About the Course
This course provides an introduction to oil and gas project management. Participants will explore the various environments for oil and gas projects, gaining an understanding of the critical stages of project development and the FEL (Front-End Loading) process. The course covers essential technical documents, including process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), alongside crucial design considerations such as equipment lists and field layouts.
Material selection, with attention to strength, temperature, and corrosion management, is also examined. Additionally, the course addresses the design and sizing of export systems, including pipelines for flowlines and transmission. Process safety is a key topic, with detailed discussion of frameworks, HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Studies), and HAZID (Hazard Identification). Key industry standards, such as ASME B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8, are also covered.
The project management component introduces participants to effective contracting strategies, cost estimation, and value improving practices (VIP), including life cycle cost analysis. Practical exercises reinforce understanding of life cycle costs. Risk management techniques, including the creation of risk registers and plans, are discussed in detail.
The course concludes with a focus on construction in both onshore and offshore environments, addressing operational readiness, health and safety, and maintenance considerations, ensuring that participants leave with a well-rounded understanding of oil and gas project management.
