Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on ageing facility refurbishment both accrue interest. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability is controlled. Ambition around the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on ageing facility refurbishment and revise it on evidence. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations work with the resources they already have. Mature organisations treat this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from ageing facility refurbishment, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The course covers the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations that participants can repeat annually.
