OilSim Petroleum Management for Authorities

1003_360

  

Traditionally, it has only been possible for teams to be oil and gas companies in OilSim. However, working with the Norwegian government foundation Petrad, Simprentis has developed a new version of OilSim in which you can also get  the Governmental perspective.
  
Your objective in OilSim Authorities is to bring lasting benefits to your country, and the challenges include:
 
  • Deciding on the fiscal terms
  • Choosing which areas to offer
  • Pre-qualifying companies
  • The role of National Oil Companies
  • Awarding licenses
  • Accepting or declining exploration drilling requests
  • Reviewing field development plans

 

OilSim Authorities courses have been delivered to Governmental officials from more than 35 different countries, and the course duration is between 1 and 5 days. A sample 5-day program can be structured as follows:
