusing on E&P documents and examples. Over two hundred staff have attended public versions and 'in-house' workshops for major multinationals, state oil companies and consulting groups, with universally favourable response. The course has also been given to a wider audience derived from upstream and downstream disciplines.
Positive feedback includes:
‘Loved the course’ ‘Excellent and relevant’ ‘I really like the way the instructor presented the course’
