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
