Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on pressure vessel inspection both accrue interest. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations is controlled. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline and prepares them for it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse pressure vessel inspection outperform teams that only plan it. A common pattern is strong design of this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations paired with weak follow-through. The programme converts the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. They leave able to brief senior management on pressure vessel inspection in terms that support a decision. Participants who influence this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations that participants can repeat annually.

Course Modules
Pressure vessel inspection: integrity, inspection and condition assessment
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Spares, logistics and single points of failure in pressure vessel inspection
- Agree the indicators that will show whether pressure vessel inspection is improving.
- Identify single points of dependency in pressure vessel inspection and reduce them.
- Prepare the summary of pressure vessel inspection that senior management will read.
- Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on pressure vessel inspection.
Session 2The permit and isolation regime that pressure vessel inspection actually requires
- Establish the alarm philosophy applying to pressure vessel inspection and remove nuisance alarms.
- Plan the pressure vessel inspection scope so it fits the available shutdown window.
- Identify where judgement in pressure vessel inspection is legitimate and where it is not.

Pressure vessel inspection: planning, shutdowns and execution windows
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Testing pressure vessel inspection before relying on it
- Estimate the production loss associated with unplanned downtime of pressure vessel inspection.
- Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to pressure vessel inspection.
- Set out the decisions in pressure vessel inspection that require sign-off and by whom.
- Name a single owner for each element of pressure vessel inspection.
Session 2Fitting pressure vessel inspection into the shutdown plan without extending it
- Confirm the inspection interval for pressure vessel inspection is based on condition, not habit.
- Check that the permit regime covering pressure vessel inspection matches the actual hazard.
- Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios pressure vessel inspection can create.
- Verify six months later that changes to pressure vessel inspection have held.
Pressure vessel inspection: instrumentation, data and condition monitoring
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who answers for pressure vessel inspection, and to whom
- Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on pressure vessel inspection.
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of pressure vessel inspection current.
- Define acceptance criteria for pressure vessel inspection in advance.
- Identify the failure modes of pressure vessel inspection with the highest consequence.
Session 2The operating limits on pressure vessel inspection and what happens beyond them

Pressure vessel inspection: economics, price exposure and investment case
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Deciding between life extension and replacement for pressure vessel inspection
- Model the economics of pressure vessel inspection at low, base and high price cases.
- Rank the weaknesses in pressure vessel inspection by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.

- Arrange the handover of pressure vessel inspection so capability survives staff changes.
- Check that records of pressure vessel inspection answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Confirm handover documentation for pressure vessel inspection is complete and current.
