Effective SOP for Engineers & Technical Professionals in Oil & Gas

Personal Development and Management > Effective SOP for Engineers & Technical Professionals in Oil & Gas

About this Training Course

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are important for the safe and effective operation of industrial plants and oil & gas facilities. But SOPs are frequently developed late in the project, after the design is completed and construction is well underway. And they may be used for little other than operator training. Following start-up, they often end up on a shelf collecting dust. Used this way, SOPs have little influence on either the design or the operation of the facility. But this cannot reasonably be accomplished unless we start writing procedures that are more user-friendly. We must start writing SOPs that the operators will actually want to use.
