1. A computer-based method for planning and conducting an oilfield development project, comprising:
- determining an optimal set of project elements for the oilfield development project based on expert knowledge and/or best practices identified from previous oilfield development projects;
linking specific expert knowledge and/or specific best practices with specific project elements;
presenting the project elements in an integrated project planning and execution environment; and
allowing a user to plan and execute the project elements using the integrated project planning and execution environment, the integrated project planning and execution environment enforcing compliance by the user with certain ones of the expert knowledge and/or the best practices.

Abstract
Oilfield development project planning and execution framework is disclosed for delivering and implementing expert knowledge and best practices in oilfield development projects. Such a project planning and execution framework integrates relevant expert knowledge and best practices with project planning and execution to guide a multi-discipline project team in successfully designing and conducting an oilfield development project. In preferred embodiments, the project planning and execution framework is a web-based tool that may be accessed by different users across multiple geographical locations and business units.
