1. Which of the following is NOT a key feature of Customer Acceptance Criteria (CAC) in Oil & Gas?
a. Specificity b. Measurability c. Ambiguity d. Achievability e. Relevance
The correct answer is **c. Ambiguity**. CACs should be clear and unambiguous to avoid misinterpretations.
2. Which of these is an example of a measurable Customer Acceptance Criteria for a drilling project?
a. The well should be safe. b. The well must have a leak-free casing. c. The well must achieve a minimum flow rate of 100 barrels per day. d. The well should be completed within budget.
The correct answer is **c. The well must achieve a minimum flow rate of 100 barrels per day.** This criterion is specific, measurable, and directly related to the project's objectives.
3. What is a significant benefit of clearly defined CACs in Oil & Gas projects?
a. Increased project costs b. Reduced project risk c. Delayed project completion d. Reduced communication between stakeholders
The correct answer is **b. Reduced project risk**. Clear CACs help identify potential challenges and develop strategies for mitigating them, reducing overall project risk.
4. Which of these is NOT a good practice for developing effective CACs?
a. Involve all relevant stakeholders. b. Prioritize criteria that are most important to the project. c. Use technical jargon to ensure accuracy. d. Regularly review and update CACs throughout the project lifecycle.
