Front End Loading (FEL) Engineering For Oil and Gas Projects
Workshop Overview
This course introduces the Front-End Loading (FEL) framework used in oil and gas capital project development. It explains how projects progress through FEL-1 (Concept), FEL-2 (Concept Selection), and FEL-3 (Project Definition) before reaching the Final Investment Decision (FID).
Participants will learn how project concepts are developed, evaluated, and selected through activities such as technical assessment, process design, cost estimation, scheduling, and risk analysis. The course also highlights how the FEL process helps reduce uncertainty and improve project planning and decision-making.
Workshop Outline
Benefit of Attending this Workshop
- GAIN understanding of FEL* : a structured project planning process used before major investment and construction in oil & gas projects.
- RECOGNIZE the three FEL stages:* FEL-1 (Opportunity Identification), FEL-2 (Concept Selection), and FEL-3 (Front End Engineering Design / FEED).
- UNDERSTAND the purpose of each stage: progressively refine project scope, technical design, cost estimates, and risks.
- IDENTIFY key deliverables: feasibility studies, concept options, engineering designs, cost estimates, and project execution plans.
- UNDERSTAND decision gates: each FEL stage supports management decisions on whether to continue, modify, or stop the project.
- APPRECIATE the importance of FEL: reduces project risk, improves cost and schedule accuracy, and increases the likelihood of project success before moving to Engineering,
Procurement, and Construction (EPC)
