Course Overview

The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in water and gas injection management; it has added to it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on injection management both accrue interest. The programme suits teams tackling this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations together as readily as individuals attending alone. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in water and gas injection management rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations has actually achieved. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in injection management that were visible long before the incident. It treats water and gas injection management as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Improvement in injection management stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda that would make a visible difference.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Assess water and gas injection management against the emissions and efficiency targets the organisation has committed to.

02

Quantify the production impact of decisions taken on injection management.

03

Assess the current state of water and gas injection management against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.

04

Design permit and isolation controls covering the work involved in injection management.

05

Compare the organisation's handling of water and gas injection management with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.

06

Plan the handover of injection management so that capability is not lost when key staff move on.

07

Integrate water and gas injection management with the wider process safety management system.

Course Modules

01

Water and gas injection management: competence, certification and handover

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Getting other functions to support water and gas injection management

  • Compare the cost of water and gas injection management with the cost of its absence.
  • Agree the smallest change to injection management that would be visibly useful.
  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to water and gas injection management.
  • Identify the failure modes of injection management with the highest consequence.

Session 2The cost of injection management and how to present it

  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to water and gas injection management.
  • Review the instrumentation on injection management for coverage gaps.
  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to water and gas injection management.
  • Benchmark the organisation's injection management against comparable operations.
02

Injection management: integrity, inspection and condition assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

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

  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about water and gas injection management.
  • Map the handovers in injection management between functions and secure them.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around water and gas injection management are understood.
  • Define the safe operating envelope for injection management and how deviations are detected.

Session 2Testing injection management before relying on it

  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of water and gas injection management current.
  • Check that injection management still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Establish the alarm philosophy applying to water and gas injection management and remove nuisance alarms.
  • Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios injection management can create.
03

Injection management: incidents, lessons and continual improvement

2 sessions · 8 points

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

  • Verify six months later that changes to water and gas injection management have held.
  • Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on injection management.
  • Confirm handover documentation for water and gas injection management is complete and current.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for injection management.

Session 2Competence and handover on water and gas injection management when experienced staff leave

  • Confirm that lessons from water and gas injection management are shared beyond the team that learned them.
  • Identify single points of dependency in injection management and reduce them.
  • Verify isolation points for water and gas injection management are proven and documented.
  • Estimate the resource injection management requires to run as designed.
04

Injection management: environmental obligation and emissions

2 sessions · 8 points

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

  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of water and gas injection management.
  • Review incident and near-miss history involving injection management.
  • Close out actions on water and gas injection management rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on injection management.

Session 2Deciding between life extension and replacement for injection management

  • Set escalation thresholds for water and gas injection management that work out of hours.
  • Check that the permit regime covering injection management matches the actual hazard.
  • Set the review interval for water and gas injection management and who attends.
  • Model the economics of injection management at low, base and high price cases.
