Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on regasification planning both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations — it punishes it. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations, not for observers of it. Progress on regasification planning is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme converts this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants apply this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations to their own operating asset throughout, so the output is directly usable. The professional literature on regasification planning converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations before they become incidents. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline sustainable.
