Course Overview

Assets involved in floating production and offloading vessels routinely outlive the engineers who commissioned them. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in offloading vessels — it punishes it. Applied research in energy and hydrocarbon operations consistently shows that early structure around the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline reduces downstream rework. It is written for people who have to make floating production and offloading vessels work with the resources they already have. Every module pairs a short input on the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability with structured practice on the participant's own material. Buying a tool rarely fixes offloading vessels; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what floating production and offloading vessels has actually achieved. Participants leave with a method for offloading vessels, not a set of opinions about it. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations rather than a set of notes.

04

Offloading vessels: integrity, inspection and condition assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reading condition data on offloading vessels before failure, not after

  • Check that the permit regime covering floating production and offloading vessels matches the actual hazard.
  • Rank the weaknesses in offloading vessels by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Review whether floating production and offloading vessels is aligned with the objectives of the operating asset.
  • Close out actions on offloading vessels rather than leaving them open indefinitely.

Session 2Escalation and decision rights in offloading vessels

  • Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios floating production and offloading vessels can create.
  • Review the instrumentation on offloading vessels for coverage gaps.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about floating production and offloading vessels.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on offloading vessels.
