Oil and gas operations involve far more than drilling and production.
Every field moves through a connected lifecycle. It begins with petroleum exploration and continues through drilling, completion, field development, production and, eventually, decommissioning.
However, professionals often understand only the part of the industry that relates directly to their role.
SEMARAK Training’s Introduction to Upstream Oil & Gas: Exploration to Decommissioning programme provides a complete overview of the upstream sector. It helps participants understand how each activity connects across the life of an oil and gas field.
Build a Strong Foundation in Upstream Oil & Gas
The two-day programme is designed for technical and non-technical professionals who need a clear understanding of Exploration and Production activities.
Participants will explore the geological, technical and commercial aspects of the industry. They will also learn how upstream activities depend on one another, from the early exploration stage until abandonment and decommissioning.
By the end of the programme, participants will be better prepared to understand technical discussions, communicate with industry teams and recognise how their roles contribute to the wider oil and gas value chain.

Through this programme, participants will gain:
- Understanding of the upstream oil and gas lifecycle from exploration to decommissioning
- Fundamentals of petroleum geology, exploration, drilling and well completion
- Knowledge of field-development planning, production facilities and value-chain activities
