Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on major incident analysis both accrue interest. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations; it has added to it. What blocks progress on the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants apply major incident analysis to their own operating asset throughout, so the output is directly usable. The most reliable predictor of sound the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about major incident analysis. Participants leave with a method for the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda, not a set of opinions about it. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations rather than a set of notes.
