Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on automatic control in energy facilities both accrue interest. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how energy facilities is controlled. What blocks progress on the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Organisations that document automatic control in energy facilities properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants gain a realistic view of what this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations costs and what it returns. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for energy facilities. The programme takes participants through automatic control in energy facilities end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from energy facilities, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline that participants can repeat annually.

Automatic control in energy facilities: process safety, permits and isolation

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Competence and handover on automatic control in energy facilities when experienced staff leave

  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to automatic control in energy facilities.
  • Agree what will be standardised in energy facilities and what will not.
  • Confirm handover documentation for automatic control in energy facilities is complete and current.
  • Define the safe operating envelope for energy facilities and how deviations are detected.

Session 2Moving energy facilities from approval to execution

  • Set escalation thresholds for automatic control in energy facilities that work out of hours.
  • Map the handovers in energy facilities between functions and secure them.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving automatic control in energy facilities.
  • Identify the failure modes of energy facilities with the highest consequence.
02

Energy facilities: contracts, contractors and service delivery

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reading condition data on energy facilities before failure, not after

  • Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios automatic control in energy facilities can create.
  • Name a single owner for each element of energy facilities.
  • Rehearse the briefing on automatic control in energy facilities that would follow an incident.
  • Verify isolation points for energy facilities are proven and documented.

Session 2The environmental exposure created by energy facilities

  • Establish what evidence demonstrates automatic control in energy facilities is under control.
  • Review whether energy facilities is aligned with the objectives of the operating asset.
  • Compare the cost of automatic control in energy facilities with the cost of its absence.

  • Build the internal briefing that explains energy facilities to those affected.
  • Confirm that lessons from automatic control in energy facilities are shared beyond the team that learned them.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of energy facilities current.

Session 2What the instrumentation on automatic control in energy facilities is and is not telling you

  • Identify where judgement in automatic control in energy facilities is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Agree the smallest change to energy facilities that would be visibly useful.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to automatic control in energy facilities will be introduced.
  • Review the instrumentation on energy facilities for coverage gaps.
04

Energy facilities: economics, price exposure and investment case

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Closing out energy facilities and capturing what was learned

  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on automatic control in energy facilities.
  • Check that the permit regime covering energy facilities matches the actual hazard.
  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to automatic control in energy facilities.
  • Model the economics of energy facilities at low, base and high price cases.

Session 2Comparing energy facilities with recognised practice

  • Establish the alarm philosophy applying to automatic control in energy facilities and remove nuisance alarms.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around energy facilities are understood.
  • Estimate the resource automatic control in energy facilities requires to run as designed.
  • Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on energy facilities.
