Industry

Oil and gas.

From design through hook-up, one schedule the yard and the offshore team can both use.

This is not a second practice. It is project planning, integrated planning, or a portfolio view, for a job whose dates run through a yard, a sail, and a deck. The buyer is often in Queensland. The work may be further away when that buyer asks.

What the schedule has to carry

Design and the tender

Long-lead equipment, the quantities you can defend, and a narrative of the assumptions. We do not price the bid.

Fabrication

Module or spool progress the yard can update. The file names the constraint, not a slogan about the yard.

Load-out and sail

Weight, centre of gravity, and the tide or weather window as calendars.

Hook-up and commissioning

One sequence for the systems that have to turn over, and the clashes between crews on the same deck.

Where the three levels show up

• Project planning is one of those files: a tender, a baseline, a shutdown, or the monthly update.
• Integrated planning is the yard, the marine spread, and the offshore team each holding a plan that does not agree.
• Portfolio planning is several live campaigns, once one of those schedules is already trustworthy.

Not in this offer

• A guaranteed mechanical-completion date.
• A claim result, or a delay analysis dressed up as the planning job.
• A yard system, or the Primavera licence.
