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)?

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]]>

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. ]]>

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.]]>
