quantities of the liquids and gases through piping and pipelines designed for those purposes. This movement occurs from the oil and gas fields through refining and processing plants, and onwards to the storage and sales points. The equipment used for to move the fluids are termed rotating equipment. These types of equipment are used extensively and provide an increase in pressure for both liquid and gas streams to enable the passage of fluids to the required destination
Most Process Organisations have implemented an integrated approach to managing health, safety, and environmental ‘HSE’ risks through an HSE Management System. This program aims to highlight the benefits of such a system and its elements, based on industry best practice. This program is designed to help delegates to demonstrate compliance with the organization's HSE Management System, special focus is on risk management and promoting a positive safety culture
Mechanical engineering is at the center of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with sound engineering principles, but also with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring, and condition evaluation. The mechanical engineer is interested in safe containment and movement of solids, liquids, and gases. Of specific importance are material properties, design, static & rotating equipment design, inspection, and repair as well as an understanding of maintenance strategies and condition monitoring.
The effective management and operation of an oil and gas terminal are essential for a successful business. The processing, transporting, and storing of crude oil and refined petroleum products, in tank farms, involves custody transfers of partner and commingled stock, significant volumes of data from various sources, and blending operations complexities. In addition, as these liquids are loaded and offloaded in bulk quantities, there is a large transfer of high value that makes it imperative for tank farm operators to efficiently manage their inventory and maximize their return on investment. This training course provides an overview of the American Petroleum Institute API-650, API 620, and API 2610 specifications as well as the API 653 inspection standard. Emphasis is also given both as to safety as well as operability of tank farms and the training includes Seveso III Directive real-life example reports, how they were carried out, and implemented. Upon successful completion of this training course, participants will gain knowledge on oil terminals and tank farms, methods of tank gauging, crude oil product specifications, product blending, and tank mixing, dealing with of oil spill emergencies, cleaning of crude oil and heavy product tanks, understanding and employ a work permit system, pigging operations of oil pipelines, quality assurance and control, contingency and safety procedures.
The mechanical integrity and reliability of process equipment and piping systems can only be achieved if they are designed by competent engineers and operated and maintained effectively within the design envelope, namely, the integrity operating window (IOW). This course provides the appropriate mix of fundamentals, methodologies, best industry practices, and practical tools to enhance the competencies and improve the performance of design, operation, and maintenance technical professionals individually and collectively to add value to the organization and improve the plant safety and reliability.
This course will stress the practical application of modern techniques in well test analysis, with a special emphasis on the pressure derivative. Various pressure analysis techniques will be used to analyze flow tests, buildup tests with or without phase redistribution, multi-rate tests, interference tests, and pulse tests. Interpretation of pressure tests under multiphase flow conditions, hydraulically fractured wells, naturally fractured reservoirs, slanted wells, and horizontal wells will be discussed in great detail.
The annual losses due to corrosion and the cost of rectification run to several billion dollars in oil & gas exploration industries around the world. High production under aggressive and extreme operational conditions necessitates the development of new materials which also have peculiar failure behaviors. Thus the industry operators are on continuous perusal with different corrosion management strategies. Yet unforeseen failures of top-side, sub-surface and sub-sea infrastructure due to corrosion not only entails the loss of production but the loss of life as well. Prediction of failure behaviors, remaining useful life, corrosion preventive measures are all approaches in corrosion management for safe and economic operation of production wells and other facilities. Successful corrosion management influences the economic outcome of the company by ensuring the cost-effective selection of materials, chemical treatments, coatings, cathodic protection systems, and appropriate designs
This comprehensive oil & gas training course recognizes the need for professionals to have a comprehensive and broad understanding of the Petroleum Industry from A to Z - from upstream to downstream. Oil and gas are the world's most important energy resources driving the global economy. The processes and systems required for oil and gas production, refining, and distribution are highly complex, capital-intensive, and require state-of-the-art technology. This training course will serve as an introduction to the petroleum industry and will greatly assist those who need to progress to a detailed knowledge of the industry
Process engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with chemical engineering principles but also with many of the other engineering disciplines including mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation. The process engineer is interested in the transportation and transformation of solids, liquids, and gases. Of specific importance are separation processes including distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics and fluid flow, reaction engineering, but also process control and economics
