Course Overview

Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in asset integrity management — it punishes it. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability; it has added to it. The course covers the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It is designed for mixed groups, so that asset integrity management is examined from more than one functional angle. The professional literature on this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations, ready to be adapted internally. Progress on asset integrity management is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Every module pairs a short input on this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations with structured practice on the participant's own material. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
