About
This intensive 5-day foundation level course covers the principal aspects of design, construction, and operations of offshore pipeline systems. The course focuses on pipeline mechanical, strength, and stability design, and construction. Special challenges, such as shoreline crossings, foreign pipeline crossings, repair methods, flow assurance, corrosion control and cathodic protection are an integral part of this course. Participants will acquire the essential knowledge and skills to design, construct, and operate pipelines. Design problems and team projects are part of this course.
Target Audience
Engineers, designers and operators who are actively involved in the design, specification, construction, and operation of offshore pipeline systems.
You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:
- Apply mechanical, strength, and physical principles to pipeline design, material selection, construction, and operation
- Describe the key construction methods
- Define the importance of environmental conditions, construction methods, and pipeline system hydraulics in design, installation, and operations of offshore pipeline systems
- Identify special design and construction challenges of offshore pipeline systems
- Incorporate construction methods into the design of a pipeline system
- Identify the principal interfaces of pipeline facilities, such as platforms, floating production systems, sub-sea wellheads, and SPMs on design, construction, and operations of offshore pipeline systems
- Identify offshore safety and environmental practices and their effect on design, construction, and operations
