Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in pipeline capacity planning; it has added to it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability both accrue interest. The version of the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. They acquire practical criteria for judging when pipeline capacity planning is working and when it is only appearing to. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations and supervised application. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline that were visible long before the incident. It suits anyone whose decisions touch pipeline capacity planning, in large organisations and small ones alike. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations so that teams can disagree productively about it. The final session converts the week's work on this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations into commitments with owners and dates.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Specify the instrumentation and data needed to monitor pipeline capacity planning reliably.
Evaluate the environmental obligations arising from pipeline capacity planning.
Diagnose whether a problem in pipeline capacity planning is one of design, resourcing or discipline.
Plan the decommissioning or life-extension decision for assets involved in pipeline capacity planning.

Course Modules
Pipeline capacity planning: competence, certification and handover
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Spares, logistics and single points of failure in pipeline capacity planning
