Course Summary
The gas and oil offshore industry plays a massive role in boosting the global economy and fuels businesses and homes to keep profits high. However, hosting an offshore site can present challenges from a safety and operational perspective and is open to risks from a business continuity perspective. Because the offshore platform is also something that other businesses rely on to function, it’s essential that issues are dealt with promptly, and changes are made to prevent similar circumstances from occurring in the future.
To ensure proper running of these platforms, it’s essential to understand the full operational project from end to end and ensure key processes are adhered to and function appropriately. For this reason, regular site inspections are required to record areas of concern, identify potential risks, and design and execute recovery plans when required.
For those responsible for auditing and inspection, there should be a key check list of areas to review, a set schedule, and a system to accurately record results for future reporting and change management. It’s essential that each person involved agrees on areas that require change and proactively works on a strategic project plan to make continuous improvements, and also regularly reviews data, feedback, and previous inspections to understand where improvements are needed the most.
- To understand inspection techniques for offshore platforms.
- To develop an auditing and risk assessment process for offshore and marine platforms.
- To implement processes around health and safety regulations.
- To record and monitor regularly scheduled inspections to determine the next steps for business improvement and continuity.
- To create accurate and secure record-keeping mechanisms to ensure continuous review and improvement.
- To learn about the differences between floating and fixed offshore platforms.
- To maintain subseas platforms and avoid potential incident development.
- To develop future-proofed business plans against a strategic framework to ensure the offshore platform is delivering a return on investment.
- To monitor platform performance against competitors or other industry leaders.
- To understand the development of FPSO and FLNG regulations within offshore platforms.
- To develop using the most up-to-date systems and forecasting models to increase profits.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for managing operations or improvements for offshore or marine platforms. It would be most beneficial for:
- Marine and Offshore Engineers
- Project Planners
- Marine Engineers
- Operations Managers
- Risk Assessors
- Auditors
- Health & Safety Executives
This course has been created using multiple learning styles to aid full comprehension and understanding. The course uses a video and presentation style to display real-world examples of positive inspection planning and the implications of missing potential risks.
Participants will take part in group discussions to determine strategic priorities and risk-oriented plans for inspection and work on project plans to mitigate risks from a financial, partnership, and people perspective.
Role-playing activities will be conducted to iron out action plans in order to remove future risks and build relationships with those involved to correct problems for the future.
