Project Management for Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Projects

Oil, gas and petrochemical projects across Africa combine very high capital value, stringent safety demands and unforgiving schedules. This course applies project management to the specific stage gate discipline this sector expects. Delegates learn to manage front end loading, engineering, procurement and construction on projects where errors are extremely costly.

What you will be able to do

  • Apply the stage gate discipline used for major oil and gas capital projects.
  • Manage front end loading so the project is well defined before sanction.
  • Coordinate engineering, procurement and construction across the project life.
  • Embed process safety and integrity requirements into project delivery.
  • Manage long lead procurement and specialist fabrication schedules.
  • Plan commissioning, start up and handover to operations safely.
