Overview

Field Unitisation and Equity Redetermination Training Course is a one-week advanced programme for joint-venture, reservoir, commercial, economic and legal professionals. Participants connect shared-reservoir evidence to unit boundaries, tract participation, agreement architecture, redetermination procedure, expert determination and financial adjustment. They leave with Unitisation Heads of Terms and an Equity Redetermination Playbook. Agile Leaders Training Center presents this multidisciplinary shared-field course.

Who Should Attend

Joint-venture and non-operated asset managers
Reservoir engineers, geoscientists and reserves professionals
Commercial, economics and new-ventures teams
Legal advisers and contract managers
Finance, accounting and equity-settlement specialists
Government-relations and field-development professionals

Participants should understand upstream projects, reservoir evidence, joint ventures or petroleum agreements. The course does not provide jurisdiction-specific legal advice or replace independent reserves certification.

Departments and Industries

Oil and gas operators, non-operators and national companies
Joint ventures and licence groups sharing a reservoir
Reservoir, subsurface and field-development departments
Legal, commercial, finance and petroleum-economics functions
Regulators and state participants in unit developments
Advisers supporting expert determination and disputes

Learning Objectives

Determine when a shared field requires unitisation
Structure pre-unitisation, unitisation and unit operating terms
Build tract participation and unit-interest cases from technical evidence
Design redetermination triggers, submissions and expert procedures

FAQs

What is field unitisation?

It is the joint development and operation of a reservoir extending across ownership or licence boundaries as one unit under agreed interests, governance, costs and production entitlement.

What is tract participation?

Tract participation is the percentage interest assigned to each tract or licence in the unit, commonly supported by agreed volumetric, reserves or production-based evidence and formulae.

Why is equity redetermined?

Redetermination updates participation when new seismic, well, reservoir or production information materially changes the technical understanding used for the earlier equity split.

What does an independent expert decide?

The agreement defines the expert's appointment, scope, evidence, procedure and finality. The expert may decide technical inputs or the equity result when parties cannot agree.

How are past costs and production adjusted?

Agreement rules may rebalance historic costs, unit accounts, production entitlement, over-lift, under-lift or make-up volumes from an agreed effective date.

What will participants produce?

Participants build Heads of Terms and a playbook covering boundaries, interests, data, equity formulae, triggers, submissions, expert process, settlement and negotiation positions.

Conclusion

Participants leave with a traceable method for aligning reservoir evidence, agreement terms and commercial consequences. The documents support disciplined negotiation as subsurface knowledge and party interests evolve.
