Course Overview
Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in offshore drilling risk management — it punishes it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on risk management both accrue interest. Moving the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in offshore drilling risk management, not around theory headings. It is written for people who have to make this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations work with the resources they already have. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in risk management before they become incidents. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place offshore drilling risk management among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants apply risk management to their own operating asset throughout, so the output is directly usable. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations survives a hostile question.
