In the dynamic landscape of oil and gas exploration and production, efficient resource management and equitable asset distribution are crucial for ensuring long-term operational success .Dubai Premier Centre (DPC) presents an advanced training programme on Oil & Gas Field Unitisation and Equity Redetermination, designed to equip professionals with the expertise required to navigate the complexities of field unitisation and asset allocation. This course delves into the principles of unitisation agreements in oil and gas, explores the equity redetermination process, and provides insight into handling cross-border unitisation challenges. By examining real-world international unitisation case studies, participants will gain a practical understanding of petroleum field unitization strategies, equity redetermination methodologies, and unitisation agreement negotiation techniques essential for effective decision-making in the sector.
