Quite a large number of oil and gas major projects are failures
with respect to their costs, schedules and operational performance.
Owner companies and contractors are struggling with the issues
causing these failures. Front End Engineering Design (FEED) has
been identified as an important factor that plays a key role in
determining the success of a project. However, the FEED and
associated Front End Loading (FEL) do not get the attention it
deserves from the players in the business, namely the owner
companies, FEED and EPC contractors. While academic studies on the
FEL and its failures are available, how the seeds of failures are
sown during an actual project FEED, remains a mystery. The details
are usually buried in the rubbished computers and hundreds of
files, that are shelved in company offices. In this unique book,
two experienced professionals, one from an owner company and the
other from an international EPC contractor, whose interests often
oppose each other, join to give their perspectives about the
project life cycle, its governance structure, gate system,
complexities, contract models and quality measurements. In the
second part of the book, they present case studies of projects gone
wrong, due to mismatches, errors, and inconsistencies in the FEED.
These case histories reveal how avoidable gaps and errors creep
into FEED resulting in project failures and how the review systems
fail to detect them. Technical and business professionals seem to
underestimate the importance of FEED in capital intensive major
projects, while focussing on short term goals. The underlying
causal factors need to be addressed and resolved in time properly,
for ensuring success of major projects in oil and gas. Written in a
concise and practical style, with key takeaways at the end of each
chapter, this book will be a useful guide for the practising
project and engineering professionals in the oil and gas industry.
Senior students and researchers will find ideas and viewpoints
given in the book worth exploring further.
