Course Overview

Assets involved in energy infrastructure credit risk routinely outlive the engineers who commissioned them. In energy operations the cost of getting credit risk wrong is measured in downtime, and sometimes in lives. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations. Participants leave with a method for energy infrastructure credit risk, not a set of opinions about it. What blocks progress on this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about credit risk under scrutiny. The professional literature on energy infrastructure credit risk converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a operating procedure for credit risk as they go. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations survives a hostile question.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Design permit and isolation controls covering the work involved in energy infrastructure credit risk.

02

Integrate credit risk with the wider process safety management system.

03

Model the economics of energy infrastructure credit risk under a realistic range of price scenarios.

04

Identify the failure points in credit risk most likely to cause loss, and control them first.

05

Assess the technical and commercial risk attaching to energy infrastructure credit risk across the asset life cycle.

06

Structure records of credit risk so that they answer the questions an auditor will actually ask.

07

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on energy infrastructure credit risk for senior management.

Credit risk: technical fundamentals and operating envelope

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Testing credit risk before relying on it

  • Build the competence framework that supports energy infrastructure credit risk.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to credit risk will be introduced.
  • Set the review interval for energy infrastructure credit risk and who attends.
  • Establish the boundary of credit risk and record what sits outside it.

Session 2Fitting energy infrastructure credit risk into the shutdown plan without extending it

  • Agree what will be standardised in energy infrastructure credit risk and what will not.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when credit risk underperforms.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving energy infrastructure credit risk.

04

Credit risk: integrity, inspection and condition assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The operating limits on credit risk and what happens beyond them

  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in energy infrastructure credit risk.
  • Confirm handover documentation for credit risk is complete and current.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for energy infrastructure credit risk.
  • Test the procedure for credit risk against a realistic scenario.

Session 2What to measure in credit risk and what to ignore

  • Model the economics of energy infrastructure credit risk at low, base and high price cases.
  • Set escalation thresholds for credit risk that work out of hours.
  • Benchmark the organisation's energy infrastructure credit risk against comparable operations.
  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of credit risk.
