Course Description

Introduction

Individuals and groups involved in the ultra-late life and decommissioning process are the target audience for this Course N Carry training session. It will provide them a more strategic understanding of decommissioning and the ways in which important decisions are made, interact, and affect success. It will also present chances for them to enhance their own and their organization's delivery. 

The chance to participate in "real life" exercises pertaining to the decommissioning of a typical offshore asset will be a major learning experience for delegates. 

The following will be covered in this training session on decommissioning offshore oil and gas installations: 

  • The strategic choices to be taken and the influence your business can have
  • Process streamlining enhancements for decommissioning 
  • Seize chances to provide value additions
  • A stronger understanding of decommissioning and related tactics through interactive training and activities linked to common field
  • Acquiring supply chain, legal, and cutting-edge technological solutions 

Goals

Upon completion of this Course N Carry training programme, attendees will: 

  • Become knowledgeable about the issues and actions associated with oil and gas decommissioning worldwide.
  • Provide solutions for the major issues facing your sector. 
  • Recognise different late-life and decommissioning approaches and the important choices that need to be taken.
  • Learn more about your organization's and your own roles in the late-life and decommissioning decision-making process, as well as where to best provide value.
  • Create a strategy for applying your knowledge to important choices and future learning requirements. 

Training Methodology

When necessary, a mix of lectures, hands-on activities, case studies, and teamwork will be used to give the training. The focus is on the delegate's engagement with one another and their discussion of and contribution to practical and strategic issues. 

All of the important facets of decommissioning will be covered, with an emphasis on learning from real projects and case studies.

The delegates will embark on a tour that begins in the latter stages of the field, around eight years after production has ceased. The participants to this 5-day training course on Decommissioning Offshore Oil and Gas Installation will go through the stages of early planning, preparation, execution, and closing out of an offshore field. Throughout this period, the delegates will take part in developing a decommissioning strategy, timeline, and estimate for a typical field through a series of exercises.

Impact of the Organization

From a strategic and delivery standpoint, the organisation will have a better understanding of its position, potential, and possibilities throughout the late life and decommissioning phase.

In order to expedite the decommissioning process, operators, regulators, and stakeholders will train their workforce to facilitate more effective decision-making.

Supply chain companies and sponsors will also obtain more knowledge on how to strategically position their services and products and chances to address industry challenges related to decommissioning.


Impact on Person

Participants will acquire strategic information, get a better awareness of their own roles, and respect the strategies of all important parties in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of every aspect of the late life and decommissioning process. 

Important effects on oneself are:

  • A thorough understanding of decommissioning
  • Acquiring new abilities
  • Fresh possibilities for learning
  • Boost the worth of his or her company even more
  • Professional growth
