Specific to the oil and gas offshore industry, the reference dives into project economics, interface management and contracts. Methods for analyzing risk, activity calculations and risk response strategies are covered for offshore, FPSO and pipelines. Supported with case studies, detailed discussions, and practical applications, this comprehensive book gives oil and gas managers a management toolbox to extend asset life, reduce costs and minimalize impact to personnel and environment.
Oil and gas assets are under constant pressure and engineers and managers need engineering management training and strategies to ensure their operations are safe and cost effective. This book helps manage the ramp up to the management of offshore structures.
- Discusses engineering management for new and existing offshore platforms, including FPSOs and subsea pipelines
- Presents everything a reader needs to understand the most recent PMP modules and management methods
- Provides the best tools, tactics and forms through several practical case studies
Project manager; project engineer or any technical discipline working for offshore projects
