However\, organizations spend a lot of time\, efforts\, resources and money on training their employees\, and often fail to get the desired results from the training. One of the major reason behind this is the lack of proper training and development management which is the most critical element for effective training. \nThis highly engaging program will help the participants to apply the best practices from leading organizations that enhance the value of training and development and will equip the participants with practical training and development function management knowledge\, tools and techniques applicable in the oil and gas industry. \nWho Should Attend\n\nTraining Offiers\nTraining Managers\nTraining Heads\nLearning and Development Professionals\nHuman Resources Mangers\nInternal Trainers\nOrganizational Development ProfessionalsLine managers involved in training function\n\nKey Learning Objectives\nAt the end of the training\, the participants will be able to: \n\nWin over top management with training framework  that drives corporate strategy\nIdentify the correct training needs and learning gaps\nApply systematic process for conducting need analysis\nPrepare proper learning objectives\nAlign training plans with business objectives and organizational goals\nRecommend the right training for the right person at the right time\nPrepare development plans for the employees\nDevelop the necessary skills to effectively manage  the training function\nPlan customized learning interventions\nUtilize the training budgets properly\nPartner with stakeholders\, line manager and senior  management\nPromote the training function internally\nEvaluate effectiveness of training programs and  learning interventions\nPropose a detailed L&D plan\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/managing-the-training-and-development-function-in-oil-and-gas-industry-3/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:3.1384965;101.7099933 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180326 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180328 DTSTAMP:20260420T121038 CREATED:20171124T083259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171124T083259Z UID:10000200-1522022400-1522195199@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:ALARP Principles & Guidelines DESCRIPTION:Overview\nRisk reduction measures are required to be demonstrated in safety case as per Singapore WSH (MHI) Regulations. One of the key components of Safety Case is to demonstrate risk reduction to ALARP level by adopting and implementing control measures. Therefore\, there is a need to understand the use of these principles with respect to the level of uncertainty and on the risk criteria. In this case-study led workshop\, delegates will be taught on the key concepts\, and approaches taken to demonstrate or provide evidence on ALARP. The idea behind ALARP is to demonstrate risk reductions in MHI based on reasonable practicability and gross disproportion\, which is a balancing act between cost and risk. As far as the application of numerical risk criteria is concerned\, it is not always correct and thus the demonstration of ALARP and the usage of risk criteria should be justified based on the categorization of risk which may be either qualitative\, semi-quantitative\, or quantitative. Many Countries regulate Major Hazard sites using a safety case regime based on a risk-based approach to process safety; Singapore is rolling out such a regime as mentioned. These regimes require that risk is controlled to ALARP (As Low AS Reasonably Practicable) level which is a very different approach to safety management than the compliance approach that many operators are familiar with. This course covers the important principles of ALARP\, which is a commonly misunderstood concept. It discusses the variability of ALARP requirements for managing similar hazards in different circumstances and the application of risk targets. It looks at different ways of assessing risk from quantified approaches to qualitative approaches for both consequence and frequency analysis and when to use these. The application of inherent safety principles and recognised good practice are discussed along with Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and the concepts of reasonably practicable and disproportionality. Besides demonstrating ALARP in the safety case\, ALARP should be applied throughout the lifecycle of any facility. This workshop will touch on how to apply the concept in different situations such as during design\, specifying instrumented safety systems\, operating procedures\, and coverage during maintenance of safety critical equipment. Several case studies are presented for the delegates to work through and a discussion on common errors and how the concept is often misused. Throughout this workshop\, participants will be taught on how to prove that ALARP has been properly implemented as part of effective risk management and how ALARP is implemented in the