AB - Adapting to climate change requires new tools and processes within the oil and gas sector. In this paper we present a potential adaptation process. We also discuss the results of an investigation using the Regional Environmental Modelling System (ReEMS). ReEMS is being used to revise design criteria of infrastructure. Using the Caucasus as a case study we examine the hypothesis that air temperature change can be a proxy for extreme rainfall change. Climate simulations have been performed over a two decade-long period to emulate a recent past and future climate scenario. Mean and extreme precipitation changes are shown to be decoupled. Clausius-Clapeyron scaling is considered to be a good estimator for changes in modelled extreme precipitation with temperature. The similarity between the theoretical and modelled climate results is closer for more extreme rainfall and is also found to depend on the region over which the comparison is made.
