Pipeline Control Room Management

Pipelines are one of the major elements in many oil and gas projects. Maintaining the functionality, safety and effectiveness is crucial during pipeline operations. 

Pipeline control room management refers to the practices involved in monitoring and controlling pipeline operations from a centralised control room within the pipeline’s facility. The controllers in the pipeline control room play a major role in the overall management and operation of the pipeline facility.

Management of pipeline control room involves addressing engineering and management solutions related to human factors and risk assessment. It involves complying with regulations and procedures to enhance the performance of the controllers and operator personnel who control pipeline operations. 

This Pipeline Control Room Management training course will highlight:

• Main pipeline operation problems
• Pipeline integrity
• Main codes and standards related to pipeline control management
• Main aspects of pipeline control management
• Pipeline control management best practices

This Pipeline Control Room Management training course will help participants understand the main problems that occur during pipeline operations. The training course will cover best practices of pipeline control management and how the control room can affect pipeline operation and integrity. 

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

• Understand the main problems during pipeline operation 
• Appreciate the importance of pipeline integrity
• Learn about pipeline failure causes and some lessons learnt
• Understand pipeline control room management best practices
• Understand some topics related to operational problems such as leak detection, water hammer and shutdown

This Pipeline Control Room Management training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Pipeline Engineers who want to expand their knowledge in the pipeline industry
• Engineers working in oil & gas integrity departments
• Pipeline Operators and Controllers
• Project Engineers
• Operation and Maintenance Engineers and Technicians
• Engineers from all disciplines who are new to the pipeline industry
• Managers and Executives who are new to the pipeline industry

This Pipeline Control Room Management training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented including:

• Course manual
• PowerPoint presentations
• Videos

The training course will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion of applications as well as hands-on exposure to techniques using examples from case studies and real projects. Delegates are strongly encouraged to bring and share their own experiences and lessons learnt from the work domain. This adds greater relevancy to the content.

This Pipeline Control Room Management training course will effectively impact the organisation by understanding the technology of pipeline control management and how this will affect the operation and integrity of the pipelines. The course will further discuss the following:

• Main problems during pipeline operation and how to mitigate them
• Pipeline integrity and causes of pipeline damage
• Main aspects of pipeline control room management
• Best practices related to pipeline controllers
• Pipeline leak detection methods

Upon successful completion of this training course, participants will be able to comprehend and effectively manage the challenges and risks encountered while working as controllers within their organisation.

The training course is very comprehensive and will address how to manage the pipeline control room and how to deal with major operational problems.
