Quantify the production impact of decisions taken on hydrogen blending in gas grids.
Managing Hydrogen Blending Projects with Natural Gas in Grid Networks
Build a working method for hydrogen blending in gas grids that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
In energy operations the cost of getting hydrogen blending in gas grids wrong is measured in downtime, and sometimes in lives. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on gas grids both accrue interest. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline is working and when it is only appearing to. The difficulty is not agreeing that hydrogen blending in gas grids matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations, in large organisations and small ones alike. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place gas grids among the areas with the widest performance spread. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of hydrogen blending in gas grids and supervised application. The programme takes participants through gas grids end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda sustainable.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Assess the technical and commercial risk attaching to gas grids across the asset life cycle.
Assign clear ownership for each element of hydrogen blending in gas grids across the functions involved.
Apply recognised integrity and inspection practice to gas grids.
Integrate hydrogen blending in gas grids into existing management routines rather than running it separately.
Select indicators that show whether gas grids is improving, and reject those that only look useful.
Verify that contractors working on hydrogen blending in gas grids meet the same standard as direct staff.