design\, development\, and operation of engineering systems. \nList of Case Studies & ALARP Principles\nThis workshop is designed to be interactive with participants getting to join in the discussion and will get to share and contribute his work experience for common learning experience. The trainer will provide and share a list of case studies to participants and it draws from his previous and present work experience when he works on ALARP and a list of some of his case studies is as follows: \n\nVarying ALARP requirements – Tank Farm overfill\nApplying Inherent Safety principles in ALARP – Solvents tank farm\n\nNo industrial activity is entirely free from risk and so many companies and regulators around the world require that safety risks are reduced to levels that are As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). The ‘ALARP’ region lies somewhere between unacceptably high and negligible risk levels. Even if a level of risk has been judged to be in the ‘ALARP’ region\, it is still necessary to consider introducing further risk reduction measures to drive the remaining risks downward. Keeping ‘As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)’is an essential part of mechanical engineering across all major industries. The application of the ALARP framework varies depending on the technical and economic context. The ALARP level is reached when the time\, trouble and cost of further reduction measures become unreasonably disproportionate to the additional risk reduction obtained. However\, during operations\, the attention is on collecting feedback\, improving procedures and managing change to maintain the residual risk at an ALARP level and the ALARP today may not be the ALARP tomorrow and hence\, periodic review is necessary. In Singapore\, process safety is covered under the WSH Act and specifically under the following regulations: \n\nWSH (Risk Management) Regulations\nWSH (General Provisions) Regulations\nWSH (Registration of Factories) Regulations\nWSH (Safety and Health Management System) Regulations\nRecently WSH (Major Hazard Installations) Regulations\n\nWith the recently enacted WSH (Major Hazards Installations) Regulations\, companies are now required to draft and submit safety case to Major Hazards Department\, Ministry of Manpower in order to obtain Major Hazard Installation certificate of registration. In the safety case\, companies are required to submit PHA study and in it\, is the is the ALARP Demonstration. \nWho Should Attend\nEngineers\, Executives\, Supervisors\, and Managers especially those who work in Technical & Planning\, Production/Operation\, Engineering\, and SHE departments in Refinery\, Chemicals\, and Petrochemical settings will benefit by attending this course. \nPotential attendees are listed out as follow: \n\nProcess Engineer\nProcess Champion\nEHS Engineer\nProduction Engineer\nProduction Supervisor\nMaintenance Engineer\nOperations Engineer\nMechanical Engineer\nPiping Engineer\nProduction Manager\nTechnical Manager\nTechnical Development Manager\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nLEARN the essential principles of ALARP and how it fits within a Safety Case\nGAIN the key concepts of ALARP principles and the fundamental approaches for its applications\nKNOW the HSE principles for Cost Benefit Analyses (CBA) in support of ALARP decisions\nUNDERSTAND the approaches to good practice and to demonstrate ALARP using different decision making criteria\nACQUIRE tools and techniques to determine factors in selecting or rejecting control measures\nWith each process deviation\, APPLY the concept of ALARP (As Low as Reasonably Practicable) or risk elimination on the causes and consequences\nBECOME familiar with PHA study\, its context in WSH Act and its relation in Safety Case regime\nExercise CAUTION in regards to reverse ALARP whereby CBA or QRA is used to justify higher risk\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/alarp-principles-guidelines-4/ LOCATION:Singapore\, Singapore GEO:1.352083;103.819836 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180326 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180328 DTSTAMP:20260420T121038 CREATED:20171124T042939Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171204T033509Z UID:10000190-1522022400-1522195199@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Enhanced Assessment on Money Laundering And Terrorism Financing (ML/TF) Risks DESCRIPTION:Overview\nFATF Recommendations and domestic legislation require financial institutions and their supervisors to identify\, assess and understand the ML and TF risks they face and to take effective actions to mitigate those risks. The purpose of these requirements is to focus AML strategies and compliance efforts where the risks are higher\, and at the same time\, to manage more effectively the costs of compliance and to reduce the fim’s exposure to ML and TF risks. \nML and TF risks can be quite diversified and complex as ML and TF techniques