Course Overview

The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in pumping station management; it has added to it. Assets involved in this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations routinely outlive the engineers who commissioned them. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability rather than to abstract argument. It suits anyone whose decisions touch pumping station management, in large organisations and small ones alike. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations it covers ends in something applicable. Moving the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants finish able to explain pumping station management to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The professional literature on the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme closes with an action plan for the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.

04

Pumping station management: planning, shutdowns and execution windows

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The operating limits on pumping station management and what happens beyond them

  • Establish the boundary of pumping station management and record what sits outside it.
  • Rehearse the briefing on pumping station management that would follow an incident.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates pumping station management is under control.
  • Set escalation thresholds for pumping station management that work out of hours.

Session 2The environmental exposure created by pumping station management

  • Build the competence framework that supports pumping station management.
  • Set out the decisions in pumping station management that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on pumping station management.
  • Arrange the handover of pumping station management so capability survives staff changes.
