This presentation addresses a common challenge in brownfield project delivery for operational assets, where maintenance and reliability engineering tasks are under scoped by EPCM contractors and treated as burdensome compliance items. Asset owners are left to fill the gaps, often cycling between internal ownership and outsourcing. Delivered by a client representative from a major Australian oil and gas producer, the talk outlines how dedicated Operations Readiness resources were used to drive consistency, accountability, and complete operational readiness across a brownfield project portfolio at RFSU.

• Typical EPCM brownfield operational readiness delivery pitfalls and limitations
• The plight of internalising operational readiness amidst competing priorities
• Benefits of dedicating specialist resources to the management of change
• Developing a scalable operations readiness process for project portfolios
• Embedding readiness into brownfield project governance and workflows
• Achieving consistency and completeness at RFSU through proactive planning
