Large Planning is a general term that sets a clear road map that should be followed to reach a destination. The term, therefore, has been used at different levels to mean different things. Planning involves the breakdown of the project into definable, measurable, and identifiable tasks activities, and then establishes the logical interdependences among them. These plans involve four main steps Performing breakdown of work items involved in the project into activities. Identifying the proper sequence by which the activities should be executed. Activities representation. Estimating the resources, time, and cost of individual activities. Planning requires a rigorous effort by the planning team. A planner should know the different categories of work and be familiar with the terminology and knowledge used in general practice. Also, the planning tem should seek the opinion of experts including actual construction experience. This helps produce a realistic plan and avoids problems later on site. P. B. Sudha | Dr. K.

Many projects experience failures that result in poor project delivery performance or process capacity/reliability degradations after commissioning
Many studies have shown that 60% to 95% of equipment life cycle costs (TLCC) are a result of decisions made (in CAPEX) prior to handover/start-up and transfer to owners (maintenance or operations) in OPEX
Wouldn’t it make common sense to manage the risk of CAPEX project failures in advance and address equipment life cycle decisions in (CAPEX) rather than after commission handover phase (OPEX)?
Shouldn't owners "invest" in project success "insurance" to help ensure that these multi-billion dollar projects are delivered as they were intended?

Upstream Bust Meets Downstream Boom in Houston: The East Side Earns Some RespectEnergy Construction Forum
The oil price question is dominant for Houston’s economic outlook. Oil, and the timing of a recovery of oil markets, dominates the conversation today. In this presentation, we will see that oil is both helping and hurting right now. The drilling bust is the big negative, damaging the west side of Houston. Meanwhile, a less noticed energy boom is underway on the east side of town – $50 billion in construction of refining, petrochemical and liquefaction plants.
Attendees will get a better understanding of:
Where we have come from, and where we stand today
(5 past and present scenarios)
Houston job growth during 2015
(including losses or gains by sector)
The impact on Houston’s economy in 2016 if oil remains weak
Factors weighing on world oil markets
What the future’s market thinks about where WTI oil price is headed
How Houston’s downstream boom offsets the upstream bust
With the unprecedented build out of petrochemical facilities in the US amid collapsing crude and product prices, what marketplace will new supplies face both domestically and globally? What are the challenges for petrochemical facilities still in the planning stages? Meanwhile, how long can robust gasoline demand keep aromatics prices afloat and what challenges lie ahead for US refiners?
Attendees will get a better understanding of:
The extent of US petrochemical supply growth
How current price weakness could impact infrastructure plans
The impact of global markets on US exports and US domestic competitiveness
Why energy construction companies need to keep an eye out for all the above, how these developments will impact their business and how keeping in the loop of these developments could help them make better informed business decisions
Techniques for developing a cost-effective expansion will be presented. The key is advanced planning and evaluating constructability. The limiting large equipment capacity will be determined using process heat and material balance simulations and rating of the equipment. Once bottlenecks are determined, the rest of the facility can be revamped. Heat pinch will be used in the heat exchanger trains as heat input is usually the limiting item. A crude, vacuum and delayed coker complex expansion will be provided as an example.
Attendees will be provided with a step-by-step procedure on how to get more capacity, reduce energy usage or improve product quality from a unit or complex. Process simulations, equipment rating by computer evaluations, hydraulics, cost-estimates at the fel-0 conceptual, fel-1 factored and fel-2 take-off level will be provided. A process complex featuring three different types of units will be used as an example.
North America Crude Price Differentials: What do they Mean for Refiners and R...Energy Construction Forum
This presentation will examine the implications of low oil prices on North American crude price differentials and the impact on refiners and refining investments. It will also compare North American refineries and refinery investments to their global peers
Managers of complex energy projects struggle with delivering project performance even with implementing proven project management practices, including change management, risk management, and interface management. This presentation discusses a new approach that gives project teams a higher level of oversight, enabling more informed decisions and leading to improved project efficiency.
This presentation will highlight the major causes of cost overrun in megaprojects, and, with a focus on interface management as a recently adopted best practice, it will discuss:
The features and elements of interface management best practice,
Its correlation with other management practices, and
How these practices can be connected to interface management in a novel way to boost project compliance and efficiency.
Managing with Certainty Through Unprecedented Construction Resource Shortage Energy Construction Forum
The slate of new industrial projects on the Gulf Coast is unprecedented. A huge influx of new workers will need to be brought into the construction industry. Projects can go two ways – a disaster to cost, schedule, safety and human life or be successful by following these suggested common principles.
Next Generation of Front End Construction Driven Planning Provides Solutions ...Energy Construction Forum
Workforce planning (WFP) is an iterative, interactive, collaborative planning by operations, construction, engineering, information management, contracting and procurement that aligns engineering and procurement to support field execution and start-up. It improves predictability of cost and schedule based on attainment of productivity and progress targets.
Focused on owner and contractor organizations, this presentation highlights considerations for readiness and deployment of WFP, including prerequisites for success, key roles, KPIs, and barriers to implementation.
Keynote Address: How to Transform the Construction Industry for the 22nd CenturyEnergy Construction Forum
The initial years of the 21st century have already been marked by massive shifts in how people work and live. Changes in technology continue to redefine how goods and services are produced and consumed. While these shifts are making an impact on capital projects in the energy sector, the pace of change within the industry has been relatively slow. As a result, this session highlights many of the most significant trends and opportunities available to industry stakeholders today and tomorrow.
Organizations that prize the development of people and technology will outpace those left behind. Industry fragmentation will yield both opportunities for consolidation and mass customization. New financial products and delivery systems for capital projects will enable reductions in cost and schedule. The advent of new automation and sensor technologies will create opportunities to improve project productivity and safety dramatically. Increasingly, attention will be paid to both the capital and operating expenses of facilities such that modernization upgrades will resemble the latest release in software (i.e., relatively fast and cost effective). These shifts will be dramatic and disruptive. However, future success is entirely dependent on taking decisive action now.

in
this
effort
was
that
the
project
organiza7on
had
to
be
responsive
to
mul7ple
stakeholder
groups
including
the
state
owned
natural
gas
company,
the
European
E&P
operator
and
the
consor7um
construc7on
partners.
Complica7ng
factors
for
the
project
organiza7on
included
the
need
to
deal
with
stakeholder
groups
with
poten7ally
conflic7ng
interest,
challenging
consor7um
group
members
and
several
different
languages
and
cultures.
Outcome
• A&M
successfully
compiled
project
management
requirements,
developed
a
unified
organiza7on
structure
that
equipped
the
client
to
ramp
up
quickly
and
immediately
begin
execu7ng
the
one
hundred
day
plan
followed
by
subsequent
plans
for
building
out
various
sub-‐teams
according
to
the

the
underlying
drivers
of
their
resource
and
personnel
requirements,
and
ul7mately
their
need
for
facili7es.
