Maintenance Planning & Work Control in the Oil & Gas

Introduction

Lower revenues due to lower oil and gas prices have placed equipment life-cycle costs under the Maintenance management spotlight like never before. Maintenance Managers are faced with the challenge to deliver the same levels of equipment safety, reliability and availability with smaller budgets. This Maintenance Planning and Work Control training course introduces the practical tools and practices that Oil & Gas Industries need to adopt to drive down their equipment life-cycle costs in practical ways.

This training course emphasizes the most effective strategies, policies, tactics and practices that are needed to ensure the reliability, integrity and durability of the physical assets through their life-cycle by proper planning and control of the Maintenance activities.

This GLOMACS Maintenance Planning and Work Control in the Oil & Gas training course will highlight:

• Failure and Degradation characteristics of Oil and Gas assets
• Oil and Gas asset classification into the criticality matrix for work identification 
• Failure and degradation of assets
• Prioritization of activities and correlation of Organization Structural Domain with Work Breakdown structure
• Schedule activities
• Proactive Practices and Tools to Reduce Maintenance Costs
• Failure Analysis to Focus Cost Reduction Efforts
• Work Management to Improve Resource Efficiency

Objectives

At the end of this Maintenance Planning and Work Control in the Oil & Gas training course, you will learn to:

• Understand the Failure mechanisms of Oil and Gas Assets
• Identify the necessary work for Assets life maximization
• Apply the correct type of maintenance for each asset
• Schedule work activities
• Control time,  budget  and scope during maintenance
• Assess performance of Maintenance

Training Methodology

This training course on Maintenance Planning and Work control  is delivered by means of a combination of instructor-led topic areas and class discussions. This training course is further enhanced by the use of case studies, examples and practical exercises. The templates, examples and exercises are subsequently available to each delegate after the training course as a reference for further study, research or practice. This ensures a high level of knowledge and skill retention.

Organisational Impact

The organisation will:

• Gain an understanding of the sources of maintenance costs
• Be able to focus its resources on the events that contribute most to costs
• Control asset life and performance
• Fully assess Maintenance activities in time, scope and efficiency

Personal Impact

The participant will be able to:

• Understand the machine failure and degradation
• Understand how poor reliability is a major factor in the cost equation
• Implement the appropriate maintenance program to improve reliability
• Control Maintenance cost time and scope during execution
• Assess all Maintenance activities with the appropriate indicators
