Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on pre-licensing environmental assessment both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations — it punishes it. The programme takes participants through the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to pre-licensing environmental assessment in an order their organisation can absorb. Moving this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme works equally well for those formalising the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Where pre-licensing environmental assessment is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations and supervised application. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations survives a hostile question.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Verify that contractors working on pre-licensing environmental assessment meet the same standard as direct staff.
Draw practical lessons from failures in pre-licensing environmental assessment without assigning blame that suppresses reporting.
Set the minimum documentation for pre-licensing environmental assessment that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.
Quantify the production impact of decisions taken on pre-licensing environmental assessment.
Assess the technical and commercial risk attaching to pre-licensing environmental assessment across the asset life cycle.
