Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on enhanced oil recovery both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations — it punishes it. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda, not around theory headings. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting enhanced oil recovery and under-invest in testing it. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations. Practitioner evidence points the same way: enhanced oil recovery improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability and revise it on evidence. The programme closes with an action plan for this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
