Oil & Gas Facilities: Optimising Design & Operations
A facility’s operating cost is mostly decided the day it is designed — optimisation is the art of reopening decisions everyone thought were closed.

Between the facility as designed and the facility as it could run sits recoverable margin — throughput, energy, availability. This programme works the recovery systematically: process simulation and surveillance to find the real bottlenecks rather than the reputed ones; debottlenecking options screened by cost and shutdown exposure; energy optimisation across rotating equipment, heat integration and flaring; availability improvement grounded in bad-actor analysis; and for greenfield work, the design decisions — sparing, capacity margins, layout — that operations will live with for thirty years.
What you will do
Who attends
Process, facilities and production engineers; operations supervisors and superintendents; asset managers; project engineers on brownfield modifications.
Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.Finding the margin
- The facility as it actually runs: data, simulation, mass balance
- Bottlenecks proven, not reputed
- The margin map: throughput, energy, availability — priced
II.Recovering it
- Debottlenecking: options, costs and the shutdown they require
- Energy: rotating equipment, heat integration, flare minimisation
- Availability: bad actors, sparing, the reliability conversation
III.Designing it right
- Greenfield decisions operations inherit: margins, sparing, layout
- Lifecycle cost against capital cost: the argument made properly
- Management of change: optimising without breaking the safety case
Frequently asked
Do the programmes cover the energy transition as well as conventional operations?
Both. The curriculum spans oil and gas operations, drilling project and risk management, ESG, and the global energy transition — including how conventional operators finance and sequence the shift. Participants leave able to weigh transition decisions with the same rigour they apply to an operating asset.
Is project finance for energy and infrastructure covered?
Yes — advanced project finance analysis and modelling, PPP and infrastructure finance, and the financing of oil, gas and mining projects all sit in the curriculum. Participants leave able to build and stress a project-finance model and defend the structure to lenders and boards.
How do we enrol a team on an energy programme?
Send an enquiry or brochure request from the programme page; a senior practitioner responds within one business day with the brochure and the options for your group. Team cohorts are arranged through that proposal — including a private, in-house edition when the whole unit should train together.
Who typically attends the energy and utilities programmes?
Engineers, operations managers, project and commercial leaders, and HSE and finance professionals from oil and gas, power, utilities and mining. Regulators and national companies attend alongside private operators, which sharpens the discussion on both sides.
