Operations Readiness & CSU for Projects

Consultant/Trainer: Erik Forkink

Build Asset Readiness and execute flawless Commissioning & Start-Up for your project.

Around half of oil & gas projects struggle in CSU and underperform in early operations. This four-day course shows how to deliver OR/CSU at the right time and maturity across the three workstreams: Operations Input, Commissioning & Start-Up, and Asset Readiness.

The course is delivered face-to-face in a highly interactive classroom format, with case studies used to apply the learning in practice. A short pre-course virtual learning module is completed ahead of the classroom, and post-course consultancy and help-desk support are available.

Participants

This Petrogenium course is for professionals engaged in, or moving into, project development and delivery such as OR/CSU professionals, project engineers and project managers, operations professionals and Discipline engineers.

Suitable for awareness, intermediate and experienced levels; customisable for greenfield or brownfield projects.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

  • Explain OR/CSU and its integration across project phases.
  • Develop a credible Operational Performance Commitment at Investment Decision.
  • Plan and execute CSU: systemisation, scheduling, and completions management.
  • Apply CSU quality disciplines (operability, maintainability, tightness, cleanliness, preservation, novelty) and manage SIMOPS.
  • Manage HSSE in Transition: the shift from personal to process safety.
  • Build a ready Asset: organisation, OMS, CMMS, and competency.
  • Lead Assurance (PSSR/PSUA), Project-to-Asset handover, and Start-Up Ramp-Up.
  • Resolve OR/CSU dilemmas and build a tailored roadmap for your project.

DAY 1 – OR/CSU Foundations & Operations Input

  • Why OR/CSU: project success factors; role in delivery.
  • The OR/CSU process & workstreams: Operations Input, CSU and Asset Readiness, mapped to the OR/CSU Roadmap across the project phases.
  • Operations Input by phase: O&M Philosophy; Operational Performance Commitment (OPEX, RAM, Start-Up); Required input during design and engineering.
  • Case Study: develop the Operational Performance Commitment

DAY 2 – CSU Planning, Systemisation & Quality

  • CSU Management: contracting strategy; OR/CSU in ITT and contracts.
  • Systemisation & Scheduling: integrated schedule; completions management (ITR, Mechanical Completion, RFSU).
  • CSU Quality Disciplines: novelty, tightness, cleanliness & preservation.
  • Case Study: build the CSU logic and schedule.

DAY 3 – Asset Readiness & HSSE in Transition

  • Ops Input to Detail Engineering: P&ID reviews; operations access.
  • Asset Readiness Plan: organisation, OMS, CMMS, competency, information management
  • SIMOPS/HSSE in Transition: personal to process safety shift
  • Case Study: develop the Asset Readiness Plan.

DAY 4 – Asset Readiness & HSSE in Transition

  • Start-Up Ramp-Up: hydrocarbon introduction; First Product Commitment; Go/No-Go criteria
  • Assurance: PSSR/PSUA readiness checks
  • Project-to-Asset Handover: certifications; Final Acceptance; Asset Readiness closure
  • Case Study: build the OR/CSU Plan & Roadmap
