Why Choose this Training Course?

Offshore Field Development involves planning the field development, design engineering, construction, start-up and production operations. When planned and executed with marine assets, such offshore field development projects will be technically and commercially challenging. Therefore a good knowledge and competency of the project team members throughout the different phases of the field development are keys to the successful execution of such developments.

This training course will cover:

Opportunity Reference Planning and Field Development Planning (FDP)
Fiscal systems and Project economics
Design engineering, procurement
Substructures and topsides fabrication and construction
Load-out, sea transportation and offshore installation
Hook-up, commissioning, and start-up
Overview of the major and support marine vessels, cranes and pipe-laying equipment

This PetroKnowledge course emphasises the use of best practices, illustrative engineering calculation, drawings and diagrams to enhance the learning experience of the participants. Relevant international and typical client engineering standards will be referred to.

By attending this training course, the participants will be better prepared to function in the field development, feed and design engineering, fabrication and construction department, offshore installation, hook-up, commissioning and start-up of offshore projects. Such roles include development engineering, field and discipline engineers, project engineer, cost estimating engineers, fabrication and construction engineers, contract admin executives, CSR, construction supervisors and engineers.

This training course will feature:

Overview of field development planning (FDP) and project management
Design engineering process, deliverables and flowchart
Fabrication techniques such as cutting and welding, blasting and painting
Erection and assembly techniques, including cranes and lifting techniques
Load-out techniques, preparations and ballasting
Sea-fastening engineering and implementation
Structure and topsides installation techniques
Pipelaying and riser installation activities
Subsea installation and diving support activities
Hook-up workpack process and execution
Hook-up activities for each engineering discipline
Commissioning activities, start-up and handover to client

What are the Goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

Understand what entails in field development planning (FDP) and project management
Understand the complexities of Managing Offshore Field Development & Marine Asset
Understand Fabrication, Erection, Loadout and sea-fastening implementation at Fabrication yards
Understand the selection of the major support marine vessels and major installation equipment for offshore installation works
Fully understand the structure and topsides installation techniques
Understand what is involved in Pipelaying and riser installation works & Subsea installation and diving support activities
Fully understand what are involved in mobilisation of marine vessels, construction crew, marine crew and construction equipment
Understand the scope of work for hook-up and commissioning activities

Who is this Training Course for?

This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

Asset Managers
Field Engineers, CSRs, Construction Supervisors, Project engineers
Operations engineers
Workpack engineers
Structural engineers
Metocean engineers
Pipeline discipline engineers
Subsea equipment engineers
Various discipline engineers (structural, piping, equipment, electrical, instrumentation)

Managers and executives who are new to Offshore engineering projects
Other engineers and technicians who need to update their current Oil and Gas industry experience and wanting to move to Offshore Field development Projects
University engineering lecturers who wish to be CPD-certified by Institution of Engineers (IEM) at their respective countries

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course will be conducted in a classroom. Examples and video clips of past offshore fabrication and load-out activities, as well as offshore installation activities will be used to aid the learning and understanding of the subject matters. Participants will also take part in group classroom exercises to reinforce their learning experience. Each participant will receive a set of course materials. There will also be pre-course as well as post-course assessment tests.
