Course Overview

Assets involved in gas liquefaction plant management routinely outlive the engineers who commissioned them. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how plant management is controlled. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about gas liquefaction plant management under scrutiny. Every module pairs a short input on this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations with structured practice on the participant's own material. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for plant management, not for observers of it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse gas liquefaction plant management outperform teams that only plan it. The programme converts plant management from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The final module sets out how progress on this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations will be evidenced six months later.

Course Modules

01

Gas liquefaction plant management: process safety, permits and isolation

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What the instrumentation on gas liquefaction plant management is and is not telling you

  • Set escalation thresholds for gas liquefaction plant management that work out of hours.
  • Confirm the inspection interval for plant management is based on condition, not habit.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to gas liquefaction plant management will be introduced.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in plant management.

Session 2Fitting plant management into the shutdown plan without extending it

  • Establish the alarm philosophy applying to gas liquefaction plant management and remove nuisance alarms.
  • Arrange the handover of plant management so capability survives staff changes.
  • Name a single owner for each element of gas liquefaction plant management.
  • Verify isolation points for plant management are proven and documented.
02

Plant management: technical fundamentals and operating envelope

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What the last incident involving plant management should have taught us

  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when gas liquefaction plant management underperforms.
  • Rank the weaknesses in plant management by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Estimate the production loss associated with unplanned downtime of gas liquefaction plant management.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about plant management.

Session 2The permit and isolation regime that plant management actually requires

  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to gas liquefaction plant management.
  • Check that plant management still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Build the competence framework that supports gas liquefaction plant management.
  • Define the safe operating envelope for plant management and how deviations are detected.
03

Plant management: contracts, contractors and service delivery

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reading condition data on plant management before failure, not after

  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to gas liquefaction plant management.
  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in plant management.
  • Collect evidence on the present handling of gas liquefaction plant management before proposing changes.
  • Identify critical spares for plant management and confirm lead times.

Session 2The decisions in gas liquefaction plant management that cannot be delegated

  • Agree what will be standardised in gas liquefaction plant management and what will not.
  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on plant management.
  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of gas liquefaction plant management.
  • Plan the plant management scope so it fits the available shutdown window.
04

Plant management: environmental obligation and emissions

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Who answers for plant management, and to whom

  • Model the economics of gas liquefaction plant management at low, base and high price cases.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains plant management to those affected.
  • Check that the permit regime covering gas liquefaction plant management matches the actual hazard.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving plant management.

Session 2The hard cases in plant management and how to reason about them

  • Confirm handover documentation for gas liquefaction plant management is complete and current.
  • Review the instrumentation on plant management for coverage gaps.
  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to gas liquefaction plant management.
  • Close out actions on plant management rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