continuously evolve\, and their identification and mitigation could be challenging for firms. The costs of compliance are increasing\, and so is the risk of sanctions by supervisors for failure to comply effectively with AML/CFT requirements. International banks are setting the bar high for AML/CFT compliance to establish correspondent banking relationships. \nIn light of these challenges\, this course aims at providing participants with operational knowledge for identifying and assessing ML and TF risks\, acquiring information on the latest ML and TF trends\, and understanding the best practices in creating strategies and setting up effective risk-based compliance systems that is compliant with both FATF Recommendations and other international best practices. \nWho Should Attend\nPrincipals especially those working in the Financial Industry including both the public sector (financial regulators and supervisors) and private sector (such as Banking\, Insurance\, and Securities) are encouraged and shall benefit by attending this course. \nA list of POTENTIAL ATTENDEES\, but not exhaustive\, is laid out below as follow: \n\nFinancial Transaction Regulators / Supervisors\nFinancial Intelligence Managers/Analysts\nPolicy Makers\nFinancial Institution Directors\nFinancial Institution (Senior) Vice Presidents\nAML/CFT Policy Analyst\nAML/CFT Compliance Analyst\nCompliance Manager\nCompliance Auditors\nRelationship Managers\nRisk Managers\nPrivate Equity Professionals\nFinancial Lawyers\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nLEARN the latest trends of ML and TF\nACQUIRE practical yet effective strategies for identifying and assessing ML and TF risks\nUNDERSTAND ML and TF risks\nMITIGATE money laundering and terrorist financing risks based on risk-based approach (RBA)\nENSURE that the AML/CFT regime is adequate to address such risks\nSTRENGTHEN compliance oversight on AML/ CFT policies and coordination\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/enhanced-assessment-on-money-laundering-and-terrorism-financing-mltf-risks-2/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Banking and Finance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.opuskinetic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/bitmap.png GEO:3.1384965;101.7099933 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180322 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180324 DTSTAMP:20260420T121038 CREATED:20171124T042026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171124T042026Z UID:10000189-1521676800-1521849599@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.

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 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 results that they get.  Therefore challenging times in the age of disruption call for new thinking.

One of the key components of Safety Case is to demonstrate risk reduction to ALARP level by adopting and implementing control measures. Therefore\, there is a need to understand the use of these principles with respect to the level of uncertainty and on the risk criteria. In this case-study led workshop\, delegates will be taught on the key concepts\, and approaches taken to demonstrate or provide evidence on ALARP. The idea behind ALARP is to demonstrate risk reductions in MHI based on reasonable practicability and gross disproportion\, which is a balancing act between cost and risk. As far as the application of numerical risk criteria is concerned\, it is not always correct and thus the demonstration of ALARP and the usage of risk criteria should be justified based on the categorization of risk which may be either qualitative\, semi-quantitative\, or quantitative. Many Countries regulate Major Hazard sites using a safety case regime based on a risk-based approach to process safety; Singapore is rolling out such a regime as mentioned. These regimes require that risk is controlled to ALARP (As Low AS Reasonably Practicable) level which is a very different approach to safety management than the compliance approach that many operators are familiar with. This course covers the important principles of ALARP\, which is a commonly misunderstood concept. It discusses the variability of ALARP requirements for managing similar hazards in different circumstances and the application of risk targets. It looks at different ways of assessing risk from quantified approaches to qualitative approaches for both consequence and frequency analysis and when to use these. The application of inherent safety principles and recognised good practice are discussed along with Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and the concepts of reasonably practicable and disproportionality. Besides demonstrating ALARP in the safety case\, ALARP should be applied throughout the lifecycle of any facility. This workshop will touch on how to apply the concept in different situations such as during design\, specifying instrumented safety systems\, operating procedures\, and coverage