COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to cover the important area of pipeline troubleshooting and operation problem solving in the oil and gas fields. It will address the many operation problems that face the field operations engineers including optimizing the pipeline system in both offshore and onshore oil and gas fields. 

 

The course will provide an understanding of flow phenomena that can help the participants avoiding problems such as hydrate formation, pressure (surge) waves or high viscosity liquid flow failure. It will address several critical problems in achieving pipeline flow assurance. The focus of this course is on potential challenges to pipeline operations including surge, corrosion, hydrate formation, wax deposition, multiphase fluids and slugging. The causes from these problems, design solutions and operational responses will be an integral part of the course. 

 

The course aims to determine the importance of optimum pressure control performance on pipeline operations as at the end of the program, the participant will acquire practical knowledge that will be immediately applied including the optimizing of a pipeline from start to end covering all the various elements. 

 

The course will focus on the practical aspects of pipeline optimization in addition to the theoretical knowledge with regards to pipeline engineering. The process of pipeline optimizing will be assessed by means of an example project.
