Introduction to Oil & Gas EPC and Project Management for Non Engineers

OVERVIEW

The execution phase of industrial projects such as oil and gas projects consists of detailed engineering, procurement, and construction, normally known as EPC, and starts after the final investment decision by the owners. Companies that provide integrated engineering, procurement, and construction services are called EPC contractors. Managing the EPC contracts is usually complicated and requires special expertise and knowledge. This course will provide an overview of such expertise and knowledge. In particular, the attributes of EPC business, EPC project lifecycle, phases, and gates are explained, the flow of engineering activities and interconnections between engineering disciplines are described, and the fundamentals of project procurement management and administration, logistics, bidding, and contracting are reviewed. Also, major construction management activities are explained as tools and techniques to monitor and control project performance are introduced.
