Application and use of this recommended Project Guide can ensure a measure of uniformity of approach and an increased degree of co-operation between all concerned in the provision and use of project schedules.
Experience has shown that poor planning by owner E&P Companies leads to either late delivery of the project or to additional costs to accelerate a project, or both, resulting in significant reduction in the value realisation of the project. The development and implementation of projects, whether new construction (Green field) or revamp projects (Brown field) are usually not executed by the owner of the E&P Assets, but are contracted out to specialised companies, commonly referred to as ‘Contractors’. However, to plan and control a project, a substantial effort is also required from the owner, since the contractor(s) will have a different perspective and value drivers than the owner, which may depend on the type of contract. In addition the owner undertakes specific activities, such as Front-End Development and study work, surveys, organisational, commercial and other management activities. Furthermore, after completion of the project, the facility has to be prepared and handed over for commissioning and start up. Even if a Managing Contractor is selected, a full project overview is not always obtainable outside the owner organisation.
