    Studies suggest that, despite recent improvements in project risk management, a large part of the megaprojects do not meet the scope, schedule, cost and quality objectives (PMI, 2018, p. 1). A critical evaluation of the use of best risk management practices revealed that many of the conditions for the successful application of these methodological frameworks were not met in the megaprojects; Problems arose due to the little importance of managing risks to anticipate events that could affect the objectives. These impediments severely limit the ability to apply best practices in risk management in megaprojects, insofar as they may not produce meaningful and realistic results. In this way, this research aims to analyze risk management in a megaproject executed in a refinery in the oil sector in Colombia; At the end, the basis for a better form of risk management is explained that allows achieving a more adequate applicability of the reference frameworks. Therefore, the development of a new risk management approach was carried out in this megaproject, which was carried out on the basis of the analysis of the empirical findings of the refinery's experience in the lessons learned from other projects. This approach made it possible to show positive factors such as dedication in identifying risks within the meetings, and elements of opportunities for improvement such as handling bias in decision-making. This made it possible to account for a series of response strategies that could be applied in a systematic and coherent way to manage and mitigate the specific risks of the megaproject. Consequently, it can be concluded that the research study can contribute to the knowledge gap by introducing an adequate way to carry out the risk management of a megaproject. The research study makes an original theoretical, methodological and practical contribution, which adds to the body of knowledge on risk management towards megaprojects.
