The Risk Assessment & Risk Management for Oil & Gas Projects Course gives project, engineering, and operations professionals a structured, end-to-end framework for identifying, analysing, managing, and reporting risk across oil and gas project lifecycles — combining proven risk management methodologies with the specific technical and organisational complexity of the oil and gas industry.
Risk in oil and gas projects is multidimensional — spanning business, technical, and implementation dimensions, and requiring management at every level of the organisation from project team to executive leadership. Professionals who can navigate that complexity — building risk registers, conducting qualitative and quantitative analysis, applying Fault Tree Analysis, and producing risk evaluation reports that drive real decisions — are essential to project success in this industry.
This course addresses the full risk management lifecycle directly from proactive risk identification and the risk management process wheel, through the risk matrix, Decision Making Grid, QRA, and FTA, to risk response planning, monitoring, opportunity assessment, and the discipline of producing risk management reports that are genuinely useful to decision-makers.
The Risk Assessment & Risk Management for Oil & Gas Projects Course is built for professionals who want a rigorous, practical, and immediately applicable risk management capability — one that works in the real complexity of oil and gas project environments.
The Risk Assessment & Risk Management for Oil & Gas Projects Course is designed to develop comprehensive risk management capability from organisational risk awareness and identification through qualitative and quantitative analysis, response planning, monitoring, and risk reporting.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
The Risk Assessment & Risk Management for Oil & Gas Projects Course is designed for project, engineering, operations, and technical professionals in the oil and gas industry who are responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing project risk and who want a structured, rigorous approach to doing so.
This course is suitable for:
The Risk Assessment & Risk Management for Oil & Gas Projects Course is delivered through a structured, application-focused learning approach that moves progressively from risk management fundamentals and identification tools through qualitative and quantitative analysis, response planning, and risk reporting. Each day addresses a distinct phase of the risk management lifecycle building a complete, integrated capability across the full course.
Practical exercises, risk register development, QRA and FTA applications, and risk report evaluation activities are integrated throughout ensuring delegates connect risk management frameworks to the operational and project realities they face in oil and gas environments.

Common questions about our training courses
This course is designed for project managers, risk management professionals, HSE specialists, operations managers, engineering professionals, and senior leaders in the oil and gas industry who need a structured, rigorous approach to identifying, analysing, managing, and reporting project risk. It is suitable for both experienced professionals formalising their risk management practice and those newer to structured risk management who want a comprehensive, oil and gas-specific foundation.
Day 3 covers qualitative risk analysis in full including how to apply the risk matrix to assess probability and consequence, how to use the Decision Making Grid to prioritise risk responses, and how High Reliability Organisation principles inform the way organisations approach risk assessment and management. Delegates develop a structured, repeatable qualitative analysis capability that improves consistency and defensibility in risk prioritisation decisions.
Day 4 focuses on risk response planning and risk management plan development — covering how to structure risk responses across avoidance, mitigation, transfer, and acceptance, how to calculate risk management budgets, and how to build a risk management plan that integrates identification, analysis, response, and monitoring into a coherent, project-specific framework. Delegates leave with a practical risk management planning template they can adapt and apply to their own oil and gas projects.
Risk identification tools and techniques are covered within Day 2 — examining the range of structured approaches available for identifying risks in oil and gas project environments, how they are applied within the risk management process wheel, and how identified risks are captured and managed within a risk register. Delegates leave with the ability to select and apply the most appropriate identification tools for their specific project type and risk environment.
Quantitative Risk Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, and Reliability Block Diagrams are covered within Day 3 — giving delegates a working understanding of how probabilistic and systems-based risk quantification methods are applied to technical risk assessment in oil and gas projects. Delegates develop the ability to interpret and contribute to QRA outputs, understand FTA logic structures, and use RBD modelling to evaluate system reliability — technically important capabilities for anyone involved in oil and gas project risk assessment.
Opportunity assessment is included within Day 4 — recognising that effective project risk management is not solely about threat management but also about identifying and capturing the upside opportunities that uncertainty creates. Delegates develop the ability to apply opportunity assessment within the same framework as risk management — ensuring that oil and gas projects are managed to maximise value as well as minimise loss.
