Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on geological carbon storage both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations — it punishes it. They leave able to brief senior management on the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline in terms that support a decision. Comparative studies of geological carbon storage across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Progress on this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability are used deliberately. It concentrates on the parts of geological carbon storage that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants test their assumptions about this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability rather than a set of notes.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Assign clear ownership for each element of geological carbon storage across the functions involved.

02

Draw practical lessons from failures in geological carbon storage without assigning blame that suppresses reporting.

03

Specify the instrumentation and data needed to monitor geological carbon storage reliably.

04

Capture and act on lessons from incidents and near misses involving geological carbon storage.

05

Assess geological carbon storage against the emissions and efficiency targets the organisation has committed to.

06

Compare the organisation's handling of geological carbon storage with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.

07

Prepare the technical case for capital investment in geological carbon storage.

Course Modules

01

Geological carbon storage: economics, price exposure and investment case

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What has to be agreed before work on geological carbon storage starts

  • Verify isolation points for geological carbon storage are proven and documented.
  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to geological carbon storage.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for geological carbon storage.
  • Review the instrumentation on geological carbon storage for coverage gaps.

Session 2The operating limits on geological carbon storage and what happens beyond them

  • Establish the boundary of geological carbon storage and record what sits outside it.
  • Identify where judgement in geological carbon storage is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on geological carbon storage.
  • Estimate the resource geological carbon storage requires to run as designed.
02

Geological carbon storage: environmental obligation and emissions

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The environmental exposure created by geological carbon storage

  • Name a single owner for each element of geological carbon storage.
  • Check that the permit regime covering geological carbon storage matches the actual hazard.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about geological carbon storage.
  • Collect evidence on the present handling of geological carbon storage before proposing changes.

Session 2Competence and handover on geological carbon storage when experienced staff leave

  • Reduce the variation in how geological carbon storage is carried out between teams.
  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of geological carbon storage.
  • Benchmark the organisation's geological carbon storage against comparable operations.
  • Establish the alarm philosophy applying to geological carbon storage and remove nuisance alarms.
03

Geological carbon storage: contracts, contractors and service delivery

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What the instrumentation on geological carbon storage is and is not telling you

  • Remove steps in geological carbon storage that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on geological carbon storage.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when geological carbon storage underperforms.
  • Check that geological carbon storage still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.

Session 2Holding contractors on geological carbon storage to the standard you hold yourself

  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of geological carbon storage current.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving geological carbon storage.
  • Model the economics of geological carbon storage at low, base and high price cases.
  • Define the safe operating envelope for geological carbon storage and how deviations are detected.
04

Geological carbon storage: integrity, inspection and condition assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making geological carbon storage work when resources are constrained

  • Confirm handover documentation for geological carbon storage is complete and current.
  • Arrange the handover of geological carbon storage so capability survives staff changes.
  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to geological carbon storage.
  • Identify the failure modes of geological carbon storage with the highest consequence.

Session 2Escalation and decision rights in geological carbon storage

  • Identify single points of dependency in geological carbon storage and reduce them.
  • Confirm that lessons from geological carbon storage are shared beyond the team that learned them.
  • Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios geological carbon storage can create.
  • Draft the minimum viable operating procedure for geological carbon storage.