during maintenance of safety critical equipment. Several case studies are presented for the delegates to work through and a discussion on common errors and how the concept is often misused. Throughout this workshop\, participants will be taught on how to prove that ALARP has been properly implemented as part of effective risk management and how ALARP is implemented in the design\, development\, and operation of engineering systems. \nList of Case Studies & ALARP Principles\nThis workshop is designed to be interactive with participants getting to join in the discussion and will get to share and contribute his work experience for common learning experience. The trainer will provide and share a list of case studies to participants and it draws from his previous and present work experience when he works on ALARP and a list of some of his case studies is as follows: \n\nVarying ALARP requirements – Tank Farm overfill\nApplying Inherent Safety principles in ALARP – Solvents tank farm\n\nNo industrial activity is entirely free from risk and so many companies and regulators around the world require that safety risks are reduced to levels that are As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). The ‘ALARP’ region lies somewhere between unacceptably high and negligible risk levels. Even if a level of risk has been judged to be in the ‘ALARP’ region\, it is still necessary to consider introducing further risk reduction measures to drive the remaining risks downward. Keeping ‘As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)’is an essential part of mechanical engineering across all major industries. The application of the ALARP framework varies depending on the technical and economic context. The ALARP level is reached when the time\, trouble and cost of further reduction measures become unreasonably disproportionate to the additional risk reduction obtained. However\, during operations\, the attention is on collecting feedback\, improving procedures and managing change to maintain the residual risk at an ALARP level and the ALARP today may not be the ALARP tomorrow and hence\, periodic review is necessary. In Singapore\, process safety is covered under the WSH Act and specifically under the following regulations: \n\nWSH (Risk Management) Regulations\nWSH (General Provisions) Regulations\nWSH (Registration of Factories) Regulations\nWSH (Safety and Health Management System) Regulations\nRecently WSH (Major Hazard Installations) Regulations\n\nWith the recently enacted WSH (Major Hazards Installations) Regulations\, companies are now required to draft and submit safety case to Major Hazards Department\, Ministry of Manpower in order to obtain Major Hazard Installation certificate of registration. In the safety case\, companies are required to submit PHA study and in it\, is the is the ALARP Demonstration. \nWho Should Attend\nEngineers\, Executives\, Supervisors\, and Managers especially those who work in Technical & Planning\, Production/Operation\, Engineering\, and SHE departments in Refinery\, Chemicals\, and Petrochemical settings will benefit by attending this course. \nPotential attendees are listed out as follow: \n\nProcess Engineer\nProcess Champion\nEHS Engineer\nProduction Engineer\nProduction Supervisor\nMaintenance Engineer\nOperations Engineer\nMechanical Engineer\nPiping Engineer\nProduction Manager\nTechnical Manager\nTechnical Development Manager\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nLEARN the essential principles of ALARP and how it fits within a Safety Case\nGAIN the key concepts of ALARP principles and the fundamental approaches for its applications\nKNOW the HSE principles for Cost Benefit Analyses (CBA) in support of ALARP decisions\nUNDERSTAND the approaches to good practice and to demonstrate ALARP using different decision making criteria\nACQUIRE tools and techniques to determine factors in selecting or rejecting control measures\nWith each process deviation\, APPLY the concept of ALARP (As Low as Reasonably Practicable) or risk elimination on the causes and consequences\nBECOME familiar with PHA study\, its context in WSH Act and its relation in Safety Case regime\nExercise CAUTION in regards to reverse ALARP whereby CBA or QRA is used to justify higher risk\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/alarp-principles-guidelines-3/ LOCATION:Singapore\, Singapore GEO:1.352083;103.819836 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180129 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180131 DTSTAMP:20260420T121038 CREATED:20171121T071521Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171121T071521Z UID:10000333-1517184000-1517356799@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Managing the Training and Development Function in Oil and Gas Industry DESCRIPTION:Overview\nTraining and Development is the most important function for every organization because it plays a signifiant role in the employee’s development and organization performance.

