Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on high-voltage substation design both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda — it punishes it. The level assumes working familiarity with the operating asset but no prior formal training in the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability. Ambition around high-voltage substation design outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations among the areas with the widest performance spread. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline is examined, not just described. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to high-voltage substation design in an order their organisation can absorb. The course sets out a working method for this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations that participants can apply the week they return. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
