INTRODUCTION
In simultaneous operations (SIMOPS), independent operation may impact the safety of personnel, equipment, and environment of another operation. SIMOPS requirements include hazard identification and risk mitigation and/or safety impact when planning SIMOPS work activities to be taking place simultaneously in the same location. These operations can be offshore, i.e. subsea oil and gas production, or onshore, i.e. oil and gas marine terminals during expansion or major maintenance work within a “live” process area of existing facility. SIMOPS also refer to steps taken during the construction, commissioning, start-up and operation of any onshore Oil & Gas Processing Plant.
This programme will focus on the strengths of creating and implementing SIMOPS plans and activities for organization regarding onshore and offshore projects. Consequences of not including them, such as costly delays or serious harm or injury to onshore/ off shore oil and gas installations and personnel, will also be explained. The programme will include several workshops with solving real problems from everyday practice.
Participants will develop the following competencies:
- Full confidence in dealing with various aspects of SIMOPS
- Effective communication necessary for making SIMPOS efficient and working smoothly
- Development of risk mitigation measures in case of simultaneous hazardous activities
- Help your technical team find good solutions in complex operational situations
- Organization of effective working teams with clear roles and responsibilities
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Plant engineers and project engineers
- Reliability and integrity supervisors and engineers including safeguarding of process
- Technical personnel responsible for monitoring and assessing equipment maintenance and operations
- Supervisors responsible for maintenance and shutdown planning and implementation
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
This programme aims to enable participants to achieve the following objectives:
- Techniques to handle effectively the simultaneous operations (SIMOPS)
- Skill to organize and plan all relevant activities
- Knowledge of the hazards and risks involved in SIMOPS
- Flexibility to adapt to new situations
- Understanding of the process guidelines to be followed
- Recognizing the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The seminar will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples. The emphasis in the programme will be on the explanation of all technical points and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday industrial practice regarding the risk assessment of simultaneous operations and related activities in oil and gas industry.
Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples. There will be ample opportunities for active discussion and sharing professional experiences and exchange that will help solidify the gained knowledge. All programme materials will be provided.
PROGRAMME SUMMARY
The programme aims to provide useful knowledge in applying the risk assessment techniques to various aspects of simultaneous operations (SIMOPS). The programme will also provide the knowledge on how to organize technical teams that function efficiently so that good solutions can be found in urgent situations. The programme will provide best practices on how the efficient technical teams function, and what are the roles and responsibilities of the team members in doing SIMOPS activities.
