Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in wave and storm risk assessment; it has added to it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how risk assessment is controlled. Most organisations already have a policy on this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations; far fewer can show it working. The programme converts wave and storm risk assessment from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Organisations that document this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The programme works equally well for those formalising risk assessment for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting wave and storm risk assessment, ready to be adapted internally. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of risk assessment and prepares them for it. The final module sets out how progress on the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda will be evidenced six months later.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Sequence improvements to risk assessment so that each step makes the next one easier.
Build the internal capability for wave and storm risk assessment rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
Assess risk assessment against the emissions and efficiency targets the organisation has committed to.
Quantify the production impact of decisions taken on wave and storm risk assessment.

Risk assessment: integrity, inspection and condition assessment
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who answers for risk assessment, and to whom
- Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios wave and storm risk assessment can create.
- Rehearse the briefing on risk assessment that would follow an incident.
- Review incident and near-miss history involving wave and storm risk assessment.
