Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how deep desulphurisation is controlled. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda; it has added to it. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations and the judgement to adapt it. The content is relevant to those who own deep desulphurisation and to those who are held accountable for its results. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations and revise it on evidence. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting deep desulphurisation and under-invest in testing it. Mature organisations treat the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The final module sets out how progress on this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations will be evidenced six months later.
