Project management for oil and gas projects comes with a unique set of challenges that include the management of science, technology, and engineering aspects. Underlining the specific issues involved in projects in this field, Project Management for the Oil and Gas Industry: A World System Approach presents step-by-step application of project management techniques. Using the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) framework from the Project Management Institute (PMI) as the platform, the book provides an integrated approach that covers the concepts, tools, and techniques for managing oil and gas projects.The authors discuss specialized tools such as plan, do, check, act (PDCA); define, measure, analyze, improve, control (DMAIC); suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, customers (SIPOC); design, evaluate, justify, integrate (DEJI); quality function deployment (QFD); affinity diagrams; flowcharts; Pareto charts; and histograms. They also discuss the major activities in oil and gas risk assessment, such as feasibility studies, design, transportation, utility, survey works, construction, permanent structure works, mechanical and electrical installations, and maintenance.Strongly advocating a world systems approach to managing oil and gas projects and programs, the book covers quantitative and qualitative techniques. It addresses technical and managerial aspects of projects and illustrates the concepts with case examples of applications of project management tools and techniques to real-life project scenarios that can serve as lessons learned for best practices. An in-depth examination of project management for oil and gas projects, the book is a handbook for professionals in the field, a guidebook for technical consultants, and a resource for students.
I am impressed by the book's list of international contributors. It truly gives a global view on Project Management.As a Full Professor of Fluid Dynamics and Director of the Graduate Program on Energy Geopolitics at the Argentine Army School of Engineering (Buenos Aires, Argentina) I'm very interested in books related to those subjects. Currently, I am working on the relationship between Project Engineering and Global Energy Geopolitics focused in the Oil& Gas International Projects, so this book is an important source to add, confirm, correct, and review my own views on the academic field I teach.This book deals on very complex subjects that demands knowledge, experience, and an exhausting effort. I know because I've been unsuccessfully trying to finish mine for years. In short, an excellent book that Project Engineers and Managers should have in their library.I would love to contact the book's authors as we work in the same academic field. I can easily be found in the main browsers under my name, "Ing Guillermo Martinez Funes". Thanks for the book. You can add this remark to any of your publications and quote me.
