This creates significant challenges in ensuring that all team members understand their role, the role of others in the overall project; and in ensuring control over the project. Many technical experts have developed informal techniques to plan, schedule and control their own activities, but this is no longer adequate as the activities of all team members need to be known to the others. This includes not only a knowledge of what activities are to be done, but when they need to be completed and using what data. More formal techniques are needed.

This course gives valuable insight into integrated reservoir studies and how tried and tested Project Management techniques can be applied or adapted to maximise their benefits. Topics include:

Management techniques to ensure integration; strategies for integrated studies

Effective data display and communication

Quality assurance and troubleshooting.

It is suitable for staff of all disciplines, particularly current or future project leaders without previous exposure to PM methods.