The purpose of these requirements is to focus AML strategies and compliance effrts where the risks are higher\, and at the same time\, to manage more effctively the costs of compliance and to reduce the fim’s exposure to ML and TF risks. \nML and TF risks can be quite diversifid and complex as ML and TF techniques continuously evolve\, and their identifiation and mitigation could be challenging for fims. The costs of compliance are increasing\, and so is the risk of sanctions by supervisors for failure to comply effctively with AML/CFT requirements. International banks are setting the bar high for AML/CFT compliance to establish correspondent banking relationships. \nIn light of these challenges\, this anti-money laundering course aims at providing participants with operational knowledge for identifying and assessing ML and TF risks\, acquiring information on the latest ML and TF trends\, and understanding the best practices in creating strategies and setting up effective risk-based compliance systems that is compliant with both FATF Recommendations and other international best practices. \nWho Should Attend\nPrincipals especially those working in the Financial Industry including both the public sector (financial regulators and supervisors) and private sector (such as Banking\, Insurance\, and Securities) are encouraged and shall benefit by attending this course.\nA list of POTENTIAL ATTENDEES\, but not exhaustive\, is laid out below as follow: \n\nFinancial Transaction Regulators / Supervisors\nFinancial Intelligence Managers/Analysts\nPolicy Makers\nFinancial Institution Directors\nFinancial Institution (Senior) Vice Presidents\nAML/CFT Policy Analyst\nAML/CFT Compliance Analyst\nCompliance Manager\nCompliance Auditors\nRelationship Managers\nRisk Managers\nPrivate Equity Professionals\nFinancial Lawyers\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\n LEARN the latest trends of ML and TF\nACQUIRE practical yet ef ective strategies for identifying and assessing ML and TF risks\n UNDERSTAND ML and TF risks\n MITIGATE money laundering and terrorist financing risks based on risk-based approach (RBA)\n ENSURE that the AML/CFT regime is adequate to address such risks\nSTRENGTHEN compliance oversight on AML/ CFT policies and coordination\n\nIn-house Trainings Available Upon Request.

The purpose of the AML rules is to help detect and report suspicious activities including the predicate offenses to money laundering and terrorist financing\, such as securities fraud and market manipulation. Recent fraud transaction has included basic but sophisticated mirror transaction and as such\, it is a responsibility to monitor and report such activities to the financial authority. \nFATF Recommendations are recognized as the global anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) standard. The Recommendations were first drafted in the 1990 and were revised several times including with major changes introduced in 2001\, 2003 and 2012. As each country has different legal\, administrative\, operational and financial system\, the FATF Recommendations shall be individually adapted to fit one’s own circumstances. FATF has in the past issued statements pertaining to strategic deficiencies in AML/CFT regimes and as such\, both financial and non-financial institutions are advised to take appropriate actions and measures to address and to revise their AML/CFT regimes accordingly to the latest FATF recommendations.\n \nIn its 2015 Mutual Evaluation Report of Malaysia\, the FATF noted of the following points for improvement: “Malaysia’s understanding of risk is sound\, although improvements are needed in the assessment of Terrorist Financing (TF) risk to include more details for the private sector\, and to deepen the assessment of Money Laundering (ML) risks from foreign sourced threats. Improvements are needed to ensure financial intelligence is used to target investigations for at least all the high-risk crime types. Malaysia is not effectively targeting its high-risk offences (other than fraud) or foreign sourced threats in its prosecution of ML as most cases relate to low-medium level offence as it tends to pursue criminal justice measures rather than ML prosecutions”. \n“Malaysia Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) also tends to use security intelligence approach to terrorism prevention rather than the financial intelligence and criminal prosecution approach against the terrorism financiers although it has some successes using other criminal justice and administrative measures to disrupt TF risks. Malaysia’s legal framework for supervision is sound with most work carried out by RIs (Reporting Institutions) which are supervised by BNM (Bank Negara Malaysia). There is a gap however in BNM FIED’s (Financial Intelligence and Enforcement Department) available resources to supervise the large DNFBPs population. For RIs\, there is a need to transition from rules based to risk based approach and RIs do not always implement CDD requirements on a risk-sensitive basis and more need to be done to focus on transnational crime and foreign risks.” \nTherefore\, there are inherent vulnerabilities in regards to ML and TF risks as Malaysia is exposed to international trade and flow of capitals. This is real as Malaysia is also situated in a region with high risk of radical activities.

