Pipelines Engineering
Course overview
This course will cover the topics of design, construction and operation of onshore gas, liquid and multiphase oilfield pipelines.
Learning objectives
Basics of this subject shall be covered from Process Engineering point of view with some emphasis on pipeline engineering discipline. Differences between on-plot piping and pipelines, scope boundaries, basics of pipeline design, components of pipeline systems, including on-plot connectivity shall be discussed. Integrity issues and monitoring using intervention and non-intervention methods shall be discussed.
The course is designed for
- Pipeline Engineers;
- Process Design Engineers;
- Operations Engineers and Staff;
- Piping Engineers;
- HSE Specialists;
- Maintenance Engineers and staff; and
- Managers
