dc.description.abstractThe engineering and construction companies working in the oil and gas industry treat lessons learnt as secrets of the trade. Therefore, they rarely publish relevant registers for professional or educational purposes. The aim of this research is the investigation of current issues in the oil and gas industry through capitalising on experience coming from practitioners (lessons learnt). The research tool comprises a semi-structured questionnaire that was built around the project management subject groups as these are described in the ISO21500 standard: Guidance on Project Management as well as the PMBOK. Nine Australian oil and gas project managers with experience ranging from 10 to 20 years, were interviewed, and their personal experiences were investigated through cluster analysis. Relevant ideas among interviewees were grouped together forming captured lessons learnt that are presented under four overarching themes, namely a) Integration and Quality, b) Human Resources, Communications and Stakeholders, c) Risk and d) Procurement, Scope, Time and Cost. In conclusion, this empirical research presents a particular insight to the Australian oil and gas construction projects and extends the limited repository of scholarly publications for lessons learnt from this particular industry.
