COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Tubulars and Pipe Handling. It covers the types of tubulars in the oil and gas industry; the pipe manufacturing processes and material properties of tubulars; the types of pipe handling equipment and tools, common terminologies and health, safety, and environment (HSE) considerations; the tubular design criteria, drill pipe specifications and selection; the casing and tubing design considerations and line pipe and flowline specifications; handling of tubulars during transportation; and the quality assurance and inspection and manual handling of tubulars.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the automated pipe handling systems, pipe running procedures, pipe storage and maintenance and HSE in pipe handling operations; handling large-diameter tubulars using specialized equipment, alignment and coupling techniques and safety considerations for large loads; the tubular damage and repair, dealing with stuck pipes and calculating torque and drag; the smart tubulars with embedded sensors, advances in automated handling systems and wear-resistant materials and coatings; and the tubular inspection methods, pipe handling system maintenance, field testing of tubulars and incident reporting and analysis.
