Course Overview

Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how coastal facility emergency response is controlled. Assets involved in emergency response routinely outlive the engineers who commissioned them. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in coastal facility emergency response that were visible long before the incident. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations and supervised application. Participants leave with a method for emergency response, not a set of opinions about it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting coastal facility emergency response and under-invest in testing it. It is designed for mixed groups, so that emergency response is examined from more than one functional angle. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline that participants can repeat annually.

Session 1Deciding between life extension and replacement for emergency response

  • Rehearse the briefing on coastal facility emergency response that would follow an incident.
  • Verify isolation points for emergency response are proven and documented.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether coastal facility emergency response is improving.
  • Confirm handover documentation for emergency response is complete and current.

Session 2What the instrumentation on emergency response is and is not telling you

  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to coastal facility emergency response will be introduced.
  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to emergency response.

03

Emergency response: integrity, inspection and condition assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reading the current state of emergency response honestly

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of coastal facility emergency response before proposing changes.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving emergency response.
  • Model the economics of coastal facility emergency response at low, base and high price cases.
  • Verify six months later that changes to emergency response have held.

Session 2Where coastal facility emergency response typically breaks, and why

  • Set escalation thresholds for coastal facility emergency response that work out of hours.
  • Estimate the production loss associated with unplanned downtime of emergency response.
  • Close out actions on coastal facility emergency response rather than leaving them open indefinitely.

04

Emergency response: process safety, permits and isolation

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Competence and handover on emergency response when experienced staff leave

  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of emergency response.
  • Review the instrumentation on coastal facility emergency response for coverage gaps.
  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on emergency response.

Session 2The permit and isolation regime that emergency response actually requires

  • Agree the smallest change to coastal facility emergency response that would be visibly useful.
  • Test the procedure for emergency response against a realistic scenario.
  • Rank the weaknesses in coastal facility emergency response by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Plan the emergency response scope so it fits the available shutdown window.
