A well is a system of barriers
Primary barrier is usually hydrostatic — the mud column. Secondary is mechanical — the BOP. If either is unproven, the bit does not turn.

How energy companies actually work
Primary barrier is usually hydrostatic — the mud column. Secondary is mechanical — the BOP. If either is unproven, the bit does not turn.
Offshore is weather, marine spread and the stack. Onshore is access, water, pads and neighbours. Do not copy a jack-up plan onto a land pad.
A hold-point is a named gate with a criterion and an owner. ISO 45001 is the management-system language. A poster is not.

Investor administration uses the same idea as well control: nothing posts without evidence.
Roads, noise, local workforce and grievance routes belong in the mobilisation pack.

Exploration, appraisal and development are different jobs. The abandonment plan should be visible before the first joint.

Inspection planning is production support, not a compliance tax.
Power
Interconnection and offtake decide whether a plant is an asset or a stranded slide.
People
Tickets have dates. A frozen crew list is a hold-point. A CV is a biography.
