Maintenance Planning and Work Control for Oil & Gas Professionals
Introduction
In an era of fluctuating oil and gas prices, maintenance efficiency has become a critical factor in sustaining operational performance. Lower revenues and shrinking budgets are pushing maintenance teams to achieve maximum safety, reliability, and equipment availability at reduced life-cycle costs.
This course equips oil and gas professionals with practical tools, proven methodologies, and best practices for **effective maintenance planning and work control**. By integrating proactive strategies, cost-reduction approaches, and performance-focused planning, participants will learn how to optimize asset reliability and operational uptime throughout the entire equipment life-cycle.
Objectives
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
* Understand the failure and degradation characteristics of oil and gas assets.
* Classify assets based on criticality for effective work identification.
* Apply proactive maintenance practices to reduce life-cycle costs.
* Plan, schedule, and control maintenance activities efficiently.
* Implement failure analysis to prioritize cost-reduction efforts.
* Use work management techniques to improve resource efficiency.
* Monitor, measure, and report maintenance performance indicators.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for:
* Maintenance Managers, Supervisors, and Engineers.
* Asset and Reliability Engineers.
* Operations and Production Supervisors.
* Planners, Schedulers, and Work Control Coordinators.
* Technical staff involved in oil and gas facility maintenance and asset management.
