Evaluation of the planning and control process of offshore oil and gas platform projects at the engineering stage with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) approach, 6th and 7th editions to improve time performance

The oil and gas exploration process continues to be carried out in order to achieve the oil and gas production target. However, offshore oil and gas platform projects are often found to experience delays in completion. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation of the project planning and control process is needed to improve project time performance, so that it can be completed according to target effectively and efficiently. This study focuses on the evaluation of offshore oil and gas platform project planning and control at the engineering stage using the approach in PMBOK Editions 6 and 7. This approach aims to identify the main activities in planning and control and evaluate the suitability of the process with the PMBOK guidelines. In addition, it is also to identify the dominant risk factors that affect project time performance. This study was conducted using a case study approach and qualitative analysis using secondary data from various literature and documents related to the project. This evaluation is expected to provide insight into the gap between theory and practice in the field and produce strategic recommendations to improve the effectiveness of offshore oil and gas platform project management.
