RCM is done by asking seven questions about our asset or system that is being maintained. \n– What are the functions and associated performance standards of the asset in its present operating context ?\n– In what ways does it fail to fulfill its functions?\n– What causes each functional failure ?\n– What happens when each failure occurs ?\n– In what ways does each failure matters ?\n– What can be done to predict or prevent each failure ?\n– What should be done if a suitable proactive tasks cannot be found ? \n\nRCM was discovered by Stanley Nowlan and Howard Heap from United Airlines industry and emerged from the most important piece of research ever done on an equipment. RCM explains the capabilities as well as the limitation of scheduled Preventive Maintenance. RCM is a process to determine what should be done in order to ensure that our physical assets continue to do whatever the user wants them to do in its present operating context.\nIf you are happy with the way you and your people perform maintenance\, then I am glad for you and you don’t need this course\, but if you ever wonder and have the slightest doubt that your current Preventive Maintenance strategy is not enough despite your very best and noble efforts\, then you definitely need to attend this course.\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nAll Maintenance Professionals\nMaintenance Managers\nMaintenance Supervisors\nFacilities Managers\nPreventive Maintenance Group\nPredictive Maintenance Groups\nReliability Engineers and Managers\nMaintenance Planners\nOperations and Production Managers\nManagement and Decision Makers\nContinuous Improvement Groups\nPeople in charge of their assets\n\n\nKey learning objectives:\n\nProvide a deeper understanding on what it takes for our maintenance to be most effective and efficient.\nRealize that maintenance tasks will be based from the consequences of the failure itself\nKnow when to use the different maintenance tasks at hand with the aid of a Decision Diagram\nLearn the 6 failure patterns and how it affects us in our day to day maintenance activities\nLearn how to apply Reliability-Centred Maintenance in our daily activities\n   URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/reliability-centered-maintenance/ LOCATION:Vietnam\, Viet Nam CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:14.058324;108.277199 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161207 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161208 DTSTAMP:20260406T064515 CREATED:20170623T061435Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170623T061435Z UID:10000149-1481068800-1481155199@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Advanced Basin Analysis DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe key to successful basin analysis is integrating all of the existing data to synthesis a model of the basin. This requires the integration of geological\, geochemical and geophysical data from public and private sources. Sometimes data sources are both limited and sparse. Thus one must be prepared to use all the tools available to extrapolate the existing data to develop an understanding that allows a viable assessment of its petroleum potential. One must then take the analysis one step further and visualize\, from the existing data\, what types of combinations of traps\, reservoirs and seals might hold economic accumulations. It is important that in the analysis one answers questions and draws conclusions. An important conclusion is assessing the exploration\, development\, and economic risk. It is critical that one does not leave decision makers without the tools to make prudent decisions. \n  \nWho Should Attend\nThis course is ideal for professionals involved in basin evaluation\, with at least 3-5 years of related experience. Job titles include but are not limited to: \n\nExploration & Development Geoscientists\nGeologists\nGeophysicists\nReservoir & Petroleum Engineers\nPetrophysicists\nE&P Managers\n\n\nKey Learning Points:\n\nDetect and define the basin\nGet a thorough understanding of structural elements and influence\nUnderstand important aspects of sedimentary formations\, sequence stratigraphy\, and subsurface pressure characteristics\nAppreciate petroleum system components and hydrocarbon preservation\nEvaluate maturation in petroleum geochemistry\nMove from basin scale to prospect scale\nCase histories to help you evaluate variation and learn how properties impact prospectivity\n\nEndorsed by: \n\n   \n \n \n \n\n  \nFor further information of this course\, please email to info@opuskinetic.com URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/advanced-basin-analysis/ LOCATION:Malaysia\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:4.210484;101.975766 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161205 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161206 