Course Overview
Develop and apply performance metrics that enhance operational excellence, safety, and value creation in petroleum organisations.
Course Overview
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are central to driving operational efficiency, asset reliability, safety performance, and financial outcomes in the petroleum sector. This course introduces participants to the design, implementation, and monitoring of KPIs across exploration, drilling, production, processing, and asset-management operations.
Participants will explore industry-standard metrics, benchmarking practices, data-driven decision-making frameworks, and performance-improvement methodologies used in upstream, midstream, and downstream petroleum organisations. Case-based insights ensure participants gain a practical understanding of how KPIs support strategic planning, cost control, operational discipline, and continuous improvement.