Governments and regulatory bodies are the main actors in setting such levels of the first type in public private partnerships; the current shareholder interests drive the second. Many companies are involved with ISO 5500 Asset management programmes. \nReliability Engineering (RE)\, a sub-branch of Operational Research\, then is advocated to be an appropriate tool. However\, experience shows that the mathematical background of RE in many cases fails to recognise practical situations\, assuming information and operational conditions to be known to such extent that precise\, in-depth analysis is possible. Practical engineers\, generally being risk-aversive\, thus have an easy excuse of shying away from such “advanced scientific techniques” \, relying more on technical insight\, in many cases “gut feeling”. However\, the RE framework\, if properly used\, has proved to be an effective tool in decision support. \nThis workshop aims at such decision makers in the petrochemical area. It will provide the attendants with a substantiated opinion on system characteristics and analysis\, balancing technical insight with theoretical analysis. \nTraining methodology \nThe training will be given as a workshop with formal lectures and interactive exercises. Ample opportunities for discussion and experience sharing will be provided. Practical problems from attendants fit for discussion in class are welcomed. \nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is designed to be beneficial to all individuals who are involved in maintenance in the oil and gas and petrochemical industry. Job titles include but are not limited to \n\nMaintenance Engineers/Supervisors/Managers\nOperations Engineers/Supervisors/Managers\nProduction Engineers/Supervisors/Managers\nProject Engineers/Supervisors/Managers\nLogistics co-ordinators\nPlanners\nPlant Manager/ Asset Manager\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nTransform the vision of your organisation from maintenance support to Asset Management\nDeal with decisions requiring a proper understanding of chance and risk\nAnalyse system configurations in terms of potential production in relation with reliability and maintenance characteristics\nTo select and apply appropriate Reliability and Maintenance engineering methods (FMECA\, RBD\, FTA\, RCM\, RBM\, CBM) given available information\nSelect and store field information to steer and secure this management process\nUnderstand the methods that contribute to asset performance\, and that interact with and support each other\n\nIn-house Trainings Available Upon Request.

The early parts of the course focus on how to synthesize data on the key risks affecting exploration so that key observations and interpretations can be synthesized in the drawing of play fairway maps. \nThe second\, more practical\, portion of the course includes exercises in drawing and integrating common risk\nsegment maps\, all based on a real frontier licence round situation and on ‘cheap’ public domain data. This is then fed through to a licence round recommendation and to a yet-to-find analysis. Participants may use their own companies colour schemes for play fairway analysis or may adopt a scheme used by the presenter. \nWho Should Attend\nGeologists and geophysicists or exploration managers that are involved in the assessment of new exploration\nopportunities and new country entry. This is an advanced level course and a basic knowledge of petroleum\ngeology and in particular of petroleum systems is required. It would be helpful\, but not vital\, if participants have\nattended ‘Advanced Basin Analysis’\, a course that immediately percedes this one. \n\nGeologists\nGeophysicists\nGeoscientists\nExploration Managers\nExploration & Development Department\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nLEARN how to rapidly synthesize a regional database into a suite of ocloured ‘Common Risk Segment’ maps to use these to identify the regions and blocks of highest potential in any basin.\nLEARN  how to save their companies millions of dollars in data acquisition costs by rapidly focusing on the most prospective parts of basins unsing public domain data.\n\nLEARN how to deal with both risk and uncertainity and be able to cope with both good and poor datasets.\n\nLEARN a methology for rapidly screening acreage so as to respond to short term datelines such as license rounds.\nLEARN  how to extend the play fairway analysis into a ‘yet to find’ analysis assessing the remaining reserves in any basin.\n\nIn-house Trainings Available Upon Request.
