Large capital-intensive projects in the oil and gas industries require substantial - and mostly risky - investments in the acquisition, exploration, and subsequent operation and maintenance of new organizational assets.
The decision of whether or not to invest in new capital projects in the oil and gas industry starts with critical decisions during the exploration phase of new development or the expansion of an existing field. The decision-making tools used to analyze project risk under conditions of uncertainty will help companies to determine the probability of success or loss and will drive the decision to develop or abandon the well.
Crisis management is concerned with responding to, managing, and recovering from an unforeseen event. Risk management is concerned with identifying, assessing, and mitigating any activity or event that could cause harm to the business. Risks can be strategic or operational in nature. A business continuity plan (BCP) is a process that outlines the potential impact of disaster situations on business operations. It creates policies that respond to various situations to ensure a business is able to recover quickly after a crisis.
