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.
