The value of having a Corvelle consultant conduct an initial EPAP assessment is to gather the data to reasonably accurately estimate the cost of EPAP implementation.

When conducting an initial EPAP assessment for an operator, a Corvelle consultant will:

1. Help the operator select a small number of operated facilities.
2. Interview the control performers at the facilities using a Corvelle-developed interview guide.
3. Present the findings to operator management.
4. Use the information from the interviews to scope and estimate the effort required to implement EPAP and submit the first EPAP declaration.

The Corvelle effort required to conduct an initial EPAP assessment is measured in days; not weeks or more.

To invite a Corvelle consultant to your office to discuss conducting an initial EPAP assessment, please contact us.

The value of having a Corvelle consultant ensure EPAP best practices are being followed is to provide external, independent assurance that EPAP compliance is being maintained at the lowest possible cost.

A Corvelle consultant will review the EPAP work that has been performed and provide recommendations to:

1. Help the operator select a small number of operated facilities.
2. Strengthen EPAP best practices.
3. Provide confidence to senior management that is signing the EPAP Declaration.
4. Strengthen measurement and reporting best practices.
5. Avoid over-investment in EPAP.

The Corvelle effort required to ensure EPAP best practices is measured in days; not weeks or more for a small operator.

The value of having a Corvelle consultant provide professional coaching is to quickly build the understanding of your EPAP implementation project team to accelerate project completion and thereby lower EPAP implementation cost.

When providing professional coaching, a Corvelle consultant will:

1. Help the EPAP implementation project team widen their understanding of EPAP and cost-effective ways to implement.
2. Provide best practices methods for evaluating controls and for investigating the Compliance Assessment Report (CAR).

The Corvelle effort required to provide professional coaching is measured in days; not weeks or more for a small operator.

The value of having a Corvelle consultant develop your EPAP implementation project plan, together with your project team, is to quickly build an EPAP implementation project plan that is comprehensive and minimizes the risk of cost overrun. Such a project plan will accelerate project completion and thereby lower EPAP implementation cost.

When developing your EPAP project plan, a Corvelle consultant will:

1. Facilitate the EPAP implementation project team in developing a comprehensive EPAP implementation project plan.
2. Apply best practices methods and experience in developing the EPAP implementation project plan.
3. Orient your project team on effective approaches to implementing EPAP.

The Corvelle effort required to develop your EPAP project plan is measured in days; not weeks or more for a small operator.

The value of having a Corvelle consultant conduct the evaluations of measurement and reporting controls, is to apply our oil & gas industry expertise, to provide independence and to minimize the risk of cost and schedule overrun.

When conducting the evaluations of measurement and reporting controls, a Corvelle consultant will:

1. Plan the work with your project team and staff in the groups that will participate in the evaluations of measurement and reporting controls.
2. Conduct the evaluations of controls.
3. Produce a report of findings and recommendations for remediation.

The Corvelle effort required to conduct the evaluations of controls is directly proportional to the number of facilities to be evaluated. The work is typically measured in days or weeks.

To invite a Corvelle consultant to your office to conduct the evaluations of control, please contact us.

The value of leveraging Corvelle’s extensive EPAP development and implementation experience, is to leverage our oil & gas industry expertise, to ensure business benefits are realized and to minimize the risk of cost and schedule overrun.

When maximizing your business benefits, a Corvelle consultant will:

1. Focus investigation and resolution of items on the Compliance Assessment Report (CAR) on high business value items.
2. Minimize the sample size for evaluations of controls.
3. Ensure remediation plans focus only on remediating high business value control deficiencies.

The Corvelle effort required to maximize your business benefits is directly proportional to the number of facilities operated. The Corvelle effort is typically measured in weeks.

The value of engaging Corvelle’s extensive EPAP expertise, is to minimize the cost and disruption of an EPAP implementation.

When minimizing the cost and disruption of an EPAP implementation, a Corvelle consultant will:

1. Simplify the investigation and resolution of items on the Compliance Assessment Report (CAR).
2. Ensure that the disruption of staff for the evaluations of controls is minimized.
3. Spread remediation work over multiple years.

The Corvelle effort required to maximize your business benefits is directly proportional to the number of facilities operated. The Corvelle effort is typically measured in weeks.

The value of the EPAP Quick Self-Assessment Questionnaire is to quickly assess your current state of compliance with AER measurement and reporting requirements. The results can be translated into an initial effort range for remediating deficiencies that the EPAP implementation project will undoubtedly uncover.

Your effort required to complete the EPAP Quick Self-Assessment Questionnaire is measured in minutes.
