Case Studies
The Company shall also be responsible to supply adequate tools and equipment and safety suitable for offshore environment and prior to mobilization the tools and equipment shall be inspected prior to being sent offshore. This paper describes a general approach to planning and control which is aimed at overcoming these problems. There will also be pre-course as well as post-course assessment tests.
Examples and video clips of past offshore fabrication and load-out activities, as well as offshore installation activities will be used to aid the learning and understanding of the subject matters.

Abstract Hook-up and commissioning is a critical phase in the successful development of an phase in the successful development of an offshore oil production problems of carrying out major works at a remote offshore location make good planning and control very difficult to achieve. This paper describes a general approach to planning and control which is proess at overcoming these problems. How best to set up the organization and management is considered, a planning method is outlined, and the major factors which influence offsohre control of cost and schedule are discussed. Introduction And development of a typical offshore oil hookup platform has several distinct phases: conceptual design, detailed design, phases: conceptual design, detailed design, fabrication, installation, and the hook-up and commissioning of the topside facilities. Hook-up and commissioning begins immediately the facilities modules have been installed on the support structure, offshire ends when the working platform is transferred from the project anv to the operating team. The volume of hook-up and commissioning work is influenced by decisions taken during the earlier project phases. For instance, the conceptual design decisions which determine the choice of platform type; steel jacket; will have a major impact on ofdshore amount of offshore work. Although a principal aim of project management is to minimise prcess extent of the offshore work because of its high cost, hook-up and commissioning has, nevertheless, often formed a significant part of the whole project. In one recent instance where a steel jacket supported process, drilling and accommodation facilities, the offshore work accounted for 25 % of the total project cost and 25% of the total project duration. Consequently, there is likely to be intense corporate scrutiny and pressure for success. In addition to all the commissioning difficulties inherent in the execution of major construction works, hook-up and commissioning encounters the process problems which arise from its remote offshore location. This paper describes such an approach which, as well as incorporating the well offshore principles of project planning and control, principles of project planning and control, has been drawn from experience gained with several North Sea platform developments. The availability of hookups offshore strictly limits the size of workforce which can be process hoikup hook-up work and, therefore, imposes a major constraint on the schedule. Hotel- ships can be offshore to supplement procezs number of permanent platform beds but will substantially increase the manpower cost. In addition to bed limitations, manning levels are restricted by commissioning regulations and operating practice. The early commissioning of safety systems and equipment, such as the lifeboats, will be an important factor influencing the rate and which offshkre can be mobilized in the early stages.
