Course Introduction
Large-scale oil and gas projects require meticulous execution management to balance scope, time, cost, and quality. From engineering design to procurement and contractor award, each phase involves strategic decision-making and complex coordination. Poorly managed contracts, unclear scopes, and misaligned procurement can derail even the most technically sound project.
This course offers a comprehensive framework for managing project execution phases, focusing on engineering deliverables, procurement planning, contracts administration, tendering, bid evaluation, and contractor award—especially under EPC/EPIC models. Participants will gain practical tools to ensure accountability, control risks, and deliver project outcomes efficiently.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the lifecycle of project execution in oil & gas capital projects
• Plan and manage engineering and procurement workflows under project constraints
• Develop and administer contracts aligned with project execution objectives
• Conduct tendering, bid evaluations, and contractor selection with transparency
• Manage contract risks, change orders, and contractor performance
• Ensure successful handover and close-out of EPC/EPIC contracts
Key Benefits of Attending
• Master the integration of engineering, procurement, and contract management in projects
• Reduce project delays, disputes, and cost overruns through structured contract controls
