Fundamentals of
Offshore Pipeline Engineering

INTRODUCTION

The majority of current and future offshore oil and gas explorations are conducted in deep waters. Offshore and subsea pipelines are a major asset in most offshore Oil & Gas operators. Ensuring its functionality, durability and effectiveness is a paramount operation and business requirement.

This GLOMACS Fundamentals of Offshore pipeline Engineering training course identifies all subsea pipeline project phases including the design, fabrication, installation, inspection, maintenance, repair, and integrity management. The training course focuses mainly on offshore pipelines. 

This 5-Day training course has been designed to cover all life cycle oil and gas offshore pipeline projects. This training course will give you the international insight of the subsea pipeline industry to enable you to retain your talent in order to ensure sustainable career growth.  This is essential development for those who need to develop their knowledge and skills related to subsea pipeline design, installation, inspection and management.

This training course will highlight:

• Offshore pipeline design
• Fabrication and installation of subsea pipelines
• Pipeline inspection and repair
• Threats to integrity and safety
• Integrity management and maintenance of offshore pipeline
• Offshore pipeline installation and inspection challenges
• Umbilical, risers and flowlines design and installation
• Facility interface such as FPSO and FLNG

Objectives

This training course will help participants understand different aspects of offshore pipelines, risers and flowlines design, fabrication, installation, integrity, inspection, maintenance, and repair.  By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
