Un projet de développement d’une nouvelle installation pétrolière est lancé lorsque des études d’exploration et d’appréciation estiment que l’exploitation du gisement d’hydrocarbures découvert sera suffisamment rentable. La taille des projets rencontrés en industrie pétrolière impose de les découper en plusieurs périmètres. Chaque périmètre est attribué à un contracteur avec un type de contrat particulier, formant ainsi la stratégie contractuelle du projet. Durant le processus de sélection de la stratégie contractuelle, les entreprises pétrolières font face à trois difficultés récurrentes : 1) l’identification et la génération d’un nombre raisonnable et pertinent d’alternatives ; 2) l’évaluation des alternatives réalisables, qui dépendent de critères d’échelles et de natures différentes ; et enfin, 3) le besoin de justifier la solution proposée. La problématique de recherche est donc de concevoir une méthodologie d’aide à l’élaboration et la sélection de la stratégie contractuelle des projets de développement. Elle devra être la plus adaptée non seulement en termes de performances coûts, délais, mais devra également tenir compte des risques associés à ces performances. De plus, les interfaces entre contrats devront être considérées, car la performance collective de la stratégie peut être dégradée par rapport aux performances individuelles de chaque contrat. Ainsi, notre travail de recherche vise à mettre en place des solutions à la fois techniques et pratiques pour d'une part répondre à la question d'identification et de génération d'un ensemble pertinent d'alternatives de contrats et de stratégies contractuelles. D'autre part, construire et mettre en œuvre un système d’estimation et évaluation, permettant d’arriver à une proposition de stratégie contractuelle la plus performante pour le projet de développement. / A development project of a new oil and gas facility starts when the exploration and the appraisal studies estimate the exploitation of the hydrocarbon deposit is economically viable. The complexity and the size of the projects encountered in the industry impose to split them into several pieces, which represent the scope of future contracts. Each scope is then awarded to a contractor with a specific type of contract and selection mode, forming the contractual strategy to adopt in the project. During the contractual strategy selection process, oil companies encounters three recurring difficulties related to: 1) the identification of a reasonable and relevant set of alternatives; 2) the evaluation of potential alternatives, which depends on criteria from different scales and natures; and, 3) the need to substantiate the chosen contractual strategy solution. The research problem is to propose a decision aiding methodology for the development and selection of the most appropriate contractual strategy. It has to be the most performing in terms of cost and schedule, but should also consider the risks associated with these performances. In addition, the interfaces between the different contracts should also be considered, because the collective performance of the whole strategy may be degraded compared to the performance of each individual contract. Thereby, our work seeks to implement both technical and practical solutions to answer on the one hand the question of identification and generation of a relevant set of alternatives, at contracts and contractual strategy levels. On the other hand, to build and implement a system of estimation and evaluation of contractual strategies, allowing to come up with the most performing proposal to the upstream development project.

Produktutveckling är en generellt riskfylld bransch med stora investeringar och många saker som kan gå fel under projektens gång. Genom att tidigt i projekt identifiera risker och problemområden är det också lättare att undvika att problem uppstår. Under detta examensarbete studerades tre svenska företags riskhanteringsprocess genom intervjuer av projektledare på företagen. Detta examensarbete redogör också för aktuell forskning inom riskhantering men fokuserar även på organisatoriskt lärande och vikten av kundkrav, kopplat till risker i produktutvecklingsprojekt. Målet med arbetet var att föreslå olika förbättrings- och implementeringsmöjligheter för företag i deras riskhanteringsarbete med avseende på deras befintliga produktutvecklingsprocess. Det som framkommit under denna studie tyder på att en stor förståelse av kundkrav, kombinerat med en tydlig projektstruktur och arbete med organisatoriskt lärande, kan användas för att identifiera och minimera risker i produktutvecklingsprojekt. När kundkrav är uttryckt i mätbara variabler kan dessa kommuniceras så att alla inblandade har samma förväntningar på projektet vilket då leder till en minskad osäkerhet och färre risker. Studien tyder på att det finns många krav som är svåra att definiera, men när organisationen arbetar aktivt för att bevara och sprida definitioner av kundkrav som de stött på i tidigare projekt kan missuppfattningar minska och tidsbesparingar göras. Genom att ha en tydlig struktur och projektprocess är det också möjligt att implementera lärdomar i organisationen, där företag kan använda befintliga system och avstämningsmöten för att bevara och sprida kunskap. / Product development is a generally risky business with great investments and numerous things that can go wrong during the projects. By defining risks and problem areas early in the projects, the occurrence of problems can be avoided. During this bachelor thesis the risk handling process of three Swedish companies were studied by interviewing project managers working there. This report also accounts for current research within risk management, as well as organizational learning and the importance of customer demands, in relation to risks in product development projects. The aim for this bachelor thesis was to give suggestions on how companies can improve their risk handling in regards to their existing product development process. This study indicates that a great understanding of customer demands, combined with a clear project structure and organizational learning, can be used to identify and minimize risks in product development projects. When the customer demands are expressed using metric variables they can also be communicated to the team so that everyone involved have the same expectations on the project, which leads to reduced uncertainties and fewer risks. The study indicates that many demands are difficult to define, but when the organization actively works to preserve and distribute definitions of customer demands that they have previously encountered, it leads to fewer misconceptions and helps reduce project delays. By using a clear structure and project process it is also possible to implement lessons learned into the organization, using existing systems and scheduled meetings as a way to preserve and distribute knowledge.
