Introduction

Pipeline systems for oil and gas industry play important role in modern industrial operations. The purpose of this training course is to present basic characteristics of efficient operation of pipelines in various engineering applications.

This GLOMACS training course will cover the interaction of pipelines with flow moving equipment, i.e. pumps and compressors and technical characteristics of operation of pump and compressor stations.

The delegates will be introduced to main points of inspection and testing according to relevant API standards.

They will also develop familiarity with methods of cleaning and other maintenance activities, including necessary repairs as prevention of failures.

The training course will include several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and exchange of experiences.

The Pipeline Operations and Maintenance training course will feature:

Main aspects of pipeline efficient and safe operation
Approaches to pipeline flow control and measurements
Processes of material degradation due to ageing and work load
Best practices for pipeline cleaning and maintenance
Inspection procedures and estimating remaining life of equipment

Objectives

By the end of this Pipeline Operations and Maintenance training course, delegates will be able to:

Identify basic principles of safe operation & efficient maintenance of pipelines for various industrial applications.
Develop deep understanding & familiarity with the practical aspects of operation and maintenance activities.
Illustrate the concepts discussed and be provided with necessary experience in applying them.
Use & follow the guidelines & best industrial practices related to operation, control, inspection & testing of pipelines.

Training Methodology

The training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples included in several workshops. The emphasis in the training course will be on the explanation of all technical phenomena and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday industrial practice related to installation, operation and maintenance, as well as repair and alterations of pipeline systems.

Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples. There will be ample opportunities for active discussion and sharing professional experiences and exchange that will help solidify the gained knowledge.

Who should Attend?

Process, chemical and mechanical engineers working in petrochemical and process industry, including oil refineries and gas production companies where operation and maintenance of pipelines are high importance
Operation, technical service and maintenance professionals from various processing plants involved in everyday operation, control, inspection and maintenance of pipelines
