Price:
$17,550
This two-week technical and strategic workshop brings together a multidisciplinary team to prepare for the successful execution of an infill drilling campaign in a mature offshore asset. The workshop will address key challenges including subsea and topside integration, execution risks across multi-well drilling operations, well placement optimization, and alignment of contracting and delivery strategies.
Through expert-led modules, collaborative planning sessions, and strategic readiness exercises, participants will co-develop a unified roadmap for safe, efficient, and sustainable campaign delivery.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Drilling Engineers, Facility Engineers, Subsurface Operations Advisors, Planning Analysts, Finance & Insurance Analysts, HR & Organizational Development Professionals, Government Relations Analysts, Contracting & Procurement Specialists, Project Managers
Day 1: KICKOFF & CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW …………………………………………..…… Plenary + Panel Session
Infill Drilling being a secondary drilling strategy is used in oil and gas fields to increase recovery from a reservoir that is already producing. Instead of targeting brand-new areas, infill drilling involves placing additional wells within the existing field — in between the original (primary) wells — to extract hydrocarbons that might otherwise remain trapped.
Workshop objectives
- Strengthen execution readiness for infill drilling campaigns
- Address technical complexities in subsea and topside integration
- Optimize well placement and drilling sequencing
- Align contracting, delivery, and stakeholder strategies
- Foster proactive collaboration across disciplines and organizations
Infill drilling scope and production targets
Stakeholder alignment
Day 2: SUBSEA & TOPSIDE INTEGRATION ……………………………….. Technical Lecture with Case Study
The main topside interface challenges in infill strategies revolve around capacity, space, safety, tie-in logistics, and simultaneous operations risks. A successful infill program requires detailed brownfield integration studies to balance subsurface potential with topside limitations.
- Subsea architecture overview
- Topside interface challenges
- Additional wells increase production but may overwhelm separators, dehydrators, compressors, or flare systems.
- Tie-in & Hook-up Complexity
Integration Risk mapping
Day 3: DRILLING SEQUENCING & OPTIMIZATION …………………………….…….. Engineering Workshop
- Multi-well planning
- Well Placement Strategies
- Execution risk scenarios
Well Collision & Proximity Risks
Reservoir Pressure & Depletion Effects
Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) Conflicts
Rig Scheduling & Logistics Failures
Day 4: EXECUTION RISK MANAGEMENT …………………………………..…….. Simulation Exercise
- Risk identification and mitigation
- Contingency planning
- Lessons from past campaigns
Day 5: CONTRACTING & DELIVERY STRATEGY …………………………….……………………. Strategy Round Table
- Contract models and alignment
- Procurement timelines
- Vendor coordination and readiness
Day 6: FINANCIAL & INSURANCE PLANNING ………………………………………………. Finance Workshop
- Cost-risk modelling
- Insurance coverage for drilling operations
Insurance incident protocols: Rapid notification and evidence collection to avoid indemnity disputes. - Claims and incident readiness
Typical Claim Triggers
Rig standby/delay due to topside tie-in or subsea readiness not aligning with drilling sequence.
Change orders from unexpected brownfield complexities (extra hot work, rerouting, congestion).
Equipment damage/loss (e.g., subsea tree dropped during installation, topside crane overload).
Production deferment claims if infill wells are delayed and impact cashflow forecasts.
Force majeure disputes (weather, regulatory delays, strikes).
Readiness Measures
Well Control Readiness: Updated blowout contingency plan, relief well planning, capping stack access.
Emergency Response Drills: Specific to brownfield infill (fire, toxic gas, spill, evacuation).
SIMOPS Management Plan: Clear permit-to-work system, segregation of activities. - Stakeholder readiness: Regulators, JV partners, and host communities briefed on infill risks and mitigation
Day 7: REGULATORY & GOVERNMENT ENGAGEMENT …………………………………… Policy Roundtable
- Permitting and compliance
- Stakeholder mapping
- Government relations strategy
Day 8: ORGANIZATIONAL READINESS & HR STRATEGY ………………………………….. HR Led Breakouts
- Workforce planning
- Competency development
- Change management and HSE culture
A strong Change Management is critical because infill projects often face scope modifications, schedule realignments, and unexpected design changes due to facility limitations or regulatory demands. Without a disciplined Management of Change (MoC) process, operators risk cost overruns, misalignment across drilling, subsea, and topside teams, and potential non-compliance with safety and regulatory standards. Structured change governance, clear approval gates, and transparent stakeholder engagement are essential to maintaining project integrity and operational continuity.
Day 9: INTEGRATED EXECUTION PLANNING ……………………………………..……………….…. Group Exercise
- Cross-functional planning sessions
- Strategic alignment across teams
The sessions will establish a cohesive, cross-disciplinary foundation for the infill drilling program. By aligning subsurface potential, drilling execution, facilities readiness, risk mitigation, and commercial realities. The strategy will position the Asset for safe, cost-effective, and value-maximizing drilling execution. The outcome will provide is a clear roadmap and governance framework to support timely decision-making, regulatory compliance, and sustainable growth.
o Finalizing readiness checklists
Day 10: STRATEGY SYNTHESIS & CLOSEOUT …………………………………………….. Presentations / Wrap-up
- Team presentations
- Execution roadmap
- Workshop reflections and next steps

Foster cross-functional collaboration and strategic alignment - Overview of Brownfield Production challenges
- Sand Production Case Study.
An offshore field in the Niger Delta was developed with a cluster of deviated wells producing from unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs. The field had been in production for 8 years, delivering ~45,000 BOPD. Reservoir pressure support was being maintained through gas lift and limited aquifer influx. Despite initial sand control measures (stand-alone screens and gravel packs), the operator observed escalating sand production that impacted facility uptime and asset integrity.
This course aims to emphasize that Sand management equals balancing production rates with equipment integrity by integrating prediction, control, monitoring, and safe handling across the life of the well.

Choke Management: Reduced drawdown by adjusting choke sizes, lowering sand rates by ~30% but cutting production by 15%.
Well Testing Optimization: Increased test frequency to monitor sanding trends. - Mechanical Sand Control
Remedial Gravel Pack: Considered but rejected due to high intervention costs offshore.
Expandable Sand Screens (ESS): Deployed in Well B during a workover, reducing sanding by 70%. - Surface Sand Handling:
Installed a desander unit upstream of the first-stage separator.
Modified pigging schedule from quarterly to monthly to manage line deposition. - Reservoir Management:
