Oil and gas industry leaders to gather and discuss the latest on EPC Contracts

RAFFLES PLACE, Singapore - April 8, 2014 - PRLog -- The upcoming EPC Contracts for Oil & Gas Projects – from Feasibility to Operations is a well-researched event organised by Neoedge, a top events company in Singapore. Its agenda aims to instil understanding of the unique features of oil and gas projects as well as the participants and the risks inherent to it. It will also provide knowledge of what issues need to be considered in planning the various components of project delivery.

The event is especially designed mainly for EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) Contracts in Southeast Asia; however, it is not limited to the region. North Asia, South Asia, Middle East and the Pacific Islands are also part of the geographical spread for this 4-day course.

Neoedge Business Development Manager, Cathy Dimson shared: “The course would cover the midstream oil and gas construction projects. The span will be from project commitment to the initial feasibility study, then moving on to conceptual design, detailed design, procurement, construction, commissioning and the handover of operational facility.”

While the event is timely and vital to the industry, it will be led by two expert trainers: Dr. Donald Charrett and Mr. Philip Loots. Aside from being world-renowned trainers, they are also industry practitioners themselves with more than 30 years and 40 years experience, respectively.

“It is about time that Asia’s EPC contracts for oil and gas projects turn its focus and take action in addressing the various project stages. It needs to be fully understood from the pre-contract phase as it requires careful consideration up until the final handover of the operational facility.”, added Dimson.

Dimson shared that: “This course will be most relevant to all those involved in the oil and gas projects who are looking to gain better understanding of all aspects of EPC contracts—from Employer representative who are responsible for project procurement, selecting contractual strategies, and managing oil and gas projects to Contractor representatives responsible for tendering, contract negotiation and contract management of oil and gas projects.