DTSTAMP:20260406T064515 CREATED:20170623T073505Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170623T073505Z UID:10000231-1480896000-1480982399@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Advanced Gas Lift DESCRIPTION:Overview\nOver 70% of the world’s oil and gas production is artificially lifted\, with a significant number of strings being gas lifted. Most gas lifted facilities are aging and are only addressed in a reactive nature because focus tends to be on “more important” projects. Over the 3 days of this program you will learn the significance of your gas lifted wells and their place within the whole production process. All wells are part of a system and each and every well has an impact on that system. You will also be made aware of other elements that make up the gas lift system and have an impact on a productive\, optimised and safe operation. This program is designed to introduce and/or refresh the skills of all levels of field/operations and office based personnel involved in oil and gas production using Gas Lift. The content and approach allows all disciplines to be included as the format addresses a large number of subjects regarding Gas Lift Operations that should be known but are rarely visited in other training programs. The aim is to provide a workshop based forum to allow interaction and participation from the participants\, with this inclusiveness taking into account the skill levels of all participants\, Awareness\, Knowledge\, Skill and Mastery. Experience has shown that within the GL discipline all levels have gaps in their skill set that need a healthcheck or update from time to time. The aim is to allow flexibility in how the sessions flow to ensure focus on the subjects that have the greatest influence and value to the individual\, team and companies represented by the audience. \nWho should attend\nEngineers and Managers especially those who work in projects\, reservoir engineering\, field development and production group.\nPotential attendees are listed out as follow: \n\nSurveillance Engineers\nOperators\nWireline Crews\nProject Support & Services Department\nManagers and anyone who has a role to play in a Gas Lifted Operation\nExploration & Production (E&P) Manager\nTeam Leaders\nReservoir Engineers\nPetroleum Engineers\nProduction Technicians/Technologists\nProduction Engineers\nArtificial/Gas Lift Specialists\nWell-Testers\n\n\nKey Learning points\n\nIDENTIFY wells that are producing sub-optimally\nACQUIRE practical skills and techniques to track changes in well performance over time\nIMPROVE your understanding on well surveillance concept which include analysis\, evaluation\, design and optimisation\nGAIN first-hand technical knowledge and skills on well surveillance and troubleshooting from the global Subject Matter Expert himself\nUNDERSTAND the concept and benefits of gas lift especially its place in the whole production system efficiency context URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/advanced-gas-lift/ LOCATION:Malaysia\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:4.210484;101.975766 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161205 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161206 DTSTAMP:20260406T064515 CREATED:20170623T065011Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170623T065011Z UID:10000185-1480896000-1480982399@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Electrical Reliability and Maintenance Strategies for Ageing Electrical Asset Management DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis practical two-day tailor-made course will explain the importance of the electrical asset management in operation to the area of maintenance\, reliability and ageing asset behaviour\, which can contribute asset risk and plant safety aspect in electrical operation.

This legislation places a high demand on those operating hazardous plants to demonstrate that they have taken ‘all reasonable measures’ to prevent major accidents and limit their consequences.  \nFor sites holding an inventory of dangerous substances above certain thresholds for flmmability\, toxicity or eco-toxicity\, a key requirement is to write a Safety Case. This document presents a demonstration that all Major Accident Hazards have been identifid\, and that suitable risk controls have been implemented which provide protection throughout the lifecycle of the plant. There needs to be robust management arrangements to support the required level of protection\, covering key elements of a Process Safety Management system.  \nPreparation of Safety Cases in the UK follows detailed guidance from the UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE)\, which gives key criteria for information to be included in the Safety Case. This requires prescribed information and demonstrations under the headings; Descriptive Aspects\, Predictive Aspects\, Management System\, Technical Measures\, Environmental Aspects and Emergency Planning. This course will provide practical guidance on providing this data to a suitable level of detail\, outlining the need for a multi-disciplinary team and detailed project programme with key milestones.  \nA key requirement for Safety Cases is to identify potential Major Accidents and conduct a proportionate risk assessment to demonstrate that ‘all measures necessary’ have been applied. This aspect is fundamental to all the other demonstrations in the Safety Case\, and has resulted in many being rejected by the HSE during the assessment phase. This course will provide a detailed approach for identifying major accidents\, developing a ‘representative set’ of scenarios for the site\, and carrying out a proportionate and quantifid risk assessment for these scenarios. The objective is to show that ‘relevant good practice’ has been applied in order to reduce risks to ‘as low as reasonably practicable’ (ALARP). \nWho should attend:\nThis course has been designed for people likely to be affected by the new Safety Case regime. It will provide a greater understanding for Senior Managers\, Process Safety Professionals and Senior Engineers in the detailed requirements for preparing Safety Cases and the resources and timescales likely to be required. \n \n\nKey Learning Points: \n\nGain awareness of the Safety Case regime planned for Singapore\nUnderstand what needs to be included in a Safety Case\nHave insight on a practical approach for identifying and assessing Major Accident Hazards\nUnderstand the signifiant time and resource requirement to write a Safety Case\nBe an intelligent buyer of specialist support for aspects of the Safety Case\nImprove awareness of best practice based on the stringent requirements of the UK HSE URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/safety-case-regime/ LOCATION:Singapore\, Singapore CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:1.352083;103.819836 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161205 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161206 DTSTAMP:20260406T064515 CREATED:20170623T041701Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170623T041701Z UID:10000115-1480896000-1480982399@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Advanced Pricing Negotiations in Gas and LNG Sales DESCRIPTION:  \n\nOverview\nThis three day course is a unique opportunity for course delegates to enhance their negotiations skills and build their knowledge of the global LNG market.

This legislation places a high demand on those operating hazardous plants to demonstrate that they have taken ‘all reasonable measures’ to prevent major accidents and limit their consequences. \nFor sites holding an inventory of dangerous substances above certain thresholds for flammability\, toxicity or eco-toxicity\, a key requirement is to write a Safety Case. This document presents a demonstration that all Major Accident Hazards have been identified\, and that suitable risk controls have been implemented which provide protection throughout the lifecycle of the plant. There needs to be robust management arrangements to support the required level of protection\, covering key elements of a Process Safety Management system. \nPreparation of Safety Cases in the UK follows detailed guidance from the UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE)\, which gives key criteria for information to be included in the Safety Case. This requires prescribed information and demonstrations under the headings; Descriptive Aspects\, Predictive Aspects\, Management System\, Technical Measures\, Environmental Aspects and Emergency Planning. This course will provide practical guidance on providing this data to a suitable level of detail\, outlining the need for a multi-disciplinary team and detailed project programme with key milestones. \nA key requirement for Safety Cases is to identify potential Major Accidents and conduct a proportionate risk assessment to demonstrate that ‘all measures necessary’ have been applied. This aspect is fundamental to all the other demonstrations in the Safety Case\, and has resulted in many being rejected by the HSE during the assessment phase. This course will provide a detailed approach for identifying major accidents\, developing a ‘representative set’ of scenarios for the site\, and carrying out a proportionate and quantified risk assessment for these scenarios. The objective is to show that ‘relevant good practice’ has been applied in order to reduce risks to ‘as low as reasonably practicable’ (ALARP). \nThe course will be interactive\, allowing delegates to raise concerns and share experiences. A number of case studies\, videos and exercises will be used to improve the learning experience and reinforce messages from the modules.

