Course Overview

In energy operations the cost of getting distributed energy management systems wrong is measured in downtime, and sometimes in lives. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in management systems — it punishes it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline and under-invest in testing it. The professional literature on distributed energy management systems converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations, not around theory headings. It is written for people who have to make management systems work with the resources they already have. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on distributed energy management systems and revise it on evidence. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about management systems in their own setting. The final session converts the week's work on the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations into commitments with owners and dates.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Distributed energy management systems: planning, shutdowns and execution windows

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Deciding between life extension and replacement for distributed energy management systems

  • Review the instrumentation on distributed energy management systems for coverage gaps.
  • Reduce the variation in how management systems is carried out between teams.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains distributed energy management systems to those affected.
  • Plan the management systems scope so it fits the available shutdown window.

Session 2What the instrumentation on management systems is and is not telling you

  • Estimate the production loss associated with unplanned downtime of distributed energy management systems.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for management systems.
  • Define the safe operating envelope for distributed energy management systems and how deviations are detected.
  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to management systems.
02

Management systems: contracts, contractors and service delivery

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The operating limits on management systems and what happens beyond them

  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to distributed energy management systems.
  • Identify critical spares for management systems and confirm lead times.
  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of distributed energy management systems.
  • Confirm that lessons from management systems are shared beyond the team that learned them.

Session 2The decisions in management systems that cannot be delegated

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of distributed energy management systems before proposing changes.
  • Identify single points of dependency in management systems and reduce them.
  • Close out actions on distributed energy management systems rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on management systems.
03

Management systems: instrumentation, data and condition monitoring

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Closing out management systems and capturing what was learned

  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in distributed energy management systems.
  • Establish the alarm philosophy applying to management systems and remove nuisance alarms.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving distributed energy management systems.
  • Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios management systems can create.

Session 2Making distributed energy management systems work when resources are constrained

  • Test the procedure for distributed energy management systems against a realistic scenario.
  • Check that the permit regime covering management systems matches the actual hazard.
  • Draft the minimum viable operating procedure for distributed energy management systems.
  • Build the competence framework that supports management systems.
04

Management systems: incidents, lessons and continual improvement

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Fitting management systems into the shutdown plan without extending it

  • Verify six months later that changes to distributed energy management systems have held.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to management systems will be introduced.
  • Anticipate the objections distributed energy management systems will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Name a single owner for each element of management systems.

Session 2The environmental exposure created by management systems

  • Verify isolation points for distributed energy management systems are proven and documented.
  • Define acceptance criteria for management systems in advance.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around distributed energy management systems are understood.
  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on management systems.
