Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in safe oilfield waste disposal; it has added to it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how waste disposal is controlled. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in safe oilfield waste disposal rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The course covers this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It is designed for mixed groups, so that waste disposal is examined from more than one functional angle. Moving safe oilfield waste disposal from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better waste disposal is rarely technical. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations that participants can repeat annually.

Session 2Reading the current state of waste disposal honestly
- Estimate the resource safe oilfield waste disposal requires to run as designed.
- Establish the alarm philosophy applying to waste disposal and remove nuisance alarms.
- Remove steps in safe oilfield waste disposal that add effort without adding assurance.
- Build the internal briefing that explains waste disposal to those affected.
Waste disposal: environmental obligation and emissions
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Building the investment case for waste disposal that finance will accept
- Check that the permit regime covering safe oilfield waste disposal matches the actual hazard.
- Benchmark the organisation's waste disposal against comparable operations.
- Rank the weaknesses in safe oilfield waste disposal by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Model the economics of waste disposal at low, base and high price cases.
Session 2Escalation and decision rights in safe oilfield waste disposal

- Define the safe operating envelope for waste disposal and how deviations are detected.
- Identify the failure modes of safe oilfield waste disposal with the highest consequence.
- Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios waste disposal can create.
Session 2The operating limits on waste disposal and what happens beyond them
- Close out actions on safe oilfield waste disposal rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Review the instrumentation on waste disposal for coverage gaps.
- Record what was learned when safe oilfield waste disposal did not go as planned.
- Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to waste disposal.
