Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in custody transfer measurement; it has added to it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations is controlled. The programme suits teams tackling this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations together as readily as individuals attending alone. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from custody transfer measurement, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations so that teams can disagree productively about it. Mature organisations treat the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The difficulty is not agreeing that custody transfer measurement matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations has actually achieved. The final module sets out how progress on this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations will be evidenced six months later.
