PE0010-4D : Oil Movement Storage and Troubleshooting

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 provide participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the oil movement, storage and troubleshooting in modern refineries, process plants, oil/gas fields and marine terminals. It covers oil and gas transportation from the production fields to the refinery, process plant or the exporting facilities through land or sea. 

 

Participants of the course will be able to identify the different types of tank; review and improve the operation of a tank farm; illustrate the process of gas freeing of tanks and vessels; determine the various methods of gauging tanks; and employ crude oil processing in modern refineries, marine terminals and oil plants. 

 

The course will also cover LPG refrigeration; handling and bulk storage; terminal custody transfer, tank calibration and strapping, tank gauging technique, pulse radar and continuous wave radar and temperature compensation; leak detection system, the correct system, reliability, sensitivity, leak localization, pipeline observer and leakage classifier; production losses and the types of leaks; fatigue crack, stress corrosion cracking, surged induced vibration and meter performance; marine terminal and SPM operations; various product specifications; blending; tank mixing; meters and meter proving; crude oil and leaded gasoline tanks cleaning; and static electricity including its importance in oil movement, storage and troubleshooting. 

 

Finally, the course will identify the oil spill emergencies; review the operation and cathodic protection of gas transmission lines; explain the pigging of crude and gas pipelines; demonstrate the process of ship loading; recognize the role and the importance of quality assurance, control and work permit system; discuss the ship shore interface; and apply the supervision, control and communication as well as the discussion prior to cargo transfer, ship shore check list and firefighting.