In the journal it indicated many organizations are questioning the value that HR is contributing to their organizations. It seems that most of these questionable HR organizations spend their time in administrative and compliance related activities or in out dated HR practices from decades past. The research is clear that if HR is going to be part of the C Suite 3 of the future (CEO\, CFO and CHRO) then it needs to bring a particular set of capabilities and value to the table. CEO’s know that Businesses don’t create value; people do. In order for Human Resources Leaders to be a player at the table creating value to the C Suite 3 and the organization it needs to understand that organizations are in the age of disruption. The law of the 21st Century is to disrupt or be disrupted. To add value at the table it needs to be able to: \n(1) Set the people agenda – like any other function\, HR must show why the issues it addresses matter to the business and that it has sensible ways to manage them.\n(2) Focus on here and now – it needs to focus on issues that are here and now for the business\, not get bogged down in administrative tasks or be in a position that they don’t understand the business and its potential to be disrupted or to disrupt its industry. \n(3) Practices on Outcomes – HR needs not only a deep understanding of the work place issues but more importantly it needs to bring first rate analytics to help their organizations make sense of their employee data and get the most out of their human capital. They need to be able to predict outcomes and performance of their organizations based on their knowledge of culture and human capital and its fit with the work of the organization. \n(4) Diagnosing Problems – HR needs to be in a position to pinpoint precisely why an organization might not be performing well or meeting its goals and how the age of disruption is being played out in its organization. \n(5) Prescribing actions to add value – HR needs to be prepared to recommend actions that will unlock or create value through the reallocation of human capital or redesigning and aligning the organizations structures and systems in the organization. In the age of disruption it needs to understand the shockwaves and the four reinvention enablers. \n(6) – HR needs to move from being seen as a cost center by the business where the goal is always cut\,cut\,cut. being able to quantify costs and benefits (ROI) turns talent and organizational design choices into decisions. \nNew HR Strategies in Tough Times provides frameworks and tools for HR professionals in build and or increase capabilities in these six critical areas detailed above. These capabilities are beneficial in HR in all industries. A phrase coined many years ago states that organizations are perfectly designed to get the results that they get. Therefore challenging times in the age of distruption call for new thinking. If you could choose one workshop that would make a significance difference in positioning your HR organization to create greater value for your organization this is that workshop. \nWho should attend\nJob Titles of relevant Organizational Leaders in HR and their business partners that can benefit from attending your class: \n\nLeaders charged with the responsibility for HR including human capital strategies to create a competitive advantage for their organization.\nIn HR these are generally your CHRO CPO VP of HR\, CLO (Chief CKO L&OD (Learning & Organization Development)\, VPs\, Directors\, Managers and professionals.\nIdeally organizational leaders would accompany their HR leaders and their titles might range from CEO\, CFO\, COO\, CIO\,CTO\, VP\, Managing Directors\, Directors\, Managers and Team leaders.\n\n\nKey Learning Points\n9 bullet points on what participants can learn from the New HR Strategies in Tough Times: \n\n They will learn about the shockwaves that cause disruptions in businesses environments and the blindfolds that cause leaders to be unaware of what is happening around them. They will learn that the law of the 21st century is to disrupt or be disrupted and what are the reinvention enablers that HR leaders can use to navigate this white water.\nThey will learn that “organizations are perfectly designed to get the results that they get” and how to use the Organizational Systems Design (OSD) model to help them diagnose people problems in their organizations and prescribe actions to unlock and create value.\nThey will learn how to identify and categorize the organization’s business processes in order to create a differentiation strategy that will create unique value for their organization.\nThey will learn how to identify and develop high performance teams for their organization that can create a competitive advantage for them.\nThey will learn how to identify and develop a “leadership” brand for their organization that can create a competitive advantage for them.\nKnowledge has become a direct competitive advantage for most organizations. They will learn how to obtain the most beneficial use of employees' knowledge and abilities and create a competitive advantage.\nThey will learn the principles and tools for capturing the hearts and minds of their human capital to enhance their engagement\nThey will learn methodologies on how to predict outcomes and highlight financial benefits as a way to add value to their organizations.\n   URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/new-hr-strategies-in-a-tough-environment-2/ LOCATION:Malaysia\, Malaysia GEO:4.210484;101.975766 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161109 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161110 DTSTAMP:20260406T064515 CREATED:20170623T040754Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170623T040754Z UID:10000109-1478649600-1478735999@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Life Cycle Asset And Maintenance Management DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe total cost of ownership of an asset is often far greater than the initial capital outlay cost and can vary significantly between the different alternative solutions to an operational need.
