Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how reliability-centred maintenance is controlled. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline; it has added to it. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations is examined, not just described. Ambition around reliability-centred maintenance outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The professional literature on the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme is built to be used, and every section of reliability-centred maintenance it covers ends in something applicable. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda that participants can repeat annually.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Evaluate the environmental obligations arising from reliability-centred maintenance.
Sequence improvements to reliability-centred maintenance so that each step makes the next one easier.
Design permit and isolation controls covering the work involved in reliability-centred maintenance.
