The Production Engineering with OFM Database Course gives production engineers, reservoir engineers, and petroleum professionals a structured, hands-on understanding of Oil Field Manager (OFM) covering database structure, data import, production analysis, decline curve analysis, nodal analysis, reservoir surveillance, and advanced scenario planning within one of the most widely used production engineering platforms in the oil and gas industry.
OFM is a powerful and widely deployed production engineering tool but its value is only realised when engineers understand how to structure its database effectively, import and visualise data accurately, apply its analytical tools with confidence, and integrate its outputs into real reservoir management and production optimisation decisions. This course ensures delegates develop exactly that capability.
Moving progressively from OFM fundamentals and database navigation through data visualisation, production analysis, reservoir surveillance, and advanced functionalities, the Production Engineering with OFM Database Course builds a complete, practical OFM competence that delegates can apply directly from Day 1 back in their organisations.
This course is built for production and reservoir professionals who want to use OFM not just as a data management tool, but as an integrated production engineering platform that drives better operational and development decisions.
The Production Engineering with OFM Database Course is designed to develop complete OFM competence from database structure and data import through production analysis, reservoir surveillance, and advanced scenario planning and integration.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
The Production Engineering with OFM Database Course is designed for production engineers, reservoir engineers, and petroleum professionals who work with or want to develop proficiency in OFM as a production engineering and reservoir surveillance platform.
This course is suitable for:
The Production Engineering with OFM Database Course is delivered through a hands-on, software-focused learning approach where OFM application is central to every day's content not just an add-on. The course is structured to progressively build practical OFM competence across database management, data visualisation, production analysis, reservoir surveillance, and advanced scenario planning.
Daily recaps and Q&A sessions ensure learning consolidates before delegates advance to the next module creating a structured, supportive progression from OFM fundamentals to advanced integration capability.

Common questions about our training courses
This course is designed for production engineers, reservoir engineers, petroleum engineers, asset managers, and reservoir surveillance professionals who use or want to develop proficiency in OFM as a production engineering and reservoir management platform. It is suitable for both those new to OFM who need a structured, comprehensive introduction and experienced OFM users looking to develop more advanced analytical and integration capabilities.
Days 1 and 2 cover OFM database structure and data management in full — including understanding the purpose and organisation of the OFM database, navigating the interface, importing production and reservoir data, and creating structured well and reservoir datasets. Delegates leave with the ability to set up and maintain an OFM database that is accurate, well-organised, and structured to support reliable analytical outputs — the foundational requirement for everything else OFM can deliver.
Nodal analysis is introduced within Day 3 — covering the application of nodal analysis within OFM to evaluate the performance of the production system from reservoir to surface, identify where constraints are limiting production, and evaluate the impact of intervention or design changes on deliverability. Delegates develop the ability to use nodal analysis in OFM as a practical production optimisation tool — directly applicable to well performance reviews and artificial lift evaluation decisions.
A general background in production or petroleum engineering is helpful, but no prior OFM experience is required. The course begins with an introduction to the OFM database structure, interface navigation, and basic functionalities before advancing to production analysis, reservoir surveillance, and advanced scenario planning — making it accessible to delegates with foundational engineering knowledge who are ready to develop their OFM competence in a structured, practical environment
Day 4 covers reservoir management and surveillance — including how to integrate reservoir management techniques into OFM, analyse pressure and saturation data, assess reservoir performance using OFM's surveillance tools, and monitor production data and well performance in real time. Delegates leave with the ability to use OFM as a genuine reservoir surveillance platform — not just a production database — supporting faster, better-informed reservoir management decisions.
Day 5 covers advanced OFM capabilities — including scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, integration with reservoir engineering and simulation tools, and best practices for data management, integration, and reporting. Delegates develop the ability to use OFM not just to analyse current performance but to evaluate future scenarios and sensitivities making OFM a more strategic tool for supporting field development planning and investment decisions.
