SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1991, PMCC has considered the delivery of project management services to the oil, gas and support industries one of our core competencies.

Our staff has extensive experience with both upstream and downstream oil, gas and support industries projects. From the construction of compliant towers to the installation of pipelines in Africa, PMCC has helped oil companies and service providers improve their project performance. Through corporate wide training, we have enabled project team members to more competently use project management best practices. Additionally, we have assisted corporations with increasing their overall project management maturity by helping implement a corporate wide “project management language" and process supported by best practice project procedures.

Project managers and project organizations constantly struggle with issues related to engineering changes, variation requests from vendors, management's desire for more information, and a host of other issues. PMCC's staff can serve in a mentoring role to help project teams kick off meetings, assess risks, establish roles and responsibilities, and make sure that costs and schedule are truly integrated. We can also facilitate meetings to enable the project manager, project staff, field personnel, and clients to stay focused on the project.

A sampling of notable oil, gas & related industry achievements include:

Worked with an oil company to develop a one-day course for production engineers with less than three years experience. Primary focus was on scope development, scope management, and scheduling. We interviewed management and supervisors to gather corporate documents and then had them “buy into" successive drafts of the course.

Worked with an international oil field services company to develop customized training related to (1) Risk Management and (2) Project Execution Planning. We interviewed and coordinated discussions among five (5) international offices to ensure that the curriculum was focused and not culturally biased. Over 700 company employees attended the training classes at various corporate facilities around the world.
