A single unplanned shutdown at an oil, gas or energy facility can cost more in lost production than years of maintenance budgets combined — which is exactly why facilities reliability in this sector cannot be treated as a support function bolted onto operations. It has to be engineered into how utilities, buildings, and technical systems are planned, maintained and protected from day one.

This Operational Reliability and Asset Integrity Training Course, delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, builds the practical capability to keep energy infrastructure running: managing critical utilities, protecting asset integrity, controlling technical and safety risk, and coordinating maintenance so that facilities support production instead of interrupting it.

By completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the technical, safety and environmental risks specific to oil and gas facilities and energy infrastructure.
• Manage critical utilities — power, water, HVAC, compressed air and fire protection — as one integrated system.
• Apply asset integrity principles, from criticality classification to inspection and lifecycle planning.
• Build preventive, predictive and emergency maintenance programmes that protect uptime.
• Coordinate facilities services with production and operational schedules.
• Manage contractors and outsourced technical services against clear performance standards.
• Strengthen emergency preparedness and business continuity for critical infrastructure.
• Improve energy, water and resource efficiency without compromising reliability.
• Apply facilities management KPIs to track performance and drive improvement.
• Develop an integrated facilities strategy aligned with energy-sector operational goals.
