SIMOPS addresses the fact that there are inherent dangers involved in simultaneous operations that can cause detrimental issues for the environment, equipment and even personnel. SIMOPS is the management system for these complex situations whereby the hazards and risks are identified and mitigated during the planning stage to ensure that multiple work activities can occur simultaneously when needed. These issues can occur onshore or offshore in various locations, including subsea gas and oil production or on gas and oil marine terminals, especially during times of significant maintenance and expansion when the existing facility must remain live. SIMOPS must also be used when any onshore gas and oil processing plant is being commissioned and constructed and during startup.
This course will give delegates the opportunity to gain an understanding and also focus on the process of implementing plans under SIMOPS. This applies to those involved in offshore or onshore projects. Of course, if these plans and guidelines are not adhered to, the consequences are severe. They can even result in horrific injury or death, so anyone involved in the industry can benefit from attending this course.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Teaching takes place in a variety of settings, including face to face in a classroom environment. It will ensure that participants can expand their knowledge of the subject and increase their skillset. The course is delivered via various methods by a specialist tutor. This will include PowerPoint presentations, reviewing articles and other relevant materials, group or individual exercises and discussions. There may be some independent work set, and the course will involve a requirement to submit articles to demonstrate understanding and an end of course test. Note-taking is encouraged, and you are welcome to use electronic devices to do this.
The course manual will form part of the learning but give you references for the future. You are encouraged to ask questions and, if needed, spend time one to one with your tutor to go over any issues. During your time in the classroom, you will network with peers in similar roles.
