Course Overview

The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in methane emission reduction; it has added to it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations is controlled. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations in an order their organisation can absorb. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in methane emission reduction rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The programme suits teams tackling this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations together as readily as individuals attending alone. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The programme converts methane emission reduction from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Moving the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The final session converts the week's work on this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations into commitments with owners and dates.

Course Modules

01

Methane emission reduction: environmental obligation and emissions

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What has to be agreed before work on methane emission reduction starts

  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to methane emission reduction.
  • Define the trigger that would require methane emission reduction to be redesigned.
  • Check that the permit regime covering methane emission reduction matches the actual hazard.
  • Confirm handover documentation for methane emission reduction is complete and current.

Session 2What the instrumentation on methane emission reduction is and is not telling you

  • Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios methane emission reduction can create.
  • Review the instrumentation on methane emission reduction for coverage gaps.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when methane emission reduction underperforms.
  • Define the safe operating envelope for methane emission reduction and how deviations are detected.
02

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reviewing methane emission reduction when nothing has gone wrong

  • Anticipate the objections methane emission reduction will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Identify the failure modes of methane emission reduction with the highest consequence.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for methane emission reduction.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving methane emission reduction.

Session 2The permit and isolation regime that methane emission reduction actually requires

  • Set out the decisions in methane emission reduction that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Confirm that those complying with methane emission reduction understand why it exists.
  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to methane emission reduction.
  • Compare the cost of methane emission reduction with the cost of its absence.
03

Methane emission reduction: process safety, permits and isolation

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Building the method for methane emission reduction step by step

  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of methane emission reduction current.
  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on methane emission reduction.
  • Set escalation thresholds for methane emission reduction that work out of hours.
  • Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on methane emission reduction.

Session 2What the last incident involving methane emission reduction should have taught us

  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in methane emission reduction.
  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of methane emission reduction.
  • Arrange the handover of methane emission reduction so capability survives staff changes.

04

Methane emission reduction: technical fundamentals and operating envelope

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Competence and handover on methane emission reduction when experienced staff leave

  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to methane emission reduction.
  • Verify isolation points for methane emission reduction are proven and documented.

  • Reduce the variation in how methane emission reduction is carried out between teams.

Session 2Holding contractors on methane emission reduction to the standard you hold yourself

  • Build the internal briefing that explains methane emission reduction to those affected.
  • Draft the minimum viable operating procedure for methane emission reduction.
  • Estimate the resource methane emission reduction requires to run as designed.
  • Model the economics of methane emission reduction at low, base and high price cases.
