• 2 Hour course to highlight the functional differences between the R2000 series applications and R2003.16 series
of applications

Topics covered (slides & demo)

• Functional enhancements to any algorithms
• New modules and functionality
• Changes to input and output forms, graphs and reports

NOTE: This course assumes the Engineers have in depth knowledge of

their respective R2000 applications – Compass, StressCheck or WellPlan
Specific Application Training

Purpose
• Train on specific applications for extended period (typically 2 days)
• Train on the theory behind the applications
• Give greater depth of training than the Integrated EDM Workflow courses
• Concentrate on modules and functionality relevant to Shell Engineer’s requirements

Topics covered
The curriculum will be tailored for Shell Engineers
• Compass
• WellPlan
• StressCheck

Delivery:
• The region and project will agree the region’s Specific Application Training requirements and preferred time
scale
• The project will communicate these requirements to Landmark
• The Region PM accountable to liaise Landmark in region to deliver the Specific Application Training

Training Delivery Options

There will be three main methods of training delivery

1. Global delivery – members of the Deployment Team will deliver the training to the region’s Engineers

2. Train The Trainers - members of the Deployment Team will deliver the training to the region’s nominated
trainers, who will then train the rest of the region’s Engineers

3. Regional delivery – the region nominates its own trainers, who will deliver all training to the region’s engineers.
The Project will only supply the Training Material and data.

NOTE – The workflows and OpenWells/PROFILE training materials are Shell specific and therefore
mandatory.
Training Deliverables

The Project will deliver:

• Training manuals
• Training exercises
• Training data
• Training personnel (dependant on delivery option chosen)

The Project will not deliver:

• Training coordinator
• Deployments logistics
• Landmark courses – the project will only communicate the training requirements
• Training materials for Landmark specific application training
• PO’s for Landmark

NOTE:
• All costs for Shell material incurred will be charged through via Cat2
• All costs for Specific Application Training ( to be delivered by Landmark) to be ordered
via regional PO’s

Region’s Responsibilities

• Provide Regional Project Manager who will be responsible for:

 project delivery
 Training delivery
 Infrastructure and applications

• Provide training coordinators for detail training planning, logistics, record managements, etc
• Complete and sign off User Acceptance Testing on Region’s infrastructure
• Supply of accurate information on names and numbers number of engineers in regions, and their training
requirements
• Supply suitable location and facilities for training to be delivered
• Liaise with regional Landmark for the specific Application delivery in agreed time scale and get PO’s sorted
• To ensure agreed target completion date is met

Note: Closing the training gap will be an entry criteria for the regional
deployment of the Integrated solution on R5000
Project’s Responsibilities

Project
• Provide resources to assist the Regional PM fulfill their responsibilities
• Provide the region’s database’s metadata, hierarchy and borehole surveys
• Provide region with UAT documentation and data to assist UAT sign off
• Provide Change management tool kit
• Deliver application suite before training commences
• Engage with region to establish training requirements
• Deliver achievable deployment plan
• Supply materials for training
• Supply personnel for delivering region’s subject to chosen method of delivery
• Ensure timely installation of the Well Engineering applications
• Advise region on required infrastructure upgrade
• Advise Landmark on regional specific Application training demands and timeline

NOTE: THE REGION IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ENGINEERS’ TRAINING

Training Enquiry
Actions

Regions
• Nominate Regional Project Manager and Training Coordinator
• Complete or revise Training Enquiry spreadsheets to capture which type of training is required for each of their
NAMED engineers
• Identify which times are not suitable for deployment – e.g.vacations, regional events, etc
• Agree regional delivery timescale and target completion date

Project
• Engage with Regions individually to:
• Reconfirm training needs and identify engineers’ names
• Agree regional delivery model
• Confirm infrastructure needs
• Agree regional delivery timescale and target completion date

Aim: Acquire accurate, mutually agreed regional training requirements. This will enable
the creation of an achievable global deployment plan.
